Mission Statement

Dr. Robert Cooper has created what may truly be called one of the country's most innovative patient care environments. It includes a fully accredited outpatient plastic surgical center,Water's Edge Surgery and Laser Center, located 40 miles north of Palm Beach in the quaint downtown historical district of Stuart, Florida. And this state-of-the-art facility is situated adjacent to a very special hotel: The Pavilion Resort. Dr. Cooper designed both The Pavilion and his surgical center to provide an unparalleled level of highly individualized care to guests from throughout the country and abroad.

But what makes The Pavilion Resort truly special is the fact that it was also designed to meet the needs of postoperative patients, offering a unique blend of round-the-clock personalized care with the kind of impeccable personal care and services associated with world class destination resorts. In fact, it may be the first such facility in the United States to provide this unique blend of first rate medical care, luxury accommodations, and refined skin and body care treatments in such close proximity to a plastic surgical facility.

Dr. Cooper built The Pavilion Resort to offer his patients who didn't want to return home immediately following plastic surgery with a safe alternative for postoperative recovery and relaxation and it has been successful from the start. Many of our patients opt to stay in The Pavilion for 1-7 days following their procedures and we make sure that they receive the finest personalized service around the clock during their stay with us. We are proud of what we've created here in this beautiful sunny Florida coastal atmosphere, and our patients tell us that their twice-daily contact with Dr. Cooper during the first days after plastic surgery is one of the benefits they most appreciate about The Pavilion.

Whether from the area or from far away, Dr. Cooper and all of us at Water's Edge strive to give our patients and guests the kind of individualized attention we think they deserve.

If you choose to consult with Dr. Cooper, you will find that it is our pleasure to offer you our ongoing assistance in preparing for your visit. We want your experience with us to be memorable and are proud that 95% of our patients are referred to us by their friends, co-workers, and family members.

Dr. Cooper's goal is to make sure that each of his patients receives both excellent medical care and an environment of relaxation and pleasure in which to spend the first days after surgery. To best serve our guests, we have created an online directory of places that may be of interest. We invite you to review our Directory of Special Places, which includes a listing of the finest hotels and restaurants in the area, along with information about our waterfront community's unique boutiques, antique stores, golf courses, charter boat excursions, and other special sights the area has to offer.

Between "before" and "after" is the process of undergoing plastic surgery and attaining your appearance goals. Dr. Robert Cooper has created a safe and beautiful place designed to make sure that you are comfortable throughout the plastic surgery process, not just afterward. That's why we pay special attention to the smallest details of your care. From the time our driver arrives at Palm Beach International Airport to greet you until the time you leave us, we encourage you to let us know how we can make your stay with us both comfortable and special.

We have one of the busiest solo practices in the country, and Dr. Cooper performs hundreds of facelifts each year, along with a range of other plastic surgery and advanced laser and liposuction procedures. Please take a few moments to let us to show you the vision he turned into what he believes is the future of physical enhancement medicine. It's not a clinic. It's not a hotel. And it's not a hospital. It's a patient-centered environment in a tropical locale, where one doctor and his staff of dedicated employees are dedicated to staying with you throughout the entire transformation journey.

So, we invite you to step inside and enjoy a leisurely tour through Water's Edge Surgery Center and The Pavilion Resort. And please feel free to stop at any point along the way to send us your questions or comments.

Welcome to the special care world of Dr. Robert Cooper. We're delighted that you've come to visit.
