About Us

Owners David and Tracy Dingman are proud to serve you and your family in both Fulton and Phoenix! They acquired these locations from Frank and Fran Badagnani who founded both businesses.

The Medicine Place is part of the Leader Network of more than 3,000 independent pharmacies. This gives them the buying power of a chain while maintaining the personalized service of an independent store. They guarantee customers quality, service, professionalism, and value.

“We are delighted to carry on the small-town, personal service and care that the Badagnanis established in Fulton in 1987, and in Phoenix in 2007. The folks in Fulton and Phoenix are our friends and neighbors, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, or have a special order, just ask us.” – Dave and Tracy Dingman
