WHAT OUR PARENTS ARE SAYING: (Google Reviews)

“We absolutely love Dr. Ellen Cooper! From the very first visit, she has made us feel comfortable, heard, and truly cared for. She is incredibly personable and takes the time to really listen to our questions and concerns. We never feel rushed during appointments — she listens attentively to all of our questions and concerns and explains everything in a way that makes us feel confident and reassured, especially as first time parents.

It’s such a relief to have a doctor who is not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate and patient with us and our son. We couldn’t recommend Dr. Ellen more & are truly so grateful to have her as our pediatrician!”

"I absolutely love FWPeds! From the providers that rounded on our baby in the hospital to her pediatrician Dr. Ellen Cooper and the office staff, everyone has been wonderful, friendly and professional."

"We had the pleasure of having Dr Cooper for our 3 girls while she was a provider in Portland, Oregon and I have yet to find some one to replace her that has the level of care she provided. She is very family oriented and makes an effort to know everything about her patients. She was a huge part of our family while taking care of our babies!"
