About
Dr. Robb Hicks grew up in a medical household -- his father was an eye surgeon and his mother a school nurse. His family traveled each summer to small missionary hospitals in Mexico and on Native American reservations in New Mexico. On one of those trips, Dr. Hicks witnessed his father fit an elderly Navajo chief with a corrective pair of glasses. The man had never clearly seen the faces of his people in 65 years. That moment shaped everything. Dr. Hicks had originally aimed to become an airline pilot, but poor vision disqualified him from flying. Medicine became his path. He wanted to deliver the kind of transformative impact he had seen firsthand as a child.
Today, Dr. Hicks practices family medicine and primary care at Direct Patient Care St. Louis in Saint Peters, MO. He serves individual patients and employers across the St. Louis area.
