He refused to give me an initial check up to see a specialist...twice. Without the check-up, the specialist refused to see me. A MONTH later,still waiting for an appointment from the specialist I ended up going to the emerg...and found out that I had somthing worse.It's all Dr Coulson's fault. It is very unprofessional to refuse to check on your patients...He is very lazy and old...and needs to retire. He probably cant even take care of himself anymore.
Dr. D. Coulson is a very astute, professional gentleman who is highly respected by both his patients and his peers. My experience with him is that he is a good listener, clearly asks pertinent questions regarding symptoms, medications and what the patient is doing to assist in their own health care. When necessarry, Dr. Coulson will order the needed tests, medications and follow up by calling the patient if there is a problem arising out of these tests.While he is careful in ordering antibiotics ( and rightly so) he does prescribe necessary meds or solutions to a "dis-ease" Booking times for appointments are reasonable.
Does not take any thing the patient says seriously. Just keeps saying it will probably go away. Does not follow up, patients have to call him to get test results.
Dr. Coulson is a deadly doctor im very comfortable around him and he switched my medication with my permission, whoever wrote that he didnt is obviously in need of some communication skills.
It is my first time to go to see Dr. Coulson. I feel really comfortable. Dr. Coulson is full experience. I am very glad that Dr. Coulson is my family doctor.
This doctor is too arrogant. He changes patient's medications, without telling them he's doing so or why he's doing it and when a patient questions decisions made regarding his own treatment, this doctor will start yelling at the patient and becomes even MORE unhelpful. Needless to say, when an ill patient is treated like this and obviously CANNOT talk to his doctor without risking a hostile response, he is forced to find a new physician. If Dr. Coulson can't deal with some patients without losing control of himself, perhaps it's time to retire.
