Dr. Anton Coleman's homepage

WELCOME

Dr. Anton Coleman is a highly-specialized Cognitive expert whose primary focus is on prevention and improvement of disorders that affect how the brain behaves either due to brain lesions or hormonal malfunction.

 

Entities like dementias of all types (e.g. Alzheimers), stroke with cognitive or language complications, and healthy living are the main areas of interest and future avenues of investigation at this institution. The use of patient centered mental status testing is an art (of Behavioral Neurology) that makes Dr. Coleman unique here in Naples, and the associated Neuroendocrinological training is a rare pearl both in this community, the USA and internationally.
