Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Personalized Medical Care
My husband and I recently moved from another state to CT to be close to our family. We were looking for a doctor who would take care of our medical needs as we age. We feel thankful and privileged to find such a caring doctor as Dr. Couture. She took the time to sit down with each of us separately and asked specific questions about our medical needs and concerns. We never felt rushed, her staff was incredibly professional and very affable. Next day, Dr Couture took the time to call me and later my husband to discuss the previous day's test results! No doctor has ever done that before. Thank you Dr. Couture....you practice medicine at its best.

The Best of Everything
On March 15, 2024, I received the worst news: my husband was diagnosed that morning with colon cancer Stage 4 with involvement in the liver and lymph nodes. Devastated, I fortunately had a check up myself with Dr Couture. She listened carefully, understood my distress and asked a few questions. Then she pointed out to me that treatment of Stage 4 cancer has come a long way and treatment was now much improved and more hopeful even than it had been 5 years earlier when my daughter had had breast cancer. We are a month down the road from that day and doing well. As others have pointed out, Dr Couture is an excellent diagnostician, thorough in her examinations and knowledgeable in her referrals to specialists. She pays close attention when you describe your symptoms and she maintains a clinical awareness of all of the factors that affect your health. And she is a kind, compassionate and concerned professional . For 20 years, she has been an exemplary Internist. Ellie is also great!!

A Throwback To A Different Time
Dr. Couture has been my primary care physician for the past 10 years. My husband and I have always felt fortunate to have access to an amazing clinician, who truly cares and has excellent bed side manner. When Dr. Couture announced that she was establishing her own concierge practice, we did not hesitate to follow her. It is almost hard to believe that things could get any better, but Dr. Couture's entire staff is focused solely on the well-being and convenience of her patients. Her practice is a throw back to an earlier time when doctors and patients had the luxury of visits that didn't feel timed, where the doctor truly knew and understood their patient as a person first and a patient second, appointments were never a challenge to obtain, and follow up discussions were made by the doctor herself. Dr. Couture, Joy and Ellie put the well in well-being and for that, we feel most fortunate.

Perconalized care at its finest!
Carolyn has been my primary care physician for at least the last ten years. When she was working for Stanford Health she always took time to go over everything in detail and never kept a patient waiting, truly a paradigm shift from my previous physician. Now that she's on her own in Wilton center the service is even better! She's thoughtful, concerned, personable, knowledgeable, and above all professional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Excellent care and attention
Dr. Couture is very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. As my doctor for over 15 years, she knows my health history, and has gone above and beyond when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in other emergency situations. Highly recommend.

Wonderful. Caring, Compassionate
I have been a patient of Dr. Couture’s for at least 20 years. I have followed her practice moves and now joined her concierge practice because she is the best partner one could want in healthcare. She is compassionate and always takes time to really listen to you. She is knowledgeable and up on the latest research. When you mention her name to other medical professionals they always have nothing but praise for her. Most importantly, when you leave an appointment you feel valued, heard, and satisfied with every minute of your time with her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Couture for 15 years. From meeting at our first consult those years ago, I could feel the love she has for her work and how much she truly cares for her patients. Dr. Couture is extremely thorough, leaving not a stone unturned to be sure all avenues are addressed at wellness and treatment appointments. She is a wealth of knowledge as well as compassion; I am grateful to have her as my physician.

Outstanding Primary Care Physcian
Dr. Couture has been my primary care physician for around 20 years. Before deciding to utilize her care, one of my criteria was to select a doctor who would out live me, someone whose knowledge of medicine would always be current and trusted. She is a reader and ensures she is on top of the current medical data and studies. She was referred to me by the Department chair of family practice medicine at Danbury Hospital as someone who met those criteria. I have not been disappointed. She is also thorough and respected by the specialists who treat me. She listens and takes time to answer my questions. She is an outstanding and very trusted physician. I consider myself very fortunate to be a patient in her practice.

Dr. Couture has been my primary care physician for 13 years during which period she has proven time and again that she has the ideal and rare combination of qualities as a doctor and a primary care physician - above all carefully listening to the patient and explaining everything clearly, knowledgeable and up-to-date in her field, truly caring and compassionate, committed to the best interest of the patient first and foremost serving as the patient's advocate with other parties, seeking the best when referral to a specialist becomes necessary and following up on the specialist's consultation. As a patient it is easy to trust her completely, in addition to which she is pleasant!

Top-tier Personalized Care!
I would highly recommend Dr. Couture. She has always been a very thorough, competent practitioner with an excellent bedside manner, and her recent transition to a concierge medical practice has only improved my experience as a patient. Her staff is responsive and a delight to interact with, and Dr. Couture devotes as much time as necessary to discuss, and clearly explain where appropriate, a broad range of health issues.

How medicine should be practiced!
On the recommendation of my wife who has been a patient for years, I joined Dr. Couture’s practice. In the brief 6 months that I have been a member, I have had the privilege of developing a great rapport with her and the whole team. For the first time in years I feel that I have a partner that is knowledgeable and interested in my health and wellbeing. I look forward to working with her for years.

Dr Couture is phenomenal. Her diagnosis of ailments is spot on and has helped me live a better and healthy life. I’ve had other primary care doctors and Dr Couture is the best. She’s knowledgeable compassionate and has your best interests in mind. She listens and excels at getting to your problems. She treats me as if I am her only patient. I recommend her highly, call her you’ll never go to anyone else as I have stated shes the best. I have my wife going to her also

My Trusted Primary Care Physician
I’ve trusted Dr. Couture as my primary care physician for over 10 years now. Most recently I had a sciatic pain attack in the morning at 8:00am. At my wife's suggestion I called Dr. Couture's office. Ellie picked up and instinctively realized the severity of the situation. She relayed the info to Dr. Couture and they told me to come in “now”. So, we drove over and was attended to immediately. Dr. Couture examined me, questioned me, and recommended not only the necessary scripts, but also suggested the next steps for recovery, (stretching, yoga, PT, and massage), recommending who to go to if I needed them. All recommendations have proved to be successful as I have just about fully recovered after about four weeks. With Dr. Couture I have never felt rushed, and always feel listened to, even if I’m not making much sense. She always takes her time to understand completely and genuinely cares about her patients. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a better primary care physician.

I highly recommend Dr. Couture
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Couture for over 15 years. We find her to provide excellent medical advice and treatment. She takes the time to genuinely talk through and work through medical issues. We signed up for Dr. Couture's Personalized Medical Care as soon as she made it available. As I said to her at that time "For years I've been hoping you would start a practice like this. This approach to patient care is perfectly suited to the way you practice medicine"
