Meet J. Cummins Couch III, MD

I believe the key to good health is having a personalized partnership with each of my patients by caring, listening, educating and advocating for them. In my personalized healthcare practice, I am able to spend extra time with my patients on prevention and wellness and also focus on women's health, occupational health, cardiovascular health and weight loss. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

As a board-certified family physician, I see all age groups from newborns to seniors, working to help them achieve their optimal health. 

I am affiliated with Maury Regional Hospital and see patients from all over middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Columbia, Mt. Pleasant, Pulaski, Lawrenceburg, Loretto, Hampshire, Hohenwald, Lewisburg, Murfreesboro and Dickson.

We offer complimentary meet-and-greet consultations to see how you would benefit in our unique practice. I look forward to meeting you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Dr. Couch and his staff are wonderful! He never rushes my appointments and explains everything in great detail.

from Angelia in TN • February 10, 2015
Dr. Couch and his staff are wonderful! He never rushes my appointments and explains everything in great detail. Tracy & Jana are always ready to help me with appointments or questions about my billing. I love that my time is precious, which means I do not have to sit in the waiting room for long periods. They make me feel that I matter. All three of these people have my greatest respect.

Dr Couch is a unique and extremely competent medical professional

from Joel in TN • March 8, 2016
Dr Couch is a unique and extremely competent medical professional. I have known him since he was a young lad in High School. He is a very caring person with a charming personality. Without Dr Couch, there is a strong possibility that, I would not be alive today.

Thankful is a great word that I have for Dr. Couch

Dr. Couch has been my physician for about twenty years. Always, even until this day, he has offered his shoulders to help me bear my health burdens, with truth, interest and wonderful advice. Somewhere along the way, we also became friends. Recently I was diagnosed with ALS at Vanderbilt, after him being responsible for making me that appointment. I asked him if he, through MDVIP, could get me Read more...

Our thanks to MDVIP and all that they have done for my family.

from Ivan W • March 29, 2017

Our friend and doctor, Dr. Couch (Doc) and his attendant Tracy got on the phone and contacted MDVIP for help. Within a day we received a call from FL and it was MDVIP letting us know we have an appointment at MD Anderson in Houston TX! We were so amazed! The next day we got a call from MD Read more...
