About
Collier B. Gladin Jr., MD has practiced family medicine in Macon, Georgia for decades, building a reputation as a physician who listens first. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology, Cum Laude, from Valdosta State College in 1980. He then completed a Master of Science in Medical Microbiology and Immunogenetics at the University of Georgia before earning his Doctorate of Medicine from Mercer University School of Medicine in 1986. Dr. Gladin completed his Family Medicine residency at the Medical Center of Central Georgia, where colleagues and faculty recognized him with two honors: Teaching Resident of the Year for Outstanding Service in Education of Medical Students in 1988, and Family Practice Resident of the Year in 1989-1990.
Dr. Gladin specializes in family medicine with a particular focus on managing type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension. His clinical philosophy centers on a simple conviction: every patient deserves to be heard. He treats each person as a partner, designing wellness strategies that address physical and emotional health together. Through the MDVIP model, he keeps his practice small enough to give each member meaningful time and direct access. He remains reachable by phone after hours and on weekends, and he sees every patient personally rather than delegating to mid-level providers.
