Dr Michael Cooper

Dr Cooper was born in Zimbabwe and completed his National Service as a Pilot in the Army. He moved to Johannesburg, South Africa and undertook a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Anatomy and Physiology. Dr Cooper immigrated to Australia and completed his undergraduate degrees in Medicine and Dentistry, and having achieved the necessary requirements, he sat and passed the Fellowship examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Having trained at various hospitals in Sydney, Dr Cooper moved to Canberra, undertaking the full range of procedures within the scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and actively teaching both junior and senior registrars within the specialist field. Dr Cooper works both in the Private and Public Hospitals, and continues to manage and operate at the Canberra Surgicentre, which has remained a highly successful fully accredited day hospital. Surgicentre is attached to his practice, and specifically caters for minor oral surgical procedures, including but not restricted to wisdom teeth, dental extractions and implants. All major procedures are carried out at external hospitals, through which he remains fully accredited. Dr Cooper has a wealth of experience and his compassion for patients is reflected in the positive comments and outcomes he receives from his patients.

Away from his surgical commitments, Dr Cooper enjoys the opportunity of spending quality time with his wife and young children.
