Dr. Jillian Coolen

What a complete rockstar. I’ve never had a doctor that was both super knowledgeable and had such an amazingly kind and helpful bedside manner as well. I never thought bedside manner was important as long as I got the care I needed, but I guess I was wrong because she immediately puts me at ease just walking in the room because I am 100% confident all issues will be dealt with promptly and with the best possible resolution and followup. All that while wearing cute shoes… this woman is amazing. I am so grateful.

Very cheerful, kind, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. I wen through my first pregnancy at 39-40, not in perfect health. I would come in scared, prepared to hear more about to-dos, not-to-dos, watch-outs, etc. Thanks to her and her staff, I would walk out well-informed, confident, and happy. I felt like she was the best captain a ship-owner can dream of. She made sure I understand all my options and feel safe. I now have a perfectly healthy, happy baby. I am truly grateful to meet her and her crew!

I saw Dr. Coolen at the IWK perinatal clinic, as referred to by my Endocrinologist. I am not yet pregnant, but after many years of trying, hope to some day be. I live with mental illness and multiple endocrine issues which have affected my ability to get pregnant. Throughout the appointment with Dr. Coolen, she demonstrated a kind, empathetic, and cheerful bed side manner. She was easy to talk to, and gave honest feedback and practical recommendations. In particular she gave a thorough explanation of medication interactions and alternatives. She referred me to the AART at the end of our appointment, and I hope to one day have her as my OBGYN if I am fortunate enough to become pregnant. She is amazing.
