Report
Dr. Koutures was recommended to our family from our pediatrician AND a neighbor friend for a concussion. I must say that I wish that EVERY doctor, no matter the field or specialty, would be as thoughtful, caring and thorough as Dr Koutures. The manner in which he CARES about the patient and his follow through are unlike any doctor I've ever experienced. He's knowledgeable, he will respond promptly AND if there is every something you are worried about, he will even return a call on a Sunday. My daughter's concussion, along with broken nose, is going to be a lengthy journey. I firmly believe in his

Report
Dr Koutures recently diagnosed our daughter, a cross country athlete, with a stress reaction in her leg. We couldn't be more grateful to our pediatrician for referring us to Dr. Koutures. It has been the most amazing medical experience my husband and I have ever witnessed. He has contacted us in the evening on weekends and basically whenever we need him in regard to her care. We feel like she is in great hands with Dr. Koutures and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need.
