Couch Craig H MD

I had previously seen Dr. Horvit for a different neurological issue, when I decided to see a consult for chronic headaches I asked to be referred here. I knew it was a very nice and well run practice. Since Dr. Horvit does not handle headaches I started seeing Dr. Couch. I have only had one visit but he was very thorough discussing my symptoms, what he thought might be the culprit and gave me multiple options to start treating them. He did refer me for a MRI because it was one option available and I wanted to start there since I had previous neurological issues. His staff has been wonderful calling with test results, I am needing several more tests and they have explained why and what they are looking for ahead of my follow up with Dr. Couch. I feel like he is not doing needless tests but is being very thorough with what could be a much more serious causing the headaches. I am not sure why the reviewer five years ago thought he sent her for needless and expensive tests, I checked my copay and also discussed with Dr. Couch why I personally wanted the MRI. He actually expected to see little on it and warned me it may only show a healthy brain, instead it came back with abnormalities. I feel confident he will be able to help me control the headaches and improve my health.

I love Dr. Couch. I moved so I had to switch neurologist, but he was great. He is very quiet, but he is very smart and he truly cares about his patients. I feel like my migraines have improved because of him. His staff is great too. His MA returned my calls in a timely matter and she is so sweet. Also they have an infusion clinic and the nurses there are AMAZING! They are so kind, caring and great at what they do. I was sad to leave.

I have worked as an RN in the same hospitals that Dr. Couch cares for patients. For more than 20 years, I have seen patients with complex problems receive the compassionate, thorough, and intelligent care that Dr. Couch has a reputation for. When it was time to select an neurologist for my own mother, I chose Dr. Couch, his staff provides competent, excellent care. My 80 year old mother thrives today as the result of the diagnostics and recommendations provided by Dr. Couch.
I have only one question for Katie S., If you «already knew you were perfectly healthy» why would you need to seek the services of a specialist? If a doctor treats you WITHOUT preliminary examination and testing, he is a quack.

Dr. Couch recommends needless, expensive testing.
With no family history of brain tumors or aneryisms and no signs of internal bleeding, he swiftly recommended I have an MRI done. Not giving a damn about what it would cost me, but more interested in the kick back he’d get for referring me. What a complete joke. And charges an arm and a leg for 5 minutes of BS! MRI results came back only to say what I already knew — perfectly healthy and a big, fat bill to stick me with. Come time for follow up, he had absolutely nothing meaningful to tell me. Thanks Dr. Couch, you’re useless.
