Peter G Cooper, DDS

I’ve been Dr. Cooper’s patient for about thirty years. These days I go there two or three times a year for cleaning. My hygienist Suzi has been cleaning my teeth for at least twenty years. She’s very thorough, but she’s also very personable and kind. I’ve had no complaints with any of the staff, ever, at Dr. Cooper’s office. I appreciate everyone there.

I have been under the care of this doctor for over 20 years. Beginning with periodontal surgery and later implants. He is one of the two top periodontists in Pasadena. No longer living in the Pasadena/​LaCanada/​Glendale areas that I formerly lived in, I have driven from Rancho Cucamonga and now Acton to go to his office. He is fabulous in his ability and his caring manner. When I’ve had very extensive work done, he has personally called me at home to check on me. I would absolutely NEVER go to anyone else. And of course, he only has the very best of staff. Wonderful doctor!

I am a cash patient with health insurance that doesn’t cover advanced dental work. Dr. Cooper is a highly ethical dentist who has never once tried to overcharge me. Like a high-​end auto mechanic, he’s in a specialty business where it would be very easy to jack up the bills and present the inflated charges to a clueless patient. The fact that he doesn’t do this is a testament to his credibility and ethics.
As far as the dental work, everything has been absolutely fabulous. For real dental emergencies, the staff will do everything possible to accommodate a busy person’s schedule. This kind of gold-​star treatment matters, especially when you’re paying cash for your own dental work.
He also could have kept this business for his own office, but referred me back to my own dentist for a cleaning, telling me I only need to see his hygienist once a year. He said for me to book one teeth cleaning a year with my regular dentist and one with his office, six months later. So he is ethical and money isn’t the only thing he cares about. He actually cares about what is best for his patients.
My only complaint is that Dr. Cooper admitted he hates cats. I guess I can forgive him for this one character flaw.

Dr. Cooper is a leading periodontist in the Pasadena area, but his chair side manner was not a match for me. I am certain his skills are outstanding, but if you are dentist-​phobic like I am and you are looking for empathy regarding your fear of procedures you may want to check out others in the area. Let’s face it, if you are being referred to a periodontist, nothing that takes place in his office is going to be fun. I struggle with my dental hygienist and mine is a 10! But, this is just my experience and maybe I caught him on a bad day — other periodontists in the area offer iv sedation for some of the more intense procedures whereas Dr. Cooper does not.

Dr. Cooper and his office staff deserve a 5+ star rating. I’ve been going to Dr. Cooper since the early to mid 1990s, and since then, my periodontal pockets have improved vastly, and are practically non-​existant now. (The dental hygienist is super and so nice, too. Thanks Susan!) It is a pleasure dealing with this office.

I was in my «regular» dentist’s chair last week, listening to Jazz and we were talking about reviews on Unilocal.Doctor Joe then said «You know that Doctor Cooper only has a few reviews». So here I am Unilocaling it up about Doctor Cooper.
Doctor Cooper is a GREAT Periodontist !
I love all 6 of my implants that he’s done for me.
He’s a great guy with a kick ass Staff.
He takes the time to explain things to you and put you at ease before he starts working on yer face.
But here’s the $ 100 advice to all you Unilocalers out there:
If you’re thinking about going to one of those drive-​thru implant clinic — DON’T. In the end you’ll get better service, better quality, and more peace of mind with Doctor Cooper.

Six thumbs up! They actually care about how I feel. The staff is uniformly kind and friendly. Dr. Cooper explains exactly what he’s doing and checks in with you throughout the procedure. I’m not just an inanimate set of teeth with insurance to them. I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr Cooper is the best Periodontist I have been his patient for 5+ years. I have always found his staff very welcoming and professional. Dr. Cooper has replaced one of my teeth with an implant it was a easy procedure you can’t even tell it is an implant. Dr Cooper saved my smile. If you need a great dentist for implants Dr Cooper is the best.
