Dr. Daniel Coulter, MD

I saw Dr. Coulter while I was in college. I was in a rough spot. I've struggled with lifelong depression and couldn't find a way out. Dr. Coulter generally only asked a bunch of generic legaleze questions and didn't seem to have much concern with your personal life. But if you recognize this is a job and its his to help you this cuts to the case.Most importantly he prescribed me the medication that turned my life around, vilazadrone, relatively new to the market at the time this medicine finally treated my treatment resistant depression after years of countless medicines and medicine allergies.Maybe he got lucky being the right doctor to suggest the right random new drug. But that doesn't change that he saved my life.I also have a medical background and he seemed to well respect my knowledge and input when I gave my personal takes on medicine and how it affected me (since I could describe the affects and side affects in medical terms).

I have worked with many doctors, yet my experience with Dr. Coulter stands out. My experience with Coulter was negative enough to seek a new healthcare professional after only a couple of visits. He made me feel terrible about myself and my treatment. Unfortunately, this is a field of medicine still gaining acceptance/shedding its stigma and subpar providers like Dr. Coulter stand to damage the strides society has been making in its treatment of mental health care. Not only is Dr. Coulter a poor provider, both insulting and unprofessional, I get the feeling he may be an unempathetic and rude person.

Every appointment is the same with the same prepared generic scripted questions probably not even originally created by Coulter himself. I understand hes not there to be my friend or even my therapist not really but wow could you not make it even more obvious that your patients wellbeing isn't the least of any of your concerns? I felt like just a box to be checked off from his schedule if even that. I would schedule appointments very solemnly only because I would have to get my prescriptions renewed and if it weren't for that I would never even bother. Would only recommend as an absolute last resort if you have no other options.

Same as above, rude, would not let me speak, Only wanted to talk about medications without even letting me explain or discuss my concerns. Said the exact same thing when I became upset that I couldn't speak, that I was not a good fit, and hung up on me. b Stay far away, if you suffer from mental health he is the last doctor you would want to see, leaving you feeling even worse than when you began your phone call

In less than 5 minutes during an initial appointment, Dr. Coulter started discussing medications to address my generalized anxiety and associated depression without actually spending earnest time to learn about or discuss my condition. When I brought up my concern that he did not spend time getting to know me he said that he thought I was in a hurry to jump to discussing medications and he had been doing this for many years. I said that I was not in a rush to discuss medications and that I was concerned. Based on his demeanor, I said that perhaps this was not the best fit and he simply hung up on me and billed for the appointment. No level of care, concern, or connection with this provider. I would highly urge against seeing him.

Very impersonal. There was no human connection.

Dr. Coulter is very reserved. Then again he is not there to be my best friend either. I find his control and detail awareness of my health very good. He answeres if I ask questions. He opens with a regular Q/A check in which is to be expected. He always stays on course with conversation which I find professional. His prescription renewal timeliness is to be recommended.

Dr. Coulter neglected to greet me as I walked in, instead immediately asking his pre planned questions. He dressed like he was going to the gym, NOT like a medical professional. While my mother was explaining things to him about my case, he shut her up to demand shorter answers instead of listening. He mimicked the treatment plan of my previous psychiatrist when what I wanted was a deeper evaluation and fresh start. He also insinuated that I was a sociopath, EXTREMELY rude. Will NOT see again.

I saw Dr.Coulter a month ago, and he was very unprofessional and not personable at all. When he opened the door, didn't even introduce himself or say hi, just looked away and said 'follow me' in a tone. I told him that i needed any quick acting anti-anxiety medication for the next month due to severe work stress, and he said he cannot prescribe any Xanax or benzo because I told him I drink about 4 drinks on Fridays/Saturdays...what? wow! This is only one of a few unprofessional things he said.

Very thorough interview: checked off a) family b) personal history c) drugs d) significant other e) medical topics and discussed how an imbalance in any of these can cause mood and anxiety symptoms. Informed me (contrary to my belief) that pot, alcohol and most illicit drugs CAUSE worsening mood and anxiety, and CAN lead to suicidal thoughts!! Shame on my PCP? Dr. Coulter NEVER starts late. My appointment is at 3:30 pm, Dr. Coulter calls me back at 3:30 pm.

Dr Coulter starts from a position of mistrust even though he leads you to believe otherwise until you leave and then he judges and manages you by your prescription history that he has access to. It was so difficult to transition from my old Dr to him, because he didn't want me to end up with one single tablet too many that he terminated our relationship after two meetings before my referral came through for me to terminate him. Never have I had such a compatibility problem with most any human.

Dr. Coulter is... an alright guy. But as a psychiatrist, he's kind of rude. He seems very backwards in his thought and even thought to blame my depression, BPD, and anxiety on alcohol and weed. I don't even drink or smoke that much - as soon as he heard that I'd done it at all, he totally shut down and his only response to any of my mental illnesses were, "Stop drinking and smoking entirely." I've seen other psychiatrists at this clinic before and I much, MUCH prefer them to Dr. Coulter.

Beyond the comfortable staff's waiting room, the psychiatrist's lack of attention to specific patient needs lacked to address such issues and based questions through a series of survey questions holding no interest in improvements to health and minding that of what client pointed out as issues directly related to today's primary concerns. There was nothing that changed I was just told things I know already and that was upsetting and a waste of my time away from work.
