Dr. Neil E. Coleman, Veterinarian, Owner
Dr. Neil Coleman is a 2011 graduate of St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. After spending three years on the island, he completed his clinical year of veterinary school at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia. Upon graduation, Dr. Coleman became an associate veterinarian at a progressive, high volume small animal hospital just outside of Washington, DC.
In 2013, Dr. Coleman moved back to his hometown of Dearborn, Michigan to spend more time with his family. He spent a year and a half as an associate at an intimate small animal hospital near Metro Detroit. It has been his dream to open his own veterinary hospital since he was young, and Mitten Animal Hospital is finally allowing him to accomplish that goal. His professional interests include dentistry (his father was a dentist), surgery, and internal medicine.
In his free time, Dr. Coleman enjoys playing ice hockey, water-skiing, and spending time with his wife, Amanda and their daughters, Anna and Ella. They are proud parents of Cinderella, a spoiled Chihuahua mix, and Macy, a sweet brown and white tabby cat.
