TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE.

Cooper Family Medical was founded in 2004 by Drs. Christopher and Catherine Cooper as a "mom and pop" type of family practice. Dr. Andrew Clark joined shortly thereafter and is board certified in family practice and sports medicine. The practice has grown to 14 providers and a full-time ultrasound tech and treats patients from birth through the senior years. We have one location on SR 64 in Bradenton and have started the building process on another full size practice off of 301 in north Manatee County to provide comprehensive medical care to all our new neighbors moving into the Parrish and the North River Area. We have been voted the Best Family Doctors in Manatee County by the People's Choice Awards for 12 consecutive years.

In addition to supporting his office, Dr. Cooper has also recently taken on a new role in teaching at Manatee Memorial Hospital. Dr. Cooper is currently teaching medical students, interns, and residents as a Core Faculty member for the Family Medicine program at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton, Florida. He is also the Director of Family Medicine for Inpatient Services. He has a passion for teaching and educating our future physicians and these roles align with his desire to prepare our next generation of Board-Certified Family Physicians for integration into our community as skilled providers. This task is crucial for our healthcare system and our local community as our area continues to grow. The primary goal of this residency program is to keep graduates local and integrate them into the local healthcare system as caretakers for current residents and support future growth in the community.
