"Having that extra time with patients is so important to me"
Dr. Whitney Coleman
As an intern at Eye Associates, Dr. Coleman loved the family-like atmosphere that Eye Associates created for their patients. The vast knowledge of the staff allows the practice to flow smoothly, which gives the doctors the opportunity to truly get to know each patient on a personal level. “Having that extra time with patients is so important to me because it provides me the opportunity to do two of my favorite things: develop relationships with my patients and to educate patients about their visual needs and eye health.”
