Dr. Richard A Coulon Jr, MD

My son was born at 24 weeks, 21 years ago. His shunt could not be placed in his abdomen because of scar tissue and had to drain into his heart. This required multiple shunt revisions as he grew. Dr. Coulon continued to care for my son until he left New Orleans. My son is blind so his comfort is music. It blocks out the sounds of the operating/recovery room. Once I had left the music at home. Dr. Coulon would not take him to surgery without music. He had a nurse find a cd player and my little boy enjoyed a jam of "She's a brick house". Once his senior resident was arguing with me about Jacob's shunt function - I told him, "you tell Dr. Coulon what I said - and if he agrees with you, I'm good." Dr. Coulon told him - "You ALWAYS listen to the mother" and came and took my son back to surgery and fixed the issue. My son would not have lived but a few years if it wasn't for Dr. Coulon's skills.

He is very caring, The only Neurological Surgeon I would let near my child in the area that I live in.
