The doctor took his time to explain and listen to my concerns. He made sure several times that I was onboard, understanding what was explained to me and the proposed path we were taking in my case. He has a great bedside manner.

Made me feel more relaxed than the first doctor I went to. who gave me all the gory details and telling me I needed surgery or radiation and explaining all the side effects and telling me to make a decision. Doctor Cauldwell wanted me to see and ear nose and throat doctor as well as a neurologist to rule out some of the symptoms that I'm having that are possibly unrelated to the tumor before making any decisions. I felt he was very professional, informative and took on a great approach to making me feel more comfortable and less scared.

Dr. Cauldwell was very good in explaining what my condition was , why he was having to do surgery, and how the surgery would be performed. He answered all of my questions while showing me my MRI and discussing what he saw on my brain scan. I was very impressed and happy with my experience with him.

3 out of 5 stars

There were too many staff in the room...the surgeon, his fellow and two trainees. I felt the Surgeons explanations were directed more to the trainees than to me, the patient. When it's the first visit for something as serious as a brain tumor, it should be the fellow and the surgeon, nobody else. When I asked questions I almost felt as if I was interrupting his comments to the trainees. If it hadn't been for the Fellow seeing me first and answering questions in a cordial manner prior to the Surgeon and his entourage entering the room, it would have been a wasted trip

Love Dr Couldwell and staff!! Excellent care. I appreciate all they have done

UofU Patient January 27, 2018

Dr Couldwell was thorough with information from the MRI and what he recommended. His office was instrumental with getting appointments with other doctors for related appointments before surgery.

UofU Patient December 15, 2017

Dr. Couldwell is excellent. His trainee doctor can use some training on nice patient interaction.

UofU Patient January 27, 2017

Dr Cauldwell is wonderful, I appreciate him very much! NP Karen Mueller and Dr Alzhrani are also wonderful and make me feel cared for.

UofU Patient October 31, 2016

Dr didn't like it when I mentioned what "other" doctors had said about my childs diagnosis. I politely asked him to talk to the other doctors involved. I don't know how much time he spent on her case, but I got the impression that it wasn't very long.

UofU Patient August 18, 2016

we have been so impressed with not only Dr Couldwell but his entire staff. he constantly takes time to answer all of my questions and provide information that is helpful. His nurses and other staff are also so timely at responding to questions and helping out with everything. we could not be more pleased with how amazing they all were in taking the time to help us through a very scary ordeal.

UofU Patient July 12, 2016

Only because of the terrible wait time.

UofU Patient April 19, 2016

The only thing I was upset about is that I didn't feel like my feelings about having my tumor removed were being taken into consideration especially with the health problems I have.

UofU Patient January 06, 2016

Your staff was amazing!

UofU Patient June 23, 2015

all good

UofU Patient January 09, 2015

Dr. Couldwell is the best.

UofU Patient December 27, 2014

A very good experience.

UofU Patient October 28, 2014

Dr. Couldwell is an excellent doctor and also an excellent person.

UofU Patient October 13, 2014

Overall it was an excellent experience. I would have liked to seen written instructions at the consult, instead of getting them 10 minutes before I checked out after the operation. It would have given me time to consider additional questions. And given that actual time with doctors (other than the consult) was very short, that would have been helpful.

UofU Patient October 07, 2014

Dr Couldwell does an exceptional job!

UofU Patient September 03, 2014

Only problem was confusion between surgeon visit and follow up doctor. We just needed clarification on follow up details

UofU Patient August 28, 2014

Always a great experience with expert staff.

UofU Patient August 26, 2014

Dr. Couldwell is an amazing and very knowledgeable doctor. Fully trust him with my life.

UofU Patient August 22, 2014

The only concern that I have at this time is, the Dr. told me that he would get back to me today (Thursday) to give me more information as to when and if the surgery is going to be..

UofU Patient August 04, 2014

great employees

UofU Patient August 01, 2014

Sometimes a lot lo info given right after being woke up so made it hard to process for awhile

UofU Patient July 18, 2014

Dr Cauldwell was patient and took the time to answer all my questions without making me feel rushed. It was a great experience with such a well respected and super busy Doctor.

UofU Patient July 18, 2014

Dr Couldwell is an excellent doctor. Not too much on conversation but he is very friendly and concerned. He put us at ease and we had total confidence in him to help my husband through his illness.

UofU Patient July 03, 2014

Dr. Couldwell is a wonderful physician and a pleasure to visit with. He explains things so that I understand them, and is very modest about his accomplishments. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon to operate on my tumor. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his skills and expertise.

UofU Patient June 15, 2014

Thank you!

UofU Patient May 06, 2014

Thank you Dr. Cutler and Dr. Couldwell. I feel I'm in good hands and look forward to my surgery. I appreciate your efforts to help me feel comfortable. You gave me a peace of mind that all will be well.

I am very fortunate to be in such caring and capable hands.

UofU Patient November 18, 2013

I hope I never have to but I would definitely, without hesitation refer your office to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon.

UofU Patient October 18, 2013

Dr. Couldwell showed me my MRI's before and after he removed my tumor. He is very nice and helpful! Kudos to him and to all of the U of U. Best hospital i've ever experienced in SLC. <3 Thank you for what you do.

UofU Patient August 16, 2013

So nice and caring. Very professional, I'm lucky to have dr. Couldwell as my surgeon

UofU Patient August 07, 2013

Dr. Couldwell was doing surgery, but did come up and sit with me and explain my tumor and the options I had concerning the tumor. i felt very confident in him and his ability to treat me.

UofU Patient August 05, 2013

After the initial shock, I felt I was in good hands.

UofU Patient July 09, 2013

Amazing experience. I was scared and now I feel so at ease knowing the capable hands I will be in!

UofU Patient May 18, 2013

Dr. Couldwell was blunt, which I appreciated, and wanted. I don't need a doctor to sugar-coat things. I asked questions, he answered them honestly, in terms I could understand. I would recommend him, in a heartbeat!

UofU Patient April 27, 2013

All excellent.

UofU Patient April 03, 2013

In regards to the medication issue, I was given good information about weening myself off Kepra, but only after I asked a question about it. I'm not sure he would have considered telling me anything else about it on his own even though the nurse's assistant had already notated in the chart that I was still taking this medication.

UofU Patient April 03, 2013

I am very pleased with the time the doctors have taken to explain, answer questions, and discuss future care of my condition. I am very happy with the results of today's visit. I am very confidant and pleased with the expertise and care of the doctors.

UofU Patient April 01, 2013

The care provider that removed the staples recommended that if I had difficulty with BM's that I should contact ER. That proved to be an excellent suggestion which blessed my life.

UofU Patient March 01, 2013

I enjoyed conversing with the medical staff and the Doctors. They were friendly, caring of me and my family, and clear in their explanations.

Very impressed with Dr. Couldwell Thank you

UofU Patient October 03, 2012

I felt like I wasn't able to spend much time with Dr. Cauldwell and that would be my only complaint. He seemed like he had t rush though things

UofU Patient October 02, 2012

Dr. Couldwell has been very informative and educational about our experience. I had some interest in the actual procedure and should have asked more questions about the process of my surgery. He is a busy man and at times, I felt because of this that we needed to be respectful of his time. Would love some time to have they type of discussion that takes place over a lunch meal asking questions about my condition.

UofU Patient July 19, 2012

Only possitive comments! Awesome doctor! He saved my life.

UofU Patient March 20, 2012

Dr. Couldwell is a fantastic man, the anesthesiologist were great. One of them asked for my permission to test a new device. He explained the project and just how simple it would be. This is the first time anyone has spent this kind of time explaining what would be happening to me, and I appreciated it.

UofU Patient March 08, 2012

Everything was fast and easy
