Rome Health Pediatrics has welcomed Dr. Margaret Cooper to its practice at 1819 Black River Blvd. She is accepting new patients from newborn through adolescents.
Raised in Holland Patent, Dr. Cooper has been practicing in the Mohawk Valley for more than 11 years. Dr. Cooper is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. She earned her doctorate of osteopathic medicine at Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency in pediatrics at Cooper University Hospital, Camden, N.J., in 2012.
As the mother of five children, she can easily relate to the needs of parents and their children. “Our team of five pediatric specialists work together to support the health and wellbeing of your child through prevention, early detection and treatment of illnesses, injuries and other health conditions,” said Dr. Cooper.
“We encourage same-day visits for lacerations, injuries and sick visits. If your provider cannot see you the same-day, then one of our other providers can accommodate you,” she said. A provider is available 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and there is always a provider on-call after hours, on holidays and weekends for emergencies.
“We are a cohesive team and enjoy watching your children and families grow with our practice,” Dr. Cooper said.
Rome Health Pediatrics recently moved from the hospital’s main campus to a dedicated pediatric office at 1819 Black River Blvd. to better serve its pediatric patients. The new off-campus location will be easy for parents to navigate, especially those with babies or multiple children. Parking is conveniently located just outside the entrance.
For added convenience, parents can now use the patient portal to schedule appointments, in addition to requesting prescription refills. Learn more about the patient portal at romehealth.org.
All of the providers at Rome Health Pediatrics are accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, please call 338.7040. In most cases, same-day or next-day appointments are available.
