Testimonials

I am a retired dentist who happens to be a patient who has a condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I became aware of this condition over 15 years ago. For many years I treated myself with an appliance that I could make for myself. This appliance was in a fixed position and often did not work correctly. In 2006, right before I retired from my practice I sought medical treatment for this condition. After completing the diagnostic steps, the sleep medicine doctors prescribed a CPAP machine. Because I have studied this problem and am familiar with various treatment methods, I was not surprised, but I was disappointed in having to use the CPAP machine.

After receiving my machine, I began to use it. Surprisingly, I did adapt to it. In fact I think that using the machine actually altered my sleep patterns. Because of my age, I had to go onto Medicare. Medicare required a different kind of sleep study. In order to get follow up care, I did this other kind of sleep study. It showed that my condition was not as severe as the first sleep study had shown. As a result, Medicare would not cover any follow-up care.

I mentioned this problem to Dr. Coleman. He suggested that I get a Somnodent appliance. Since I was already aware of the benefits of this appliance, I went forward with treatment.

I have been using the Somnodent for over a month now. I can report that I am sleeping much more soundly and my wife doesn’t have to put up with the noise of the CPAP machine. It is a joy to go to sleep at night and not have a hose and mask to contend with. The Somnodent appliance is comfortable and holds my lower jaw in a position that prevents obstruction of my airway.

The appliance is easy to care for and I am enjoying using it. I would recommend this appliance to anyone who snores. Snoring is not a normal part of sleep. A person who snores is actually going to be sleep deprived because the quality of sleep is poor. The condition can be life threatening and at very least prevents a person’s body from doing the proper maintenance functions that is the reason that sleep is necessary.

I had smile issues and per chance saw Dr. Coleman on Channel 6. He stated, "There is no dental problem that can't be fixed." I carried his information in my purse for a few months and finally called his office. I was greeted with a warm reception over the phone and an invitation to come in for a consultation. I came in and was treated like a human. I have been to many DHMO providers and going to the dentist was always a nightmare for me. In addition, I couldn't find anyone to fix my issue. 
 
What struck me initially was the interpersonal interaction from the receptionist to Dr. Coleman. I received a consultation and decided to let Dr. Coleman fix me. His hygienist, receptionist and he were there with me through the process of transformation which took seven months. They gave me hot towels, water, tea, coffee,Advil, and affectionate pats when I became stressed anticipating treatment. They let me cry and gave me hugs; I was a very nervous patient at first.  I have a beautiful smile because of Dr. Coleman.
 
After Dr. Coleman fixed me I went to a family gathering with my new smile and one of my husband's cousins, who is a dentist, noticed the change and did a full exam of my mouth and said, "He did a great job!"

One day I had a really bad toothache and I attempted to call the dentist assigned to my dental plan.  I called and left a voicemail message expecting a call back the same day.  I finally got a call back - "two days" later.  I said if that's how you treat a patient in pain - no thanks. I remembered seeing Dr. Coleman on Ch. 6 morning news earlier that day, I liked his compassion in talking about his work and his patients, so I decided to call his office.  A very nice receptionist answered and I got an appointment that same day.  After an examination, Dr. Coleman immediately found the problem, and relieved the pain.

Mostly out of fear, I had not been to the dentist for quite a while, but Dr. Coleman was so caring and reassuring so I decided to make him my regular dentist. I've been extremely happy with his work and his caring staff ever since.  I would highly recommend Dr. Coleman if you're looking for the perfect dentist who truly cares about you and your smile. In fact I no longer fear going to the dentist!

I had the opportunity to visit the Colman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry after not seeing a dentist for over 10 years. Dr. Coleman's waiting room & staff set the tone, with a professionally comfortable atmosphere, and I immediately felt at ease. During my consultation, Paul expertly walked me through every step & supplied a wealth of information to ensure my understanding of the process. With up-to-date equipment, and the most comfortable dentist chair I've ever laid in, Dr. Coleman gave me sound dental advice & sculpted a plan to get my "dental train" back on track. So, if you're looking for a consummate professional, with over 30 years of experience and a wonderfully dedicated staff, contact Dr. Coleman and change the perspective of your next trip to the dentist.

Paul Coleman has a heart of gold! He was an angel that helped me when I brought one of my youth students in to him who had been beaten up because of a gang initiation and had disfigured his gums and lost some permanent teeth. Paul and his team put my student's smile back together and restored his confidence. Paul provided his service pro bono and our church picked up the lab bill. Usually when something is at no charge, you may wonder about the quality and professionalism, but there is no need to worry with Paul and his team. We got the same excellent care as everyone else and the doc made a teenage boy feel comfortable with stories of football and jokes. Paul is personable, professional and delivers excellent quality. Above that he gets the bigger picture of providing a service and never forgets to be a servant to others. Thanks Paul for making a difference!

I had the pleasure to visit Dr. Coleman's office and he demonstrated with me the power of having good teeth support. He laid a pencil between my teeth and it increased my flexibility and strength. He also showed me the miraculous transformations he has completed on troubled smiles. Dr. Coleman really takes the time to educate and give options to his patients. If your smile is not becoming of you. You need to be coming to him.

When it comes to my dental needs I have always known that I need look no further than the Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry for quality of care and an always pleasant experience with every member of the center's supporting team.

Before I found Dr. Coleman I had tried numerous other dentists which were approved by my particular dental plan.  In each case, it was not long before I found that the quality of their work and the environment of their offices in general were not up to a standard that I felt comfortable with.  All too often I needed to scrutinize their bills only to find charges that were inflated and ultimately could not find a pleasant and cooperative voice at the other end of the phone when needing to clarify billing.

With Dr. Coleman I find a consistent and pleasant quality of care that is most reassuring when care is required.  Dr. Coleman strives to be current in regard to the latest advances in dentistry.  From the moment that I call to speak with Sally, Office Manager extraordinaire, I know that I will obtain an appointment to suit my busy schedule and a conscientiously professional continuum of care. 

Shawn's skilled and dedicated care as Dental Hygienist is the best I have ever encountered and it is a pleasure to meet with her for my appointments.  And as fate may have it, over these many years of being Dr. Coleman's patient, at times an emergency situation may arise (even on a holiday) and I was never made to feel that my call was a burden. My pain management was always seen as a priority that was not pushed to the next available appointment days or even weeks ahead, which had happened to me when I had been assigned to previous dentists.

I am confident with the dental team that I have chosen and know that I am receiving a quality of care and professionalism that assures I will be a patient of the Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry for years to come.

Dr. Paul Coleman gave me a great gift, a beautiful smile. My need for a smile makeover became very apparent to me when I saw myself on TV doing my financial segments on Fox 6 as their financial and tax expert. I love to smile and laugh and doing so on TV highlighted my crocked and discolored teeth. After consulting with Dr. Coleman about what needed to be done to give me my smile back, it was a no brainer. I had to have him do his magic. After having the work done on my teeth, it was immediately noticeable by all my family, friends and clients. The compliments were overwhelming. Without a doubt it was the best personal investment I could have ever made and coming from a 30 years investment professional, like myself, that’s saying something. Thank you, Dr. Coleman for enhancing and improving the rest of my life.

I found Dr. Coleman by accident while channel surfing news channels one morning. I had been carrying around names of cosmetic dentists for months around in my purse because I really needed a lot of work done but couldn’t bring myself to make an appointment. I knew Dr. Coleman was going to be “my Dentist” when he told the interviewer that “Nothing is impossible”. I called his office that afternoon and got such a warm and encouraging reception from Sally, I made an appointment on the spot and kept it.

Dr. Coleman and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I have always been wary and fearful of the dentist but after my experience with Dr. Coleman and his staff, I love going to the dentist now. Because of Dr. Coleman, I have a beautiful smile. Because of Shana, I have a healthy smile.

I carry his cards around and give them to complete strangers who compliment me on my smile.

Lisa D'Orazio, San Diego CA


I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the "magic" you performed. After many, many years of neglect on my part and less than superior care from the dentist's that I visited, I now have a smile that I can be proud of.

Being in a profession that appearance and first impressions play a big part in opening doors, I felt that my teeth and smile did not convey the person that I am. I even received comments from others about not ever laughing or smiling. Now that I have my new "smile," I feel as though people can see the real me. Whether it was the fact that my teeth were unusually small and yet crowded, or just being self conscious, I found that I just didn't smile much. You were able to correct my problems all the way down to gum and bone issues, and give me a wonderful and natural appearance.

From beginning to end, your entire staff was not only extremely professional, they made the total experience go much easier than I ever anticipated possible. You were able to accommodate my hectic work schedule thus making the entire process go that much quicker. Being a professional business owner, I noticed so many different attributes of your staff, office, and process that made me realize that I was in the best of care.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to share with others the outstanding experience and marvelous results of the care I received from you and your staff.
