Dr. Jacob Coleman, MD

On 4/28/2020, I had a virtual visit with Dr. Jacob Coleman. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy between year 2000-2005. My medical records for the diagnosis have been lost or destroyed. I explained this to Dr. Coleman and he told me that he had no record of my having this disorder so we should just focus on what was most important, the sleep apnea. How dare he determine for me which is more important, the sleep apnea or narcolepsy/cataplexy. I asked him if he could just order another sleep study test which he refused. He stated that sleep study test are not reliable and that I have bad sleep hygiene. Dr. Coleman doesn't even have the compassion of a gnat. He didnt want to discuss narcolepsy and when I expressed that I would be leaving the visit without my concerns being addressed, he just said he had to go because he was already over the time. No solution has been given to me yet. His rating is less than one star.

I have had great loved everyone I had dealt with at Tryon Med until Dr. Coleman. I suspected I had Narcolepsy (this has been confirmed since with a sleep test) and he had NO knowledge of this disorder. Instead of saying that he was not familiar with is so I could get the help I needed. He basically told me I was fine and there was no way I had Narcolepsy. That I just had very bad sleep hygiene and wanted me to buy a stupid program. Desperate for relief I agreed to try it. But when I asked him the next steps if it did not work he laughed and told me that was it I just stuck to it and I would be fine. He was rude and not sympathetic to my struggles at all. Unless you snore or have Sleep Apnea beware!!! It was a waste of $75 and an hour of my time.
