Christopher Ehly, MD, is passionate about staying healthy and well. He considers all factors related to a patient's well-being - everything from nutrition and lifestyle habits to mental and spiritual health - and works with the patient to achieve or maintain optimal wellness. He loves to inspire people, young and old, to find joy in taking care of themselves.

As a Board-certified family medicine physician, he cares for a wide range of medical conditions and offers encouraging suggestions that promote overall wellness. He considers it a true gift to watch his patients improve their health.

Dr. Ehly earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine, and he completed his family medicine residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He has earned a number of professional honors throughout his career, including being named a 2021 Top Doctor by Kansas City magazine.

As he fills his life with family, spirituality and a variety of activities — basketball, biking, football, golf, gardening, camping, hiking, running, soccer and guitar— Dr. Ehly hopes to set an example for his patients, encouraging them to strive for wholeness in their own lives.
