Specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Dr. Copper Newman is a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Galen. From a young age, Dr. Newman was drawn to medicine and dentistry, and during nursing school, she developed a specific passion for women’s health. Spurred on by her mother who worked as a nurse, Dr. Newman also pursued a bachelor’s degree in nursing, but ultimately decided to continue studying to become a physician.
“The first time I saw a baby come into this world, I knew that I wanted to work in the field of medicine forever,” she said.
During her time in medical school at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, Dr. Newman was drawn to multiple areas of medicine, but felt certain her calling was in the field of women’s health. She has been in practice for 15 years, all of which have been spent as a part of the incredible team at Galen.
Dr. Newman’s care philosophy is founded in meeting women exactly where they are. Each patient is different, with a unique story. In her role as OBGYN, Dr. Newman first seeks to understand each patient and her goals so they can then set to work achieving them together. Though she enjoys every aspect of her position, she harbors a particular appreciation for the honor of delivering babies.
When away from the office, Dr. Newman loves spending time with Wade, her husband of 22 years, and her two children, Hannah Kate and Jackson. She enjoys reading fiction and studying the Bible, and her ideal day off would involve time spent at the beach with family and friends.
