CHARACTER BIO

Dr. Cooper Freedman is a board-certified pediatrician and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. A dedicated, effective physician, Dr. Freedman is a whiz with all things adolescent. He prides himself on making his patients laugh. He is also—quite simply—enthralled with modern technology—namely, the Internet. It’s no surprise then, that Dr. Freedman likes to surf the web during whatever little downtime he gets.
