Richard Townsend, MD

*Update* since Dr. Townsend left Baptist Primary Care - St John’s Forest- I left this office as well- the transition was not handled well.

I am new to SJC and Dr. Townsend and his staff were quick to see me when I got sick as a new patient. Very professional, sweet staff from the front desk to the lab tech to the Doctor! Highly recommended and thankful that I found this office! Thanks for the other positive reviews that convinced me to try.

Dr. Townsend is a fantastic Dr. He actually saved me from a possible life threatening emergency once. He went the extra step and ordered the test, and personally called me to tell me to get to the hospital. He’s helped me for 10 years with all sorts of things. He’s simply great.

The office staff was welcoming and efficient. I did not have to wait much. Dr. Townsend spend considerable time with me discussing my issue and is quite knowledgable. In todays healthcare world, it seems rare when a Doctor will actually spend time reviewing options and thoroughly diagnosing problems. I was quite pleased and highly recommend him.

My husband and I have been going to Dr Townsend for 10years. We are very pleased with his staff and Dr Townsend. We have had bumps in our road of life and Dr Townsend has always been then for us. He always makes me feel comfortable talking with him about what troubles me. He always explains my prescriptions throughly so I know what it is for & etc. I highly recommend him. He does own the spa next door but he has never gone on and on about it. Actually to lose weight the spa wouldne much more healthier then being put on a diet pill. The only negative is he is a Georgia Bulldog fan😉
