The most professional,kind,caring down to earth Dr you could ever have the pleasure in meeting. Dr Natusch is the best listener and open minded Dr I have ever been treated by. This gentleman needs more recognition for the amazing Dr he is who radiates hope,happiness and kindness where ever he goes. An NHS of Dr Natusch's would still not cover all the patients that deserve to "feel better about themselves" like this wonderful Dr makes you do,in my opinion it helps with your general well being and Dr Natusch never fails to deliver. Whether it be at the beginning of his days practise or at the end of a long challenging day he has time and patience in abundance ,I know some Drs would find this difficult and become quite short with you. Let's hope with all the Medical Students he works with ,advises and teaches they will all be Dr Natusch's further on in their working lives. Dr Natusch goes that extra mile when to be fair he doesn't have to. He takes interest with aspects of your well being mentally and physically. He always has a kind word to say even when you feel at your very lowest and you may not be brimming with happiness and feel somewhat negative,there are always words he uses that give you some faith back to carry on managing your pain successfully. Working with those who live with chronic pain and how frustrated,sad ,fatigued and angry it can make you is far from the easiest field a Dr can practise in but Dr Natusch does with such knowledge and professionalism. The late great Dr Kate Granger (RIP) whom founded " hello,my name is" for all Healthcare workers to use when greeting patients whether it be a Consultant or voluntary workers always come to mind when Dr Natusch addresses himself to patient and Dr alike. The best piece of mind you can have regarding your health is when you know you have such a Knowledgeable ,approachable Dr that within reason you can access or a Dr can your behalf can whilst he is in the hospital. I could double the amount of words I have typed in this review and it would be twice as positive. There is no particular date to put on this review as my care is on going and has been for 10 years. I just think this fantastic Gentleman and Dr needs to be praised and noticed even more for his great attitude and skills.
