Visiting Specialists

We have seen the strain on families as they travel to the valley for specialists so we have specialists from OHSU and Emanuel Children's Hospital come here regularly to our clinic in Bend should you need their services. COPA is known as the region's Premier Pediatric practice and we are honored with the trust, confidence and relationships our community has shared with us.
