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
Doctor was good once she came into room.
Good experience
I have never liked or was impressed by a doctor as I was with Dr. Couso. She listened to my problem and took the time to explain my X-rays and explained the many solutions to my problem. I am in total awe of the doctor she is.
Dr is a sweetheart
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.
