Our UCI Health team is led by Dr. Dan Cooper, who is a board-certified and fellowship-trained pediatric pulmonologist with years of experience delivering patient-centered care to Orange County children and their families.

Advanced care

We provide comprehensive pulmonary function testing and exercise/fitness testing. We also use the most advanced technology, including bronchoscopes, to examine the inside of the respiratory tract.

Coordinated care

We emphasize close consultation with family members as well as good communication with the child’s primary care pediatrician.

To ensure that your child receives comprehensive care, we work closely with other specialists as needed, including radiologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, neurologists, developmental pediatricians and pediatric cardiologists as needed.

We also collaborate with registered pediatric dietitians, occupational and physical therapists, social workers and case managers.

We believe an important part of caring for a child's health is to help address any needs the child and family may have for additional community resources or services.

Advancing child health

In addition, our pediatric pulmonologists are affiliated with the UCI Health Pediatric Exercise and Genomics Research Center (PERC), which is dedicated to research and physician training in order to improve the health of children, including those with asthma, cystic fibrosis and other serious health challenges.

Our pediatric pulmonology team has extensive experience in treating the following conditions:

Our providers are engaged in the community through collaborations with the American Academy of Pediatrics-Orange County Chapter, the American Lung Association and Orange County schools and nurses.
