Family Doctor in Manhattan, KS
Medically reviewed by Andrew Pope, MD
Finding a family doctor who actually knows you, and who you can actually reach, has gotten harder every year. At BlueFire Med, family medicine works the way it should: one practice that cares for every member of your household, from newborns to grandparents, with appointments long enough to cover everything on your list.
What is family medicine?
Family medicine physicians are trained to care for patients of all ages and manage the full range of everyday health needs: preventive care, sick visits, chronic conditions, minor injuries, mental health, and the coordination of any specialty care you need. Instead of a different doctor for every family member, one care team knows your whole household's history.
Our providers
Dr. Andrew Pope, MD, is a board-certified family medicine physician (American Board of Family Medicine) who founded BlueFire Med to practice medicine without the insurance middleman. Summer Huncovsky, APRN, provides comprehensive family care and is currently accepting new patients.
How membership changes the experience
As a Direct Primary Care practice, we keep our patient panel intentionally small. That is what makes these things possible:
- Same-day or next-day appointments when you are sick
- 30 to 60 minute visits, not 7 minute ones
- Direct phone and text access to your care team
- Labs and medications at wholesale cost, listed on our transparent price list
- One flat monthly fee, no copays, no surprise bills
