Dr. Hickman, a native of Lucasville, Ohio, has been serving Southern Ohio since 1995. He received his Dental Degree (DDS) from The Ohio State University in 1993, and graduated from his Orthodontic Residency at the University of Louisville in 1995. He is currently a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Ohio Association of Orthodontists, and the American Dental Association, and has served as an officer for the Southwest Ohio Dental Seminars Study Club. Dr. Hickman has been recognized yearly by Deerfield Township for his sponsorship of the Hickman/Davis Scholarship.

Dr. Hickman began his orthodontic career in 1995, as an Associate Orthodontist in practices in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas. In March of 1997, Dr. Hickman left his associateships behind and opened his Landen (Cincinnati) practice on Columbia Road in the Morand Building. The office was quaint, but it could not accommodate the increased patient flow as the practice grew. In 2003, in the midst of remodeling, a fire destroyed the Morand Building. Therefore, the practice was moved to its current location on Montgomery Road/US 22-3.

The success of the Landen practice can be attributed to the support and referrals of the surrounding family dentists, existing patients, and the community. The referral of family and friends is the greatest compliment that can be paid toan orthodontist. Dr. Hickman is committed to providing the highest quality orthodontic treatment in a comfortable environment. Dr. Hickman believes in treating his patients as he would treat members of his own family and strives to make his younger and older patients alike comfortable in the orthodontic setting. Dr. Hickman enjoys a great reputation in the community and truly appreciates the support and referrals of existing patients and their family dentists.

Dr. Hickman has three beautiful children: Allison, Sarah and Scott, Allison, 20, is a sophomore at The University of South Carolina. Sarah,18, is a senior at McNicholas High School, and Scott, 14, attends Immaculate Heart of Mary school in Anderson Township. Allison, Sarah and Scott are avid golfers just like their father.
