Alan J Coleman, MD

I think it is wonderful that he is willing to make housecalls, but I would not recommend him to anyone with dementia, as he has a very limited understanding of pain management in patients with dementia.

I am new to the city so was in search of a primary care physician. Dr. Coleman looked like a good fit so I called his office.
The receptionist is a total disaster. My call was greeted with confusion to my question «I am new to the city and in search of a primary care physician is Dr. Coleman accepting new patients?» from the confusion came the answer can you call back in 5 minutes.
I called back and was then asked when I would like an appointment, to which I replied as soon as possible. Again confusion and redundant questions my favorite why as soon as possible?. I was offered next week and then told if I needed to see someone sooner go to he emergency room?
Why would a doctor employ someone so obstructive in patient care? My goal of finding a doctor I could see within 5 days of requesting an appointment is to continue but I was so upset by this receptionist attitude I wanted to warn fellow Unilocalers.
I will update when I find my answer.
Cheers

I have known Dr Coleman, and been in his care, for 35 years. He is an excellent diagnostician, a very thorough doctor providing personal, attentive care. I have never had an experience over these many years where he was not knowledgeable with the latest, most current medical findings and research. He is a kind, gentle, caring and smart doctor. He has taken exceptional care of me (and my mother) — for which we cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation.

This guy was thee worst excuse for a Dr. that I ever had. His receptionist Alla is the stupidest receptionist I have ever dealt with! She had a nasty attitude and she acted like she couldn’t handle her job. As for Alan, all of the Doctors he referred me to were complete assholes. I have a blood condition that he said didn’t exist because he never heard of it. He wrote in his notes that my back pain was «subjective» as if to say I was faking. I finally saw a real doctor who sent me for an MRI. The MRI revealed that I have 3 crushed discs and to fractured vertebrae. I couldn’t even get this douche bag to prescribe me to psychical therapy or pain pills because he didn’t agree with that. He told me I was young and should just deal with it. End the end, I gave the poor excuse for a person a piece of my mind and I reported his conduct to my HMO. do yourself a favor and NEVER see this idiot!!! He is a waste of time !!

Dr. Coleman has been my primary physician for many years. He is very knowledgeable, caring, down to business; yet, he gets to know you personally.
He does not over-​prescribe, encourages healthy lifestyle and diet. Overall, I’m very glad that he is my doctor!

Dr. Coleman only had about 30 minutes to see me for the first time since I had made a last minute appointment. Since it was my first visit he tried to get as much information as he possibly could and was very sincere and you could tell that he cared. He refered me to a skin specialist since i needed the referral and also referred me to a dentist. All I can say is that he was very thorough in my short visit and got all the necessary information. I have and still would recommend him to friends and family. If you’re looking for a doctor in the area, Dr. Coleman is great.

Dr. Coleman really stands behind patient care 100%. I was recently declined for additional life insurance coverage by Trustmark. This caused some concern for me, so I went ahead and got a second opinion. Dr. Coleman was outraged after learning that my labs came back healthy. He went out of his way to write to Trustmark explaining why there should have been NO reason for declining my life insurance. A few months later, Trustmark reversed their decision and I got my coverage! I am grateful their are doctors out there looking out for the patients best interest and not the corporations with the deep pockets.
Thanks Dr. Coleman!

Dr. Coleman is very thorough by asking me everything about my medical history each visit. He Reminds me of the physician my parents used to take me to who was a good doctor – they seem hard to find these days. He really seems to care about my health. He dosen’t over perscribe meds and didn’t keep me waiting in the office long.
