I joined Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics in 1979. I practiced as an orthopedic surgeon for more than 35 years with a focus on hand/upper extremity care and sports medicine. I also served as a Team Physician for the Kansas City Royals for 30 years. Today, my emphasis is on non-operative orthopedic care.
The Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute and our orthopaedic physician clinics are taking precautions to protect our patients, families, providers and visitors as we continue to deliver care during this health emergency. As part of the Saint Luke’s Health System, we are modeling our precautions and procedures from Saint Luke’s. The new knowledge and changes are being constantly reviewed, and our policies will be updated as needed.
All people entering the KCOI facility will have their temperature screened and will be asked questions regarding health symptoms and travel. All patients and visitors will be required to wear a mask while in the building.
These questions will include:
If you have answer ‘Yes’ to any of these questions, please call your primary care physician and your orthopedic surgeon’s office located at KCOI to get more detailed instructions 913-319-7633.
Effective Wednesday, 3/18, KCOI will be instituting a NO VISITORS policy across all entities.
Guidelines for Hospital and Clinic Visitors
The Ortho Urgent Care at KCOI will remain open at this time as a community service to give patients an additional option to a traditional hospital emergency department.
