I was born and raised in Quincy, Ma where I graduated from North Quincy High School. For my undergraduate degree, I attended Brown University and received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. I attended the University of Massachusetts Medical School and did my residency at Tufts Floating Hospital for Children. I have been here at East Milton Pediatrics for over 20 years now and can’t imagine working any place else!

I live in Milton with my husband and our busy little dog. My 2 stepdaughters live nearby with their families, including our 6 adorable grandchildren.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband, baking and playing with our little dog. I also love spending time on Cape Cod with the whole family!

Dr. Caitlin Mangiardi

I was born and raised as the rose between two thorns (my brothers) on Cape Cod. I graduated from Sandwich High School and headed off to the College of the Holy Cross for my undergraduate. There I was in the premed program and majored in Biology.

I spent 5 years after graduation building up my clinical and research experience at Boston Children's Hospital. I then attended University of New England for Medical School and upon graduation, moved to New Jersey for my Pediatric Residency at Robert Wood Johnson. I have been blessed with my job at East Milton Pediatrics since 2017 and I am so honored to work with such amazing people in such an outstanding community.

I now live just south of the city with my husband and 3 children. We have family and friends who we spend a lot of time gathering with all around the state of Ma and also in PA, NH, MI and Fl.

My job allows for a really wonderful work life balance, for which I am so grateful. The hobbies I foster during these times are reading, painting, spending time with family and friends, relaxing at the beach, cookouts. I enjoy sitcoms and am a fan of all things musical including karaoke and dance parties. I enjoy organizing and tidying. Mostly I love smothering my children with hugs and kisses!.

Dr. Sarah Cooper

I grew up in a small seaside community of Winthrop, MA and attended high school in the back bay at The Newman School. After leaving the area to study at Connecticut College and Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in New York, I was excited to return to Massachusetts for my pediatric residency at UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center in Worcester.

I love being a part of such a wonderful team of providers here at East Milton Pediatrics. My passion in pediatrics has always been primary care, and I strive to develop longstanding relationships with families and support children throughout their growth and development.

Outside of work, I enjoy family time with my husband and two young daughters, whether we’re walking along the oceanfront in our town, exploring Boston, or traveling further afield.

I attended UMass Chan Medical School and stayed at UMass to complete my residency in Pediatrics at the UMass Children's Medical Center.

I love working in primary care Pediatrics and partnering with parents to support their child's growth and development. I also have an interest in animal-assisted therapy and its role in health care. In medical school, I helped start an animal-assisted therapy program at UMass for our Pediatric patients.

I live on the South Shore with my husband and two children. I enjoy going to the beach, walks, spending time with family and yoga.

Deirdre Driscoll PA-C

For my undergraduate degree, I attended the College of the Holy Cross and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in Gerontology. After working for 5 years in administrative health care, I returned to school. I attended Northeastern University and received a Physician Assistant degree and a Masters Degree in Health Professions.

I was born and raised in Milton, Ma. My father was a Pediatrician so I was exposed to medicine from an early age. My oldest brother is also a physician. He and my father inspired me to go into medicine. Working as a Physician Assistant has allowed me to have the flexibility to attain my career goals and be a mom to 4 wonderful children.

Outside of work, I enjoy biking, skiing, hiking and yoga. In the past few years, I have trained for and participated in the Pan Mass Challenge. I also love to travel and take family vacations.

Although my background is mostly in Emergency Medicine, I am honored to be working at East Milton Pediatrics with these top notch physicians. I feel my career has come full circle as I am now working at the practice that my father started!
