Dr Coleman and her staff are wonderful. They take their time with your examination, answer all you questions and make you feel valued. I have been with them for 25+ years and now my kids and husband are patients of theirs too.

Dr. Colemn has been my Doctor for over 17 years and I find her a perfectionist in everything. How she treats, talks and relates to her patients. Also, she performed surgery on my eyelid for removal of a skin cancer and the results are excellent. My eye matches the other eye perfectly. She is the best.

I have been a patient of Dr Paula Coleman for 36 years and have had multiple procedures in office and hospital settings. Dr Coleman is a skilled surgeon and I have benifited greatly under her care. Compassion, empathy and friendlyness are a few words to describe Dr Coleman.

The office had apparently called to cancel my appointment, but I never received the message. Dr. Coleman happened to be in the office for an emergency, and agreed to see me. They could not have been more accommodating or kind. I truly appreciated their time and attention.
