\u201c(The clinics) are basically the same,\u201d Harper said. \u201cThere\u2019s a space for physical therapy … that\u2019s next door, in a suite next to (Derby\u2019s location). That\u2019s kind of the only difference between both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harper said that so far, the response from the community has been positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of our patients love that we could save them (a) 25-minute drive up to east Wichita,\u201d Harper said. \u201cIt\u2019s just been nice to be able . . . be more center located for these rural communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nothing is officially in the works right now, but Harper said that if the clinic does decide to continue expanding, she sees a need for a clinic in west Wichita.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think for potential, long term goals, we would want to have some type of site out west,\u201d Harper said. \u201cI think it would be (a few years) to make sure that we\u2019re good and we can expand out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ribbon cutting and open house is Monday, April 13, 4:30 through 6:30 p.m. at the Derby clinic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be part of the Derby community and to expand access to high-quality orthopaedic care in a convenient location,\u201d Dr. Justin Strickland, a sports medicine surgeon at Kansas Joint and Spine Specialists, said in a press release announcing the ribbon cutting. \u201cThis event is a chance for us to connect with the community, answer questions and show people what they can expect when they walk through our doors.\u201d<\/p>\n
