DR CHRISTOPHER COUFAL

I have had a number of surgeries over the past 50 years one of which damaged my femur and hip while in the military. That particular surgery was performed by the Chief of Orthopedics at a Naval Hospital. This surgeons name was William Stryker. Because of his skill I was able to live a normal life. A month ago while working on my front lawn I fell and fractured the same femur as I had in the past. Knowing what I had gone through in the past and being quite a bit older I was sure I wasn’t going to be the same. However, with GOD watching good luck struck me twice. I was transported to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek. My attending physician was, Dr. Christopher Coufal. Dr. Coufal explained to me in detail my injury and what he was going to do to put me back together. Because of Dr. Coufal’s skill as a surgeon I felt very confident about the outcome of my surgery. Not only is Dr. Coufal an excellent surgeon his bedside manner makes you feel that everything is going to be fine and he discusses your surgery and postoperative in a manner that you fully understand. Dr Coufal makes you feel as though you are his only patient and takes all the necessary time in order for you to understand what will transpire until you return to a normal life style. If you are in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Christopher Coufal. Ron Allgower

On behalf of my husband Francisco Bernal, he had an excellent experience, he’s grateful with Dr. Coufal.

Thank God that he put me in the hands of the best doctor in the entire Bay, Dr. Christopher J. Coufal, for my part, I thank him a lot and God keep him for a long time so that he can save more people.

Dr. Coufal treated me a while back for a dramatic fracture of my patella platform. Originally the physician who saw me in the beginning wanted to amputate my leg. Dr. Coufal absolutely saved my life. I was a paramedic for almost 31 years and I met a lot of doctors. This guy is definitely in the top 3 of all the ones I've ever met. Super nice and a genius in his trade.

Dr. Coufal and Golden State Orthopedics are exceptional! I live out of state but come in for all of my orthopedic treatments because of the care I’ve gotten. I’m an amputee and trust no one to else but Dr. Coufal to do any kind of care for that leg. The dr’s always have the patients best interest in mind and will recommend other doctors in their office if your care requires it. I highly recommend Golden State Orthopedics to any and everyone!!

I took a bad fall and fractured my elbow and hip. Dr. Coufal performed surgery on both and I highly recommend him. He thoroughly explained what the surgeries entailed and continues to follow through during my post op office visits. Myself, all the nurses and physical therapists at John Muir Hospital think he’s the best!!

Dr. Coufal is very friendly and professional . He is knowledgeable and kind, He has great bedside manners and excellent surgical skills. His staff is super friendly. I am glad he is my doctor.

After many years of living with an acquired leg length discrepancy, I was fortunate enough to consult with Dr. Coufal upon a recommendation. Dr. Coufal presented way above my expectations on everything from how I managed since to what options are now available. A path to better health and comfort was clearly planned and is being acted on. This will take awhile and best results are expected. Thanks to all at Golden State Orthopedics.

Dr. Christopher Coufal Was great with my father who had broken his Pelvis. Unlike other surgeons I’ve met he was very down to earth, he made my father comfortable with his words and advice. Surgery went well and he stayed in contact for months and months afterwords to make sure he was doing well. I would recommend him to anyone who asks. He has a great sense of humor too which is great during times of discomfort

Dr Coufal is so focused , kind and patient He truly makes me feel like I’m his only patient while he’s the busiest Doc in the facility !
