DR COUTURIER, HAND AND OSTEOARTHRITIS SURGEON

Thank you for your professionalism and competence The operation for tendinopathy of the wrist was delicate and a success. A reassuring surgeon who explained everything

A charismatic and responsive surgeon who takes all the time needed to explain the pathology, the options and the procedure under ultrasound, who makes sure to operate quickly if necessary, who before and during the operation explains the gestures performed, who even takes care to wait by the cabin to make sure the patient manages to get dressed. State-of-the-art medical equipment. A light anaesthetic gently administered, following an auriculotherapy consultation designed to reduce post-operative pain... A very efficient and friendly nurse, a secretary as professional as she is pleasant, and welcoming, well-appointed premises that show just how well-suited the "office care" concept is for this type of procedure. We couldn't hope for better. I'm writing this from my hand, which underwent carpal tunnel surgery 4 hours ago. A trivial operation, no doubt, but performed by Dr. Couturier in a remarkable manner that promises a perfect recovery with complete peace of mind. I'm not sorry to have ignored the doctor's irrelevant opinion that I had waited too long. It's not unusual for a surgeon to wait a little - you don't come to buy a sandwich, but a high level of competence that affects your physical integrity, as well as an understanding approach. Dr Couturier and his team offer all this. I can speak from experience, having undergone several surgeries, including a major one, in less than 3 years. Go there with your eyes closed.

Very good surgeon. Very high quality of work and human person . He had to repeat an operation that had been poorly performed by a bad surgeon and frankly we are very satisfied. I recommend him.

Competent, reassuring and a great surgeon. In a word: top. I saw him for Dupuytren's disease on my right hand. He explained the operation perfectly. It was carried out and I felt no pain whatsoever. It was a successful operation which enabled me to resume playing the piano 24 hours later. I've regained my original flexibility, touch and spacing. Many thanks to Doctor Couturier, and to all his team, who were available and gave good advice.

I'm bouncing off the opinion of a certain doctor who gave us a comment to sleep on. Personally, I'd rather wait for an excellent doctor for an hour or more than be taken care of by a doctor who spends 20 minutes on each patient, whatever their needs... I haven't seen Dr Couturier for a very long time, but I just wanted to say that he was one of the people who saved my life when I was transferred to intensive care at the Bichât hospital at the end of 2002, having been the victim of a nosocomial infection at Beaujon, and suffering from necrotizing fasciitis of the leg. Even though he was an upper limb specialist, he performed grafts on my leg for 3 months after initially excising the whole leg in order to save me. He also performed a cross leg (his first), i.e. sewing one leg to the other in order to revascularize one of them. Thanks to this, I didn't lose my life, and I didn't lose my leg. Dr Couturier always took the time to reassure me, explain things to me, and even talk about my future. A man of extraordinary empathy. I went back to the West Paris hospital (and to Pompidou) where I had a few operations in the years following my discharge from Bichat, (Achilles tendon lengthening...) and Dr Couturier was always so attentive and generous. Even when I was operated on by his colleague, he came to see me in recovery and in my room afterwards to check on me. So yes, it's worth waiting for such a doctor, even for hours ... so dear doctor, who complains about having waited 1 hour on several occasions, I feel sorry for your patients to whom you wouldn't give an extra minute in order to respect your timing .. again A BIG THANK YOU DOCTOR COUTURIER, I certainly wouldn't be in this world, or I wouldn't have my leg anymore, without your intervention. With all my respect and gratitude. Perhaps you will remember me. Marie-France ALLAUX (of Vietnamese origin)

I'd like to thank Doctor COUTURIER, who is an excellent surgeon in a way you don't often see. He's been with me for several years and has just operated on the carpal tunnel in my left hand, after several infiltrations and PRP. He takes the time to explain, is a good listener, reassuring and always with the patient's best interests at heart. He has surrounded himself with an extremely kind team of nurses (Audrey, Cassandra...) and his secretary (Delphy), who will be with you throughout your convalescence. Indeed, this is the first time I've seen a team take news of the patient the day after the operation, and frankly this consideration is invaluable. So thanks again to Doctor COUTURIER and his team.

At the beginning of October, I went to Clinique Bizet for a minor carpal tunnel operation. Having undergone several operations a few years previously, I was feeling a little apprehensive. This anxiety was quickly dispelled by the reassuring and friendly staff and by the sight of Doctor Couturier and Doctor Chadi. The operation went admirably well, and the operating room team is excellent, competent and friendly, human and warm! Thank you to all of them, and especially to Dr. Christian Couturier, who made the pain go away! I'm left with a very small scar and a good memory!

First of all, I'd like to thank Dr Couturier for his patience and professionalism, as I was going through a very difficult period at the time of the operation, and he was able to reassure me by putting up with my anxiety attack... Dr Couturier is one of those doctors who explain everything in detail, and I appreciate that. Today, my shooter works very well, whereas it was stuck and the slightest effort hurt before the operation. What's more, the scar doesn't even show (he's an artist). I'd also like to thank the whole team for their good humour, sympathy and professionalism, not forgetting the anaesthetist Dr Weickmans who adapted to my case for a different anaesthesia and with a big smile.

Nothing to complain about ... perfect

A human welcome, even if I couldn't make an appointment right away, Dr Couturier himself explained the situation and apologized for not being able to be contacted right away. That makes all the difference, and thank you for the patience of a doctor who takes care of people.

Dr Couturier is an excellent surgeon, one of the best. He has operated on me 4 times, in 2009 and 2011 for carpal canals, and in 2022 and 2023 for thumb prostheses. Each of his operations has been a success, with a full and rapid recovery. Dr Couturier is a surgeon who listens, cares and soothes, who takes the time to explain to his patients, and who puts the human relationship before profit. His professionalism, skills and efficiency make him an outstanding surgeon. I'm a very demanding person, and I have total confidence in Dr Couturier. At the time I had the operation, I was a restaurateur working in the kitchen. My hands were my work tools, without them there'd be no restaurant. For me, Dr Couturier is the best of the best, and if you're still hesitating, don't hesitate. You're in good hands... Thank you to Dr Couturier, his secretary and his wife for the preoperative auriculotherapy sessions which enabled me to take no medication after my last 2 operations.

I was operated on by Dr. Couturier to remove a plate with 6 screws placed in my forearm in 2007, which had failed to be removed in 2031 during a first attempt by another surgeon. Dr. Couturier performed this delicate operation masterfully. I'm entirely satisfied. His assistant was also very professional and very pleasant. If you're looking for a good surgeon who's very professional, and what's more, friendly, you can go there with your eyes closed." Cédric B
