About

Dr. David Cope is a Family Medicine Physician practicing at Cope Family Medicine in Bountiful, Utah. Dr. Cope was born in Chicago and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He went on to earn his degree from Weber State College, with a meaningful two-year hiatus to serve an LDS mission in South Africa; he remains fluent in Afrikaans to this day.

Dr. Cope brings decades of broad, hands-on clinical experience to his practice. His professional interests span a wide range of procedures and patient populations, including vasectomies, women's health services such as colposcopies, LEEPs, and skin procedures, including cyst removals, lesion excisions, and mole evaluations. He also delivered babies for over 30 years, reflecting a deep and longstanding commitment to comprehensive family medicine.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Cope has dedicated more than 30 years to volunteering as a physician at Philmont Scout Ranch, complementing his lifelong involvement in Boy Scouting. When he's not caring for patients or giving back to the scouting community, you'll likely find him backpacking, camping, hiking, or skiing.
