Colleen Coleman, MD's Online Review Report Card

I went to Dr Coleman for a second opinion regarding breast cancer. She spent an hour with me explaining in detail about the procedure and potential results and treatment. This was after my first consultation which was less than fifteen minutes! She also calls to talk to you before and after surgery. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful, caring doctor she is! If I could give her ten stars, I would.

Dr. Coleman is an incredible doctor. She is a true profesional. She has a lot of patience and takes her time to explain what she’s doing. I had many doubts going into surgery and she was very respectful about my concerns and took the time to talk to me and help me understand my surgery. I highly recommend her to everyone because her work was phenomenal. Even after my surgery she checked up on me multiple times. Anyone under her care is in the best hands out there.

Dr. Coleman sat down next to me and explained everything, from blood results through surgical procedure. She took the time to make sure I understood and pushed through necessary orders so my procedure could be schedule right after my appointment. Her staff was friendly, helpful, and I did not feel rushed.

Dr. Coleman is a wonderful surgeon. She performed emergency surgery on my son. She was thoughtful, provided great detail about the procedure, and very happy with the outcome of surgery.

The assistant who makes appointments for this doctor reviews your results talks about your results and never lets you make an appointment.

I am so grateful to have found such a gifted and professional surgeon on duty at Hoag Irvine when I required emergency surgery. Dr Coleman not put me at ease by explaining in depth the treatment I required, she answered all of my questions and performed a flawless surgery with the best possible results. I will be forever thankful for her amazing care.

After 2 big surgery in 2 years apart, I can tell you if doctor Coleman accepted your operation do not even think to go with someone else she is the best surgeon.

I had an appointment with Dr. Coleman this morning at 10:15 am. I arrived early and filled out her paperwork. I went into an examination room where they took my information and told me that the doctor would be in shortly. I thereafter waited until 11:30 am, more than one hour after my appointment without anyone coming into the room to check up on me or to advise me that the doctor was delayed for some reason. I had to leave because I had an appointment with one of my clients at 12:00 p.m. and I did not want to be late. When I decided to leave, I complained about the service and one of her medical assistants told me "she is a surgeon" as if that somehow should placate me. I do not believe that a patient should be treated like this. Dr. Coleman came highly recommended so I was looking forward to having her perform surgery on my Gallbladder. I waited ten days to get an appointment. She wasted my time.

Great bedside manner. Very honest and thorough surgeon.

Dr. Coleman performed emergency surgery for my son on Oct. 20, 2020, late Friday into early Saturday morning and called me with results at 1:32AM.  Surgery went very well, Dr. Coleman provided great care, details to me about the surgery, and managed his postop care. Wonderful doctor and surgeon.

Dr. Colleen Coleman was recommended by three friends independent from one another (including two doctors whom we know) to tackle my wifes bilateral neck dissection for metastisiced thyroid cancer. We were absolutely terrified at first, but knew we were in good hands. Dr. Coleman spends the necessary time with her patients and often has to deliver difficult news, so there can be a wait. Must surgeons would just rush you through. Getting through this surgery was of course emotionally and physically demanding, so this was important. The surgery went smoothly. Dr. Coleman set us up with an oncologist and endocrinologist whom are also each at the top of their game. Nine months postoperation, my wifes cancer is under control due to Dr. Colemans followups. Highdose radiation took care of the thyroid cancer in her lungs, which is showing no signs of recurring, and the slim surgical scar across her neck is fading fast. Dr Colemans skill is evident in how faint the scar is and continues
