Dr Coulson is my father's doctor. After my father had a bad fall and had a brain injury my sisters and I were lost on what to do and how he would be. We saw Dr Coulson everyday in the ICU. He was so great about helping us make decisions and helping us understand everything that was happening. He helped coordinate his after care and his rehab. I was so impressed with his care.

Dr. Coulson is a wonderful doctor and so is his assistant Wesley! I cannot say enough great things about him. I would recommend and have recommended him to many people. The only negative the actual building that the medical office is located it very old and decrepit. It needs a full re-model and updated equipment. The Xray machine must be 50 years old. I wish Dr. Coulson would join another medical group.
