Some family members and friends from church told me about Dr. Couch. Dr. Couch came well recommended. Made an appointment to meet Dr. Couch to see if he would accept me as a patient. Dr. Couch accepted me as a patient. While a resident of Florida, I… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Couch
We had the same physician for 30 plus years and the day he decided to retire was a sad day for us. We knew it was coming yet the confirmation did not seem real. We were discussing with family and found that some had a physician with MdVip that changed their lives. They could not say enough about the care they received. We set up a new patient visit with J Cummins Couch. That day he… See more
Dr. Couch is a caring doctor. He wants his patients to get better and has suggestions on how to do it. Easy to reach him and his staff. His staff is the best!
I have been a type one diabetic for 57 years. I went to the number one rated Medical Center in Tennessee for about 24 years and they told me I would never get my kidney function past the 30% range. Dr. Couch was able to raise my kidney function to 43% within one year of going to his practice, and keep me there. .He loves studying medicine and taking care of his patients. He will spend as… See more
I started seeing Dr. Couch 2 years ago. I am a reasonably healthy women in my 60's, but being able to text or call him anytime I have a problem, or a question, rather than having to jump through hoops with a office staffer, makes it worth the money I pay for the concierge service. Dr. Couch has alot of experience, yet he his young enough to be on the leading edge of everything medical,… See more
Dr. Couch gave excellent care to my dad. He let us try different types of natural remedies, as this is what we did prior to using Dr. Couch. He always took time to talk to us, let us use him as a sounding board, and put our mind at ease on more than one occasion. I'm a beekeeper and Doc was interested in bees. He came to my apiary to watch me check the hives and install a package of bees… See more
When I was a boy, many, many years ago, it was not unusual for the family doctor to make house calls, often bringing the leeches and the bleeding basin in the buggy with him. For most of my life, the Doctor has been a distant, priest-like character who didn't even know I had a house. Imagine, then, how elated I was when Cummins Couch joined MDVIP and invited me and my wife to… See more
Dr. Couch is just the best there is. No matter how big or how small our need is, he is so knowledgeable on everything! He is just a text, phonecall or visit away. We appreciate him so much!
Dr. Couch is the man! I dont see how he does it, but he truly is a family doctor, he takes care of my entire family and we have a big crew!
We are talking about My Doc and Dr. James Cummins Couch. (Doc) an I began our association about 22 years ago. We both from the Maury County area and he become my (Doc) after the death of my original (Doc). He was pleasant, always smiling, honest, loved a great story, if the time alloted, could tell you one, but always finished giving his diagnosis and prescription. He became a designated MDVIP… See more
