Prior to working with Dr. Cooper, my life was filled with vocal struggle and pain, […]

Dear Dr. Cooper, I thought I would write and tell you about my progress since I left the U.S. You can add my letter to your already thick file of testimonials. Six months ago I could not speak for more than a few seconds without experiencing pain in my throat, jaw and the base of […]

I think my voice is quite a bit better than when I first went to see you. I am very glad I went to see you…my quality of life has improved by leaps and bounds. Thanks for your help and concern. D.H.

I sure am glad to know that you are doing well and still helping people with their voice problems.

Why does this condition […]
