First Care Clinic, Inc. is pleased to announce Ross Kee, DDS, as its full-time dentist.  Dr. Kee previously served on a part-time basis as the Dental Director for the clinic but will be joining the dental department full-time beginning October 1, 2024. 

Dr. Kee earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry. He comes to First Care Clinic from the La Crosse Family Dentistry practice in La Crosse, where he served his patients for four years. Patients from La Crosse Family Dentistry are now able to schedule with Dr. Kee at the First Care Clinic location at 105 W. 13th St. in Hays.

“I am happy to announce that some of my current staff are making the transition to Hays with me,” stated Dr. Ross Kee. “My patients will receive the same exceptional dental care, just at a different location.”

“A little over a year ago, Dr. Kee joined our clinic as Dental Director, and his leadership style really resonated with our dental team.  We were fortunate to have him in our clinic providing dental services one day a week as well” says CEO, Eric Flax, “I saw first-hand how caring and patient-driven Dr. Kee is.  I am very excited to now have Dr. Kee in our clinic full-time.  We are looking forward to meeting the dental, medical and pharmacy needs of the La Crosse Family Dental patients. “

Flax went on to explain, “As we work to integrate Dr. Kee’s current patients into First Care Clinic, we have not forgotten our longtime dental patients.  Our goal is to get those patients back on schedule, and our staff will be reaching out to them soon.”

Dental patients of First Care Clinic, who are waiting to be seen, can expect to receive a text notification to request an appointment with Dr. Kee, or one of the Dental Hygienists.
