Brian Coleman's Online Review Report Card

Well first trying to open the door to their office was challenging to say the least. I’m coming in alone with a fractured kneecap and crutches and trying to open that door was impossible. When you’re able to balance yourself with a foot in the door, everyone in the waiting room sits there and looks at you with no help. The girls at the front desk were fantastic but told me he was running 45 minutes behind. I waited approx 75 minutes then was taken back. Everyone in the back was extremely kind to me. The doctor came in and saw me for about 2 minutes and that was it. He knew I was in excruciating pain and said I will call you in something for the pain. Nothing was called in that day. After crying all night again in pain I prayed I’d receive the med the next day. I’ve called 4 times today and the staff has left urgent messages to help but still no help. So I sit again an hour before they close and not even the supervisor has called me back. Looks like another night of crying in pain.

Highly disorganized and false information to patients

First, the doors to office were hard to open since I am on crutches. Lordes, the front office person, came to help me, thankfully. Staff, very friendly. Doctor was nice, seemed knowledgeable. Waited over an hour on a hard table to see him.

I am all too familiar with foot and ankle problems having aggressively participated in numerous sports and athletics for my entire life. Having lived in NYC, I was fortunate to have a team of specialists that enabled me to continue my active lifestyle. When I began experiencing intense pain on my left metatarsal, I was concerned that I would not be able to find the level of care I had come to reply upon. The first doctor that examined my foot turned out to justify those concerns. The pain was diagnosed as a sprain and I was told to wear a Cam Walker Boot for 6 weeks. The 6 weeks passed and I was in more pain than when I started. I contacted my Orthopedic Surgeon in NY, sent him copies of my MRI and asked for advice. He replied, if you’re not coming to NY to see me, the only other person to see is Dr. Brian Coleman. At my first appointment, after explaining the source of my pain, showing the inflamed areas on the MRI and explaining why surgery was the only solution. It was immediately clear that based upon the tone of the conversation, his bedside manner, and the willingness to answer a very long list of questions, I scheduled the surgery at that very first visit. That happened in December, 2021 and due to my life-long athletics and arthritis, I have become a “regular” at Dr. Coleman’s office. I required 2 additional surgeries and because of my trust and respect for his compassion as well as being a recognized world class surgeon, I didn’t need a second opinion. I consider myself very lucky to be in his care.

Dr. Brian Coleman is without a doubt the most compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough physician I have ever had care for my medical needs. He discusses my condition in layman’s terms and thoroughly explained the X-rays. Before seeing Dr. Coleman I was unable to walk unassisted. Following surgery I am now totally independent and ambulate unassisted. Dr. Coleman is truly a remarkable person who I trust implicitly and recommend highly and without reservation. Thank you, Dr. Coleman, for giving me my independence after years of suffering.

I saw Dr. Coleman as a second opinion. However, as soon as Dr. Coleman examined my foot, I knew that he was the right surgeon for my condition. He made me feel at ease when he thoroughly explained what was to happen during surgery and what to expect during the recovery time. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. The surgery was a great success! Not only is Dr. Coleman a phenomenal orthopedic foot surgeon, his staff is also friendly and caring and his physical therapy department is outstanding. I can’t thank everyone enough!

I went to Dr. Coleman after I reviewed his excellent references. I had broken my fifth metatarsal very severely. From the moment, Dr. Coleman stepped into the examination room, I knew I had the right doctor. Dr. Coleman performed ORIF surgery later that week, and not once in the last two weeks, have I had ANY pain or discomfort. Dr. Coleman was informative, thoughtful and made this experience for me everything a fine doctor could do. He is truly an Orthopedic who should be at the VERY VERY top of your list if you should ever require. I personally rate him above the stars provided! I found all his office staff very accommodating and approachable.

A family member did recommend Dr. Coleman. Greatest piece of advice I have ever received from anyone. Dr Coleman is Phenomenal. He is the ultimate Professional. He is extremely concerned about my welfare, did not rush exams or explanations and was extremely patient with me. He performed my surgery today. His office staff that I met is also outstanding. Thank you Dr Coleman and Staff for your Class Act and Treatment. Steve Meyerson

Really liked Dr. Coleman. I sought him out for a second opinion regarding a foot injury (identified by a Podiatrist). That doctor was recommending stem cell injections (not covered by insurance) after only 2 weeks of immobilization which I didn't think was reasonable. So I sought the opinion of a Foot Orthopedist and found Dr. Coleman to be much more conservative in my treatment plan and thorough in explaining my issues. I prefer him over my podiatrist and will see him for future foot care.

Dr Coleman is wonderful! I had a heal condition, which had been unsuccessfully treated by another dr. I was in severe agonizing pain for a year and a half and had received two cortisone shots , which did not help me. Dr Coleman diagnosed me, set out a plan of treatment, and within a week I am pain free. He is professional, knowledgeable, has patience and answered my questions. He and his staff have were great.
