About Me
I am a gynecologic oncologist specializing in ovarian, uterine, endometrial, cervical and other female cancers. I received my medical training from the University of Western Ontario and completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at McMaster University. I’ve been named to Woodward White Inc.’s "Best Doctors in America" list since 1992 and was rated in the top 10 percent of physicians in the nation for patient satisfaction in 2016. I was also named to the Castle Connolly list of “America's Top Doctors” from 2000-2019.
I am a member of the Translational Therapeutics Program at the OSUCCC – James and have served in leadership roles in several national organizations, including the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society. From 2017 to 2023, I served as president of the GOG Foundation, a group who leads clinical research in patients with gynecological cancers in the United States and networks with global partners. I also hold the William Greenville Pace III and Joann Norris Collins-Pace Chair for Cancer Research.
At the OSUCCC – James, I strive to provide my patients with state-of-the-art treatment. With the cutting-edge technology and research facilities available at The James, I feel I can give them the best individualized care possible. I am proud to be working towards a cancer-free world.

Dr Copeland was concerned and thoughtful. He said he Is aggressive and we think that is a good trait for a cancer doctor.
The nurses,staff,and doctors are amazing and so polite. They explained everything to me so I wasn't or didn't have any reason to be as scared as I was.
I was so happy I could see Dr Copeland again
