My beloved parents, ages 89 and 91, live with my family and me. Without Dr. Couch's vigilance, his visits, and his support, this would be impossible. We are so grateful and feel he is a part of our family. I try not to abuse the privilege, but it is so comforting to know we can call him if we need him. Happy Physicans Day Dr. Couch!

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Couch
Dr. Couch is readily available and attentive to our family's medical needs and wellness. He is very thorough and truly cares. We never feel rushed nor does he rush our appointments. He carefully takes time to understand and discuss and help improve our health for each of family members. He's the most wonderful doctor we've ever known!

I don't believe there's a better doctor anywhere.He's the BEST!
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.
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.… See more
After two recent hospital stays I decided to switch doctors. What a remarkable difference Dr. Couch has made in my health care. I certainly appreciate everything he has done especially the personal care I receive. Thank you Dr. Couch!!
