How to access patient records and imagery

Our physicians are here to collaborate with you. To consult with a physician by phone, call 913-588-5862. A representative will assist you and collect the following information:

• The name of the physician you would like to speak with. You may also speak with someone on call.
• A brief description of the reason for your call.
• The name and date of birth of a mutual patient (if applicable).
• A call-back number in case the call is disconnected.

Once this information is obtained, the representative will connect you with the appropriate physician. If a physician is unavailable, you may speak with a nurse.
