Pediatric Services
Our new pediatric wing will bring more appointments, shorter wait times, and medical, dental, behavioral health, and WIC services together under one roof.

Telehealth
Telehealth visits are a great option to meet with a Sam Rodgers provider from the comfort of your own home. However, not all medical needs can be addressed during a telehealth visit. We use a technology called Doxy.Me for our telehealth visits. For more information, please visit our Telehealth page or call to discuss with a member of our team.
To request an appointment, call (816) 474.4920. A member of our scheduling team will work with you to identify the best match for your clinic location, provider, and more.
