Hickory Medical has been a central part of the of the revitalization of West Columbus Avenue in downtown Bellefontaine. We have created a state of the art medical facility in the historic King Building. We selected this site because it allows us to be easily accessible to patients and to be actively engaged in our community.
I grew up in Bellefontaine. From the time that I started school at Northeastern Elementary, I wanted to be a doctor. My father, Roger Kauffman, was a physician at Oakhill Medical Associates and spent his career serving this community. I loved to see his work and to hear his stories - from delivering babies to suturing up a kid who had an accident to comforting families as they prepared to lose a loved one.

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of Hickory Medical. A great innovation in regards to being a direct primary care office, the staff makes it worth every penny. From runny noses to infections, to wellness checkups and beyond, Dr. Ryan Kauffman and his team put all of their focus on you. These two new parents could not be more grateful for that.
Hickory Medical is definitely top notch, and anyone would be glad they made the move to their practice.

Hands down the best Dr’s office around. Wait times are usually less than 5 minutes with 0 wait times most visits for me.
They treat you like family rather than just a patient. They also spoil you with no wait times and how quickly things are taken care of. I can’t say enough good thing about this place. The membership is beyond worth it!

I've been seeing Doctor Kauffman since 2017. I can always get an appointment in a timely manner. He genuinely listens to me and takes my health very seriously. He's helped me navigate my health issues better than any specialist I've seen. I will be his patient for life! Jenn is also such an amazing asset to his office. She is my favorite. Always cheery and helpful and makes me laugh. I really feel like they are family to me.

If this were the health care model for America we would be in better shape financially and far healthier. My wife, daughter and I have been patients for over a year and found a vast benefit to having Ryan Kauffman as our family doctor. It's inexpensive and he and the staff will educate on a variety of ways to save money on medical care. We first learned how to use good RX here and never worry about affording meds. This office is incredibly tactical and capable to providing care.
It's also the most time I've ever had my medical history reviewed. Care here is thorough.

Hickory Medical DPC. The staff is beyond wonderful! They represent a type of Medical Care that is somewhat uncommon in the industry, but gaining rapidly in popularity. When I last visited, I learned that DPC is an acronym for Direct Primary Care. The Care and Billing structure is 100% more CONSUMER FRIENDLY than anything else I was used to in the past. I would not be doing Hickory Medical DPC justice in explaining it from a Layman's Point of View and suggest you take some time to meet these wonderful people and learn what they can do to provide BETTER CARE for LESS MONEY. HIGHLY RECOMEND!
