Dr. Couri's gentle smile, careful listening, and "We will keeping trying things until we see improvements" attitude have been such a wonderful encouragement to me(and to my family). Chronic illness and pain change one's life drastically and create many fears. Having Dr. Couri leading me through such rough waters has truly settled my previously unsettled spirit. As others have mentioned, the staff could not be any more kind, helpful, and friendly. A special shout out to Carrie, who can quickly set a worried mind at ease with her spunk and her friendship. A+ Couri & Company!

Love going to see him! Listens and believes what you have to say. Tons of experience helps him to diagnose your problem(s). I saw several doctors that had no idea what to do with me and within 10 minutes he knew. Nurses and staff are wonderful. Carrie, his nurses, is a wonderful woman and is very polite and helpful! Worth driving almost an hour to see them!
