Physician Testimonials
I did my residency in Wichita and I KNEW who I wanted to practice with. Knowing who I would work and partner with was very important to me. I could see the friendship and camaraderie that Wichita Clinic physicians enjoyed as well as their professional relationships. I was impressed with it and I’m glad to be a part of it.

The University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita relies on the cooperation and support of Wichita's private and public health-care institutions to educate young doctors. Wichita Clinic physicians have actively partnered with us for a number of years as clinical teaching faculty. Our students and residents appreciate the importance of the opportunity they have to work alongside Clinic physicians as they provide patient care at their facilities. Area healthcare organizations like Wichita Clinic are helping us achieve our goal to become the premier center for community-focused medical education and scholarship.

Wichita Clinic and its physicians are invaluable partners of Wesley Medical Center in providing premier medical care to people living in a wide region of the Midwest. These physicians’ active involvement in our medical staff leadership, expansion projects, and quality of service plays a vital role in keeping Wichita at the leading edge of health care developments. My wife, who is a physician, and I would not have moved to Wichita this past summer from Denver if we had not felt confident of Wichita’s wealth of health care opportunities, outstanding physicians, progressive community development, and quality of life for our family.
