Dennis G. Colbert, M.D. was born in New Orleans and grew up in Baton Rouge.
He attended Southern University as an undergraduate, Tulane University School of Medicine, and finished his studies with a residency at Vanderbilt University in internal medicine.
In his senior year of high school he decided to pursue medicine and praises his parents for being “the most influential persons in my life.
They were always supportive and encouraged me to strive toward excellence in all my endeavors.” Also important were his college professors who “boosted my confidence in my ability to succeed,” Dr. Colbert says. “Countless other people have won my admiration ranging from professors to other physicians and close friends, all of whom have been supportive and excellent role models for me.
Most of all, my source of inner strength and wisdom comes from my relationship with God which provides the spiritual backbone of my life.” Dr. Colbert has been with Group Health Plan on Lindell for over two years and has doctored some library employees.
He is a perceptive doctor who is reassuring to his patients.
He puts in long days at GHP before attending to his patients at Deaconess Hospital, often not returning home until 10:00 at night, an average work day of 12 hours.
Residents of the Central West End, Dr. Colbert and his wife Patrice depend on the Kingsbury Kiosk as well as Lashly Branch to meet their reading needs.
Dr. Colbert says that his favorite books include The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and The Citadel by A. J. Cronin. Favorite pastimes for Dr. Colbert are playing basketball, fishing, listening to music, learning to play the piano, and spending time with family and close friends.
He enjoys shopping and eating in the Central West End and Skinker DeBaliviere.
We wish Dr. Colbert well.
He is indeed an excellent role model for today’s youth.
