Dr Couri is one of the finest doctors. He is very busy and usually I have a wait before I get in. This time I got in almost immediately. I don't mind waiting for him because when I do get in I get 100% of his time. I feel lucky I have him for my doctor.

July 29, 2025
Today's visit was very productive. We discussed a number of issues, and as usual, Dr. Couri started the process for finding solutions to all of them without hesitation. So unlike many physicians these days who seem to want to kick the a down the road. I've said this before and I'll say it again - If I had to keep just one of my many doctors, it would be him. Hands down.

I am a Dr. Brian Couri groupie! I have been a patient of his for about 25 years. I have a congenital back defect, and he has kept me vertical all this time. He has prescribed PT when needed, given me cortisone shots when I was in extreme pain, and worked seamlessly with my neurosurgeon when surgery was required. I have brought my parents, siblings and friends to Dr. Couri. He is an excellent diagnostician, keen listener, and outstanding doctor. I am very grateful to be a patient of Dr. Couri!
