About
Dr. Justin Rushing is a board-certified family medicine physician originally from Arab, Alabama. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and completed the Rural Medicine program at Auburn University. He then attended medical school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His residency training in Family Medicine took place at Floyd Medical Center, a community hospital in Rome, Georgia.
Dr. Rushing and his wife Julia moved to Cullman in 2020, drawn by the community's traditions and values. They chose Cullman as the place to put down roots and raise a family. After three years at a local multi-specialty practice, he opened My Cullman Doctor, Cullman's first Direct Primary Care clinic. He is passionate about building genuine relationships with patients and customizing care to each individual. He keeps his panel intentionally small to provide longer appointments, greater flexibility, and real accessibility. His guiding philosophy: he works for his patients, not insurance companies or corporate medicine.
