Dr. Sara M. Turner Cooper PA-C, PhD
Physician Assistant in Endocrinology and Metabolism

Sara enjoys the continuity of care, relationships with the patients, and involving patients in creating successful treatment plans. Her work ethic, enthusiasm, desire to help others, ability to learn and understand complex material, and dedication to patient education and care are an asset to our offices. The science and critical thinking aspects of endocrine care are also very appealing to her due to her science background. In addition to her experience in endocrinology, she previously completed a PhD from Purdue University and pursued a post-doctorate position at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. Her previous research focused on immunology and zoonotic diseases, with several peer reviewed publications.
