I went to Duke med school with Leslie.  She was always so nice and kind.  She was helpful, unassuming, and supportive (some of our classmates were quite competitive!). I’m sure her patients loved her - she was clearly in medicine for the right reasons.  My condolences to her family and loved ones. I was so sad to hear of her passing.

Leslie was a  great and brilliant colleague.  A kind  doctor . She will be missed by both her patients and colleagues.
I am however sure  Leslie is up  in heaven singing with the angels.
To  Leslie's  loved ones 
may the good Lord comfort you. You will  miss her but please remember  she is in a much better place.

I’m so sorry to hear of Dr Cooper’s passing! She was my advisor when I was in residency training at the U of U. She provided a much needed listening ear and some sound advice to this overwhelmed young physician. You will be missed Leslie!

My deepest condolences to Leslie’s loved ones. She was my colleague at University of Utah for many years. I remember her for her skill at teaching and her support of other physicians. She had a special care for women entering the sports medicine field. I am sorry this vibrant woman has left us. She will be missed.

Darren, thoughts and prayers are with your and Leslie's families. While passing may take our loved ones from our sight, it cannot remove them from our hearts or our spirits. God bless.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Cooper’s passing. Of all the physicians I’ve had over the years, she was the only one who truly listened. She was the one who correctly diagnosed my conditions and guided me toward healthier choices. Thanks to her, I was able to stop taking medications I had been on for years, and I felt so much better as a result. But more than anything, Dr. Cooper genuinely cared—she celebrated my progress and always asked the right questions to get me talking. It was never just about prescribing medication and sending me on my way; she prioritized my well-being in every way. I can’t express how heartbroken I am knowing I won’t have the chance to see her again on earth, but I will in Heaven.

I will miss Dr Cooper greatly. I was one of her first Bodylogic patients. She helped me in so very many ways. She was my go to person for health questions as well as how to manage the care for our aging parents. She offered up all kinds of hacks/gizmos and gadgets which really helped  and names of people who she trusted in the health field for me. I feel like I have lost a friend as she was always such a great listener. I can't wait to see her in heaven one day. Prayers to her family during this difficult time.

We will greatly miss Dr. Leslie Cooper. She was an excellent caregiver. I was glad to have known her. What a brave soul, she will be missed!

Jean Belt and all your family;  I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. She leaves a remarkable  past for all to remember.  May she forever rest in peace. 🙏💐

To Dr Cooper’s Family and Loved Ones,

I was so sorry to hear of DrCooper’s passing. I was her patient for almost 10 years. During that time, under her care, she helped me regain health, served as a trusted advisor and offered smart insights I’ve applied to my life. Without a doubt, she improved my quality of life, significantly. 

In always looked forward to my appointments with her. I knew by the end of our visit I would be well cared for and edified. 

I knew her to be an amazing person, and I barely knew her. I can only imagine to those who knew her as Leslie, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, she was simply remarkable. 
I am sending my heartfelt love and support to those who adore her. 
Respectfully,
Collette Williams

I was so saddened to hear of Leslie's passing.  She was my doctor and I credit her with saving my life!  Such a caring person who truly listened.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  She will be missed by so many!!

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Cooper. Although I only had the chance to meet her in person once, our conversations over the phone left a lasting impression on me. She had such a warm spirit, and her kindness and wisdom shone through in every interaction.

Dr. Cooper's presence was truly special, and I will always cherish the moments we shared. Her generosity, insight, and warmth touched my heart, and I know she left an indelible mark on so many others as well.

Please know that my heart and thoughts are with her and with everyone who loved her during this difficult time. She will always remain in my heart and memories.

With my deepest condolences,

Hello My Name is Holly Fiefia I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Leslie ( respectively) about 8 years ago seeking help regarding menopause issues. Her care and compassion regarding my health issues was beyond Amazing! I have never meet a Doctor like Leslie. As time went on we became friends, and I gave her the nick name Slim & Trim (LOL) she always laughed every time I would say this her. My last Doctor visit with Dr Leslie was on January 23rd 2025. I am so glad I has the opportunity to speak with her she always asked how I was doing and then she would take the time to listen. I WILL MISS HER GREATLY a genuine DIAMOND. I thank The Lord God Almighty that our paths crossed. Psalm 23. In Sympathy.

We are so sorry to hear of the news of Dr. Cooper's passing.  My husband and I were  just patients of hers but she was always so caring and took the time to really talk through things.  She felt more like a friend than a doctor.  She helped both of us so much over the years.  We're saddened to know that we never knew she was struggling with a cancer diagnosis.  She talked about her husband a lot and what great man he is.  Much love to her family and friends!  Kim and Shawn

I’m so sorry for your loss and pray that you find peace and comfort. 
Dr Cooper has been my doctor for many years and I appreciate her kindness, dedication and insight. She always gave me 100% of her attention and I will greatly miss her. 
Sincerely,
Vickie Christensen

Dr Leslie Cooper… my heart is broken. I got the “letter” in the mail after “feeling it” for a few weeks. I regret not sending her a letter & flowers. 
I’ve been her patient since 2018. And to me, she was my Only Lady friend. I truly love her and always felt cared about by her. She would give so much of her heart friendship & personal time. I referred clients to her telling them that Dr Cooper will help you feel your best & the best part, she will also be a friend. 
I’m grieved to have noticed her suddenly frail and walking slowly in the parking lot. I know she has been sick because she was doing our appointments over the phone. I sensed she was hiding her illness. I told her I knew & I prayed for her. I really thought she’d be healed.  
We enjoyed our visits in her office. I am deeply grieved that I could not “Be There” for her, when she had been here for me. I did tell her on the phone that I know she’s not feeling well. I prayed for her. I truly thought she would be spared. I wanted to honor her privacy. 
She was insightful & protective. She could sense deeper and know the best way….but right now I’m grieved. Because she should have never been sick. Not her. Not her. 
Her kindness, caring & counsel assisted me in healthier life changes and better relationship. I’d say she saved my life the day she said “looking at the results & hearing about your life. The  relationship seems to be killing you”. She was right. I was encouraged and broke off the unhealthy relationship. Later my health bounced back & results came back improved. 
Over the COVID years I loved going in to see her, visit with her & get my treatments. 
I had wished we could be friends.i guess that will have to wait until I am with Jesus,  where she is now. I grieve she had suffered. I grieve my own loss-One Good Person on this earth- now in Heaven. 
Bless all your hearts. As how can any other doctor be better..None. She was One More Good Person. Okay I’m going to cry some more in a selfish way.

Dr. Cooper was an amazing person and practitioner. Working with her to establishing her patients and interacting with Dr. Cooper was a true pleasure. Dr. Cooper was highly sought after because of her knowledge as well as her compassion for her patients she will be missed. As a part of her BodyLogicMD family we send our prayers of strength and comfort to the family in their time of grieving. Sabriena Felix

Leslie was a great colleague. We worked together at the University of Utah, and she was huge asset to our program in her time here helping to direct our sports medicine training for our family medicine residents. She also taught me a number of exam skills on the fly-- she was always so willing to stop what she was doing and come into an exam room with me to help with whatever sports medicine question I had... She has left this earth all too soon, and will be greatly missed.

She was one of my physicians and I trusted her completely. As a Registered Nurse, she would talk to me as a professional colleague, not an uninformed patient. I respected her and truly loved her. No one can replace her in my life. I offer my heartfelt love and pray for God’s comfort and peace to cover her family. What a tremendous loss to the medical world.

Dr.Cooper (Leslie) was my Dr. for many years. I was scheduled to see her on February 12th. I had prepared my list of questions to ask her. I trusted her expertise, opinion and thoughtful manner in which she guided me through some health challenges. She had become a good friend to me. My condolences to her family. She will be missed.

Leslie was a loving, supportive, and sensitive daughter-in-law for many years. We remember her joy when she showed us her new medical office in Indianapolis after she had worked so hard to get through Duke Medical School. She went on to be a wonderfully empathic doctor. Janice and Don
