Dr. Wendy Warwar is a new member of our office staff. She is recently returning to practice to work part-time as a pediatrician and pursue her passion to provide medical care to children. She had been a member of the medical community for 14 years prior to taking time off to raise her two boys and enjoy being a mom.

Dr. Warwar has lived in Ventura County for the past 26 years with her husband, Robert Warwar MD and has two teenage boys. She met her husband in medical school in New Orleans and then moved to Ventura in order for her husband to join his father as a Family Practitioner. She has enjoyed being an active member in the community through her sons’ schools and youth camps. She enjoys time spent with her family – spending time outdoors camping, boating or walking on the beach.

Lifelong Ventura county resident, and mother of two boys and grandmother of a boy and a girl, I joined Dr. Coppa's amazing team in March of 2014. As a Certified Pediatric Medical Assistant for 23 years, I have a passion for serving the healthcare needs of children and their families.

My position will be overseeing office protocols and billing as well as back up for front and back office. I particularly enjoy the family feel this office offers and look forward to coming to work everyday.
