About Our Office
Established in 2016, Hickory Medical Direct Primary Care has been dedicated to serving the Bellefontaine community. In 2024, we relocated to our newly renovated office at 1125 Rush Avenue. The new location has more accessible parking and shares space with Affiliated Dermatology (Lower level, Open Mon - Thur 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM) and Premier Allergy and Asthma (Open Tuesdays from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM).
