Dr. Woodward L. Coleman is a known board certified plastic surgeon who performs many procedures of the breasts, face, body and extremities, including the following specialty areas: Aesthetic surgery of the face, and body, endoscopic breast augmentation, microsurgery for breast reconstruction and hand surgery.
He attended Medical School at the University of Mississippi, followed by a five year general surgery residency at the University of South Carolina. Later he was chosen for a fellowship in prestigious Christine Kleinert Memorial Hand Surgery Fellowship in Louisville, Kentucky - the largest and most famous hand fellowship in the world.
Later, he continued with a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery which included further microsurgery training with Dr. Harry Buncke, considered the pioneering grandfather of microsurgery. Dr. Coleman is a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery as well as being certified for additional qualifications in surgery of the Hand.
Dr. Coleman is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and the American Association of Hand Surgeons.

He has been chosen for scientific presentations at five international meetings, including two teaching videos which are now archived in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery Libraries.
He is co-author of a chapter in the textbook Plastic Surgery Principles and Practice, edited by the chairmen of Emory University's Surgery Department and the University of California San Francisco at that time.
Although he has an active practice in aesthetic plastic surgery, he also continues to exercise his skills in complex reconstructive surgeries of the hand and other parts of the body.
" If there is one forte I hold above all others, it is the informed patient. I take great efforts to ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises after surgery. I take as much time as necessary, with subsequent appointments at no charge, until both the patient and I are content with the information and feel confident moving forward with the procedure."
