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 love the Somnodent.  It takes no time at all to adjust to it and it works!  It does not restrict how you lie in bed or cause you to wake you up when you turn over.  It's simple to clean.  It makes no noise.  It takes up virtually no room in the suitcase and hardly weighs anything both of which are important when flying.  I highly recommend it. Thank You Dr. Coleman!

As always, Lorissa & Dr. Coleman greeted us and made our experience a delight. Dental appointments can be very stressful, but not at Dr. Coleman's office! Everyone is exceptionally nice, knowledgeable and attentive to every need. Thank You for always making my appointments stress free and down right relaxing. I always smile a little brighter when I leave the office.

I ALWAYS feel comfortable and well taken care of during my visits. Dr. Coleman, Lorissa & Kayla all greeted me warmly and my latest hygiene appointment with Kayla was pleasant and thorough, as usual. I am very satisfied with the practice and have been a client/patient of Dr. Coleman's for over 20 Years. Gosh... how come he hasn't aged like I have?!?!?!

The entire team was great as always. None of you can retire or move away until after I assume room temperature.
Joe Devlin, Patient


I actually look forward to my visits at Dr. Coleman's office because I am able to enjoy visiting with Kayla while she is cleaning my teeth. We always get a few good laughs during my hour appt. time, which makes the appointment go by very quickly. Then before I leave Dr. Coleman always comes in and says hello which is great because I have been seeing him for over 20 years and we catch up on our families lives. Even on the rare occasion that he has to give me some unpleasant news, he always handles it in a cheerful and pleasant manner, which I always appreciate.I have to say that it is really nice to feel like I'm going to see friends instead of dreading a visit with my dentist.

I have been seeing Dr Coleman for many years and I have always been treated with respect. Dr Coleman and his staff have always been very attentive to my needs. I wouldn't change anything. Dr Coleman's front office always looks clean and inviting to those who are there for the first time. Thank you for being so special.
