Dr. Ray Coleman and his wife Ruth began the Coleman legacy of vision and eye care in the 4 states in 1950 in Baxter Springs KS. Dr. David Coleman joined his father in 1977 and they later opened clinics in Chetopa and Columbus, KS. In 1998, Drs. David and Ray founded their Joplin office with Dr. David providing family eye care and the special areas of vision development, vision and learning, vision therapy, neuro-visual rehabilitation and sports vision.
