She is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Osteopathic Family Physicians, and the American Osteopathic Association.

Dr. Cooper’s offers a full range of family medicine services and became a family physician because she loves taking care people of all ages. Her special interests include diet and fitness, women and children, as well as management of chronic diseases and geriatric medicine. As an osteopathic physician, she has an additional set of skills to treat the patient as a whole, considering mind, body, and spirit when devising treatment plans. One particularly rewarding aspect of being an osteopathic family physician is the ability to treat pain without or with less medication.

She is married to Dr. Douglas Brtalik, an Emergency Physician, who is with the Northeast Tennessee Emergency Physician practice. In August 2019 they were blessed with an addition to their family, “Bailey Rose” a beautiful baby girl.  They enjoy backpacking, practicing yoga, and canoeing together and are excited to make Kingsport their permanent home. Dr. Cooper enjoys running as well and has two younger sisters who were both collegiate runners, which has helped her to be particularly attuned with running injuries.

She looks forward to building new relationships with patients and joining the ten other physicians at the downtown location of Mountain Region Family Medicine.
