About KU Wichita Internal Medicine

What is KU Wichita Internal Medicine?

KU Wichita Internal Medicine is an internal medicine and primary care practice in Wichita, Kansas. It is affiliated with the KU School of Medicine-Wichita and has more than one office in Wichita, including a Midtown location. Primary care is its main work. Its listed services are primary care, chronic care management, telehealth, a transitional care management team, infectious disease care, menopause management, and hormone replacement therapy. Obesity and weight loss services are named in its physician description. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity programs.

The clinic lists four prescribers: Elisha J. Brumfield, D.O., FACP; Lisa Le, M.D., MD; Kristine Babica, PA; and Cynthia Kibet, MD. Brumfield and Babica are accepting new patients. Le is taking diabetes patients only, and Kibet is not accepting new patients. Residents, fellows, and medical students also see patients during visits. In its own words: "Our physicians are board-certified in internal medicine and provide a wide variety of clinical services including preventive medicine, chronic disease management, diabetes care, and obesity and weight loss services."

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. It does not list a consultation fee, and it does not say whether a weight loss or hormone program fee includes the medication. It also does not say whether it bills insurance or works on cash pay. Call 316-293-2622 and ask for each of these before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber would handle your care. Weight loss is named in the physician description, and Dr. Kibet's bio says she founded a lifestyle clinic focused on weight loss. She is not accepting new patients, though, and the clinic does not name a weight loss prescriber or a weight loss medication.

Ask whether any weight loss medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether the program fee covers it. If you are considering hormone replacement therapy, ask whether it is prescribed at this clinic and by whom. The menopause page lists it as a service but does not name the prescriber.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether those are billed separately. Ask whether telehealth is available for your state, since the clinic lists telehealth but does not name the states it covers. Ask whether a resident or student will be present at your visit. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop care, and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care that includes weight and hormone concerns, and you can see a prescriber who is accepting new patients. It is a weaker fit if you want a cash-pay program with published prices and a named medication, because the clinic publishes neither.
