Allison Edwards, MD

"Dr. Allison Edwards aims to change the manner in which healthcare is delivered, putting the emphasis on keeping people well rather than solely stepping in and treating the sick. Originally from Lawrence, Dr. Edwards spent her undergraduate years at Drake University in Des Moines, IA before returning to Kansas City for medical school at the University of Kansas. From there, she completed her residency and served as Chief Resident at the University of Colorado in Denver, CO. In addition to providing care at KCDPC as a board-certified family physician, she volunteers at the JayDoc Free Clinic and serves as a Volunteer Clinical Assistant Professor for the University of Kansas and a Volunteer Clinical Instructor for the University of Colorado, allowing her to continue to educate the next generation of healers. She also provides consulting services for healthcare technology startups (Sesame is a proud example), writes for the American Academy of Family Physicians, and is a nationally featured speaker on the subject of healthcare reform."

"KCDPC provides superior health care and wellness via a direct relationship between the patient and physician paid for with a transparent, monthly fee and enhanced by clear, frequent communication. KCDPC provides comprehensive primary care in a straightforward manner, just like how primary care used to be. We achieve this by removing the middle man from the healthcare equation. Rather than paying a large, corporate, third party (i.e. an insurance company) to create a network of doctors who may or may not care about you or for you, you pay us a flat monthly fee and we provide unlimited primary care for you. No copays. No hassle. No strings attached. We are a general practice, which means we care for everything from earaches to high blood pressure, diabetes to thyroid problems, depression to stress management, women's health to LGBT care, grandchildren to grandparents. We do it all."
