About
Grounded in Summit County. Rooted in real medicine.
We’re Dr. Holly Hickman and Dr. Julie McKenzie, two Summit County physicians who got tired of the rushed appointment. So we built something better.
Grateful Living Medicine is a direct primary care practice built on real relationships, transparent pricing, and the kind of care that doesn’t make you feel like a chart number. When you join our practice, you get doctors who actually have time to call you back, and a team that’s genuinely invested in your whole story.

What our patients say
I've been seeing Dr. McKenzie for years. When she told me about Grateful Living, I didn't even need to think about it. For the first time in my life, my doctor actually has time to call me back.

What our patients say
I'd been shuffled between three different specialists for two years, trying to figure out what was going on with my hormones. Dr. Hickman figured it out in one visit. I didn't know medicine could feel like this.

What our patients say
We enrolled our whole family. The direct line to the doctor is the thing, I texted at 10 pm about my son's ear and got a response in 10 minutes. We're not going back to the old way.
