Treatment Philosophy
My care philosophy revolves around achieving the best possible outcomes for all my patients. I place a strong emphasis on treating each patient with the utmost respect and compassion. I recognize the physical and emotional challenges that often accompany orthopedic conditions, and I strive to create a supportive and empathetic relationship. My approach is not merely focused on fixing the immediate issue but also on helping people regain their functionality and overall well-being. I believe in fostering a partnership with my patients, involving them in the decision-making process and providing comprehensive education on their conditions and treatment options. My aim is to guide individuals through the entire continuum of care, supporting them in achieving optimal health and a return to an active and fulfilling life.
Patient Comments
My surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurses, and the rest of the staff that participated with appointments and surgery were very accommodating & helpful. It was a pleasure to have had my surgery at Temple University Main. I would be happy to refer anyone to TUH for services base on my experience I had.
Provider wasn't extremely talkative however they were behind in servicing patients. She showed me my X-ray and pointed out my injury. She explained why I only needed a brace and not a boot. I was thankful.
Dr. C is very thorough and an excellent surgeon. She always answers our questions or concerns.
Dr. Couso is an excellent provider. She was familiar with my entire history and gave me her full attention not do her charting while she was with me. Dr. Couso was very thorough do extensive testing to rule out problems.
Wonderful care
