A great place to go if your knee hurts. Dr. Cooper doesn't push surgery on anybody but prefers conservative care and I like that

Excellent doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and truly cares. After following his recommendations I went from walking with a limp all the time and pain (only in my 20s) to living a normal life relatively pain free life.

This is probably the best place to go to if you have any knee problems in the Poconos. Dr Cooper and his staff are extremely thorough and have the latest equipment in diagnosing and managing the problems. They have an in-office ultrasound which allows the patients to see what is wrong virtually immediately and dr. Cooper specializes in the latest treatment for non-surgical knee arthritis so you can avoid a knee replacement.

I have found very few medical clinics that operate any more efficiently, or courteously than The Knee Center. Every question is answered. Every visit is topped with quick movement to a treatment room, quick attention to the issue at hand, and smiling, friendly medical personnel.

Dr David Cooper has been giving me gel injections for my knee. I was told I need a knee replacement but ever since he is giving me these injections I am much better and I don't need surgery. I would recommend him highly.
