Since relocating in early 2019 to GCVS, Dr. Coleman has happily worked as a surgeon and enjoys orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, MIS, and any procedure involving exotics, which has led to her position as liaison to the Houston Zoo. Her textbook, Techniques in Small Animal Soft Tissue, Orthopedic, and Ophthalmic Surgery, which was created in collaboration with over 30 other specialists, was published electronically in the Summer of 2024 and printed in the Fall of 2024. In her spare time, she loves traveling, especially when it involves teaching about or performing surgery, running, and spending time with her 3 cats and tiny brown dog.
