Primary Care Physician in Manhattan, KS
Medically reviewed by Andrew Pope, MD
Your primary care provider is the front door to your health: the person you see for checkups, the one who catches problems early, manages your ongoing conditions, and coordinates specialists when you need them. At BlueFire Med, that relationship is the entire point of the practice.
Primary care that has time for you
The average primary care visit in America lasts under 15 minutes, and getting on the schedule can take weeks. We built BlueFire Med differently. Because members pay a flat monthly fee instead of per-visit insurance billing, our panel stays small and our schedule stays open. Members get:
- Same-day and next-day appointments
- Visits that run 30 to 60 minutes
- A provider who answers your calls and texts directly
- Wholesale-cost labs and medications with every price published
- Telehealth visits included
What we treat and manage
Preventive care and annual physicals, acute illness and minor injuries, chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, and asthma, mental health concerns including anxiety and depression, women's and men's health, and referrals and coordination when specialty care is needed.
Who we are
BlueFire Med is led by Dr. Andrew Pope, MD, board-certified in family medicine, alongside Summer Huncovsky, APRN, who is currently accepting new patients. The practice is accepting new patients now.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between primary care and family medicine?
Primary care is the category; family medicine is a specialty within it. Family medicine providers deliver primary care for patients of every age, which is what we do at BlueFire Med.
How fast can I be seen?
Members are typically seen same-day or next-day. That access is a core part of what membership pays for.
Do you take my insurance?
We do not bill insurance for office care. Membership is a flat monthly fee with transparent pricing, and most members find total costs lower and far more predictable.
How do I become a patient?
