Dr. Linda Cannaday Couture, MD

Dr. Couture is a very caring, dedicated physician. I've been seeing her for years and she really listens to what you are saying!

I left with the feeling of not being properly examined and she rushed through the visit without giving me the opportunity to adress my concern. These doctors who mistreat patients ought to be dealt with in a harsh way. They know better. Somebody read this and help the patients.

Her beside manner is unique but she is a fine doctor. She is concerned observant and listens to everything that you tell her. Give her the facts and she will give you the diagnosis. If she feels that you need a 2nd opinion she will give you the referral that you need either because you illness warrants it or because you need the reassurance that her diagnosis is correct. I've been one of her patients for over 10 years and she has helped me with some serious illnesses. She knows her stuff. Go prepared, ask questions let her assist you regain your health!

This doctor recommended a costly an invasive procedure when a noninvasive one would have given just as much information. Asked a reason for an EKG abnormality, she offered the most catastrophic possibility imaginable in an offhand way, with a smile, and denied that anything more simple (like lead placement) could have been at fault. She also failed to identify *earwax* in a family member's ears, and referred us to a *specialist*. The smile others mention is robotic, inappropriate, an in no way reassuring. I will not go back to see Dr. Couture.
