Why we exist
Two Broken Choices. We Built a Third.
Most people are handed two ways to get care — and each one asks you to give something up.
Runs out of capacity
The solo clinic
Can know you for years — but it runs on one schedule. No coverage when your doctor is away, and most things get referred out.
Runs out of humanity & cost
The hospital system
Has the reach — but you get rotating providers, a call center instead of a person, and bills that can carry surprise fees.
The third option
Metropolitan Healthcare Partners
The continuity of a neighborhood practice with the access and coordination of a larger group — because we’re independent and physician-led.

Why MHP
The Independent Care Advantage
MHP began when five independent Chicago primary-care practices joined forces — and chose to stay physician-led. That one choice shows up in five things you can feel, starting with the first phone call.
Today
At MHP
01
The average wait for a new-patient doctor’s appointment in major US metros is now 31 days, and 1 in 3 Americans has delayed or skipped care after a bad experience or failure to get a timely appointment.
Seen Sooner
Access is designed into MHP — multiple providers covering one another, same-day appointments, and phones answered by people, not phone trees.
01
02
53% of Americans say healthcare treats them like a number.
Known, not processed
You keep your own doctor, and continuity is treated as medicine — research links seeing the same physician to fewer ER visits, fewer hospitalizations, and lower mortality.
02
03
US adults spend the equivalent of a full workday every month coordinating their own care, repeating their history to providers who don’t talk to each other.
One team,
one story
MHP providers share one record and hand patients off warmly inside the group; when outside referrals are needed, MHP ensures a seamless transition.
03
04
The price of a checkup can change based on one thing: who owns the office. When a hospital owns a doctor’s office, a regular visit can cost more — even when the care is exactly the same. The same visit costs about $116 at an independent office, but about $217 at a hospital-owned one. That’s almost double.
Honest bills
MHP is independent. So you pay for your care, and nothing extra — no facility fees! That’s true for both adults and children.
04
05
Roughly 26 million Americans with limited English proficiency experience delays, errors, and worse outcomes; big systems typically offer only phone interpreters.
We understand
who we serve
In-language care isn’t concentrated in one flagship location — it’s distributed across the network, matched to the community each site serves.
05
The point isn’t ‘every language, everywhere’ — it’s that our group understands the neighborhood each location inhabits.
Spanish
Across Chicago
Widely spoken throughout Chicago, which is why all MHP front desks are fully prepared to assist you in Spanish.
Polish
MHP – Jefferson Park
Polish-speaking staff serve the Polish neighborhood.
Assyrian / Arabic
MHP – North Park & Edgebrook
Both welcome the Assyrian/Arabic community by name.
Korean
MHP – Park Ridge
Korean-speaking care, led by Enkhtuya Gelegdorj, NP, anchors this location.
Walk-in urgent care
Urgent Care That Actually
Knows You.
A standalone urgent care center gives you access, but no relationship — a stranger, no shared record, starting from scratch every visit. Walk into MHP and you get the same open-door access
The median ER visit runs 2 hours 42 minutes, and about 1 in 4 ER visits by adults under 65 is for something non-urgent. Before you spend three hours in a waiting room, walk in or call us first.
Walk-ins welcome
No appointment — just come in
