Dr. Cooper attended the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, one of only five accredited colleges in North America that educate and train naturopathic doctors in a four-year graduate-school program. He was awarded the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree, and is licensed to practice in the state of Connecticut.

Unique Approach
Naturopathic medicine is a distinctive approach to health and healing that stimulates and supports the mind and body’s natural ability to maintain and restore health. The success of the naturopathic system is based on the recognition of the uniqueness of each individual and the integrity of the whole person. Dr. Cooper's approach to treatment derives from the belief that, just as no two people look exactly alike, none of us has exactly the same set of genes or will react in exactly the same way to our environment. Therefore, his first step is a thorough understanding of a patient’s medical history, lifestyle and environment.

Dr. Cooper treats patients with a combination of botanical medicine, acupuncture, nutrition, lifestyle modification, dietary supplements, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulation and counseling, combining therapies and varying each treatment to reflect the patient’s uniqueness.

Dr. Cooper’s extensive training has prepared him to treat a full range of diseases and disorders. His practice offers counseling on wellness and preventive medicine, and treatment for asthma and allergies, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease, gastrointestinal disturbances, osteoporosis, and co-treatment of cancer with supportive therapies.

Additionally, Dr. Cooper offers special approaches to women’s health needs, childhood chronic illnesses, learning and behavioral disorders, stress management, fertility, and musculo-skeletal disorders, including the treatment of chronic pain.

Natural Health and Wellness provides access to complete naturopathic care, but Dr. Cooper will also work with traditional healthcare practitioners to provide co-treatment to patients who are already under care.
