Dr Simon Coulter is the first Consultant I have been referred to who has actually made me feel comfortable during my appointment.i have seen many during the past two years and yet I was at last able to explain to Dr Coulter exactly how I was feeling without having that terrible fear of being a nuisance and taking up his time. I am totally aware of just how many patients consultants have to deal with so am very grateful for their time. There was no rushing, he listened intently to everything I had to say and was concerned as to how I was coping with pain & emotions, spent well over an hour with my husband and myself and at all times my husband was included in the conversation and not left to feel like a spare part. I really appreciate being seen by Dr Coulter as there was much progress in my one meeting with him. So many different aspects of my care have been covered and I'm being referred to other healthcare providers for help needed to cope with my condition. To me Dr Coulter has the perfect caring approach to Palliative Care treatment (quietly spoken but yet very genuinely concerned) and I certainly recommend being referred to him if you feel you are not getting anywhere with symptom control and pain management. I'm not saying we have everything fixed in one visit but at least I know he is willing to help in any way he can.
