This was face surgery to remove a cyst. The surgeon, Simone Topal, MD, was excellent. So was everyone else. I have always had a great experience at Cooley, as has my wife.

My visit was WONDERFUL! I was there about 2 hours, did not ever feel rushed, especially about making an important decision about surgery. Dr. Topal was delightful, candid, and openly answered my questions. I happen to be an employee at CDH (Inpatient Mental Health Counselor) and it makes me proud to work at a place that also employs such a caring doctor at Dr. Topal and great support staff. I find myself feeling the same way time and again with staff throughout the CDH system.

Dr. Topal was really great. She listened to all my questions. She was reassuring. She was really fabulous. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of wait somebody has to wait in order to have surgeries that we want. But I understand she's really busy. It's still a little hard, tough to have to wait so long. That's my only, it's not even a complaint, it's just feedback. But when you're good, you're good. So you wait and get what you wait for. Anyway, I'm excited to be in her care. Thank you.

I was treated with such respect, care, kindness and compassion while also knowing, not just feeling like but knowing that my best interests were being met and that my health was their imperative. I can't say enough amazing things about Dr. Topal and her care team, literally she's amazing and they are all amazing. I was recommended to her by other patients who were impressed both with the care but also the incredibly impressive surgical outcomes. I'm a very nervous patient, and I have lots of anxiety around procedures and have been gaslighted and dismissed by other practitioners before at other care centers. But never with Dr. Topal and never at Cooley, I'm incredibly impressed and grateful it eases my anxiety and I honestly think helps with the healing! Thank you!!
