"Dr. Pope has worked in the Manhattan community for more than four years. He attended the University of Kansas, where he graduated with honors, earning dual-undergraduate degrees, and the KU School of Medicine, where he earned his Medical Degree. He attended the Via Christi Family Medicine residency, where he had extensive training in outpatient, inpatient, ob/gyn, and procedures such as colonoscopies and EGDs. Upon finishing residency in 2012, Dr. Pope accepted a position at Stonecreek Family Physicians in Manhattan. He is board-certified in Family Medicine. He is also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Kansas Academy of Family Physicians. He has also served as the president of the Riley County Medical Society. In 2017, Dr Pope realized his dream of opening a Direct Primary Care practice. He is excited to provide modern evidence-based medicine delivered in an old-fashioned way, by offering his patients a style of health care that has not been readily-available in several decades. Dr. Pope also hopes to provide a significant savings to his patients by offering discount medications, labs, and images through his office. Dr Pope’s goal is to provide better access to care, a lower cost of care, and better overall outcomes for his patients. Dr. Pope has been married to his beautiful wife, Katherine, since 2007. Katherine is an experienced nurse, who is currently at home focused on raising their growing family. They have five children, two dogs and a slew of chickens — there is never a dull moment at the Pope house. Dr Pope’s hobbies include spending quality time with his family and upkeep of their ranch, which includes carpentry, landscaping, vehicle maintenance, etc. Someday, he hopes to be able to revisit some of his old hobbies like golf and other outdoor activities, and he looks forward to sharing those hobbies with his family. In addition to Direct Primary Care, Dr. Pope also has a passion for using stem-cell therapy to help patients. In 2014, Dr Pope and Kansas Regenerative Medicine began treating patients using the patient’s own Adult Stem Cells, otherwise known as Mesenchymal Stem Cells through a process called SVF. They also use PRP, which is Platelet Rich Plasma, which uses a patients cells to reduce inflammation and improve healing. Visit Kansas RMC for more information."
