“Hanging with Dr. Cooper”

A VIDEO PODCAST WHERE WE TALK HEART HEALTH, MINDFUL MEDICINE, AND OVERALL WELLNESS.

WELCOME!

I’m Dr. Cooper — but you can call me Coop!

I’m an experienced physician, surgeon, veteran, speaker, published author, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. I’ve spent the past three decades engaged in healthcare transformation, quality, outcomes, and consumer education – with a primary focus in cardiovascular health.

My book, “Heart Attack: Truth, Tragedy, Triumph”, outlines my own experiences with heart disease, both personal and professional – from my own early recollections of heart attacks in my community to the lives I devoted himself to on tour in Iraq and Afghanistan.
