Paul Hura, MD

I am an internal medicine physician with nearly 30 years of experience helping patients address various illnesses. I have worked in the hospital, outpatient and post-acute care settings. I grew up in Chicago, where I met my wife, Dr. Nora Gomez, a family medicine physician who is from Kansas City, MO. We moved to Kansas City after completing our residencies, where we started a family.
 
The privilege of caring for others in their times of need and vulnerability has helped instill in me a sense of humility and responsibility. Being a third generation physician and growing up around medicine did expose me to the life I would be choosing, and it helped reinforce the commitment I would have as I was tasked with providing medical care. I saw that one of my father's greatest joys was not only in diagnosing and treating his patients, but partnering with them and their families in that effort. As a primary care physician, his patients remained loyal to him, and he, in turn, provided them with a lifelong commitment of personalized care. I hope to honor his memory by developing similar relationships with my patients, supporting them in their efforts as they pursue good health and wellness.

This special relationship between physician and patient remains one of the most sacred bonds between people. I believe that when that relationship is paired with preventive services and individualized care like that offered in the MDVIP model, it can support patients in their pursuit of achieving and maintaining good health. These days, advanced screenings, along with nutrition, exercise and other aspects of preventive health, can help us live longer and healthier lives. And if disease markers or illness do present themselves in patients, I aim for my experience and network of subspecialists to support them in receiving the care I believe they deserve.

I very much want to enter into a partnership with you. We can partner on developing a plan for you as you work to achieve and maintain your optimal health. I can support you with guidance on disease prevention, nutrition, and possibly hormone and other metabolic replacements as medically indicated.

I am proud to partner in the office with my wife, sharing our knowledge and experience in caring for patients, so that our personalized primary care practice encourages patients to work toward their best potential outcomes. I look forward to personally getting to know you, your family, and anyone else important in your life, so that a true partnership forms between us, based on mutual respect and effort, so that mutual goals of health and disease prevention are the focus. 

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers personalized and preventive primary care. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. You will have the opportunity to communicate with me directly during and after hours. I also offer same-day or next-day appointments. 

Thank you for allowing me to share my personal and professional thoughts with you, and thank you for considering me to be your personal primary care physician.
