After earning an electrical engineering degree with a bioengineering emphasis from Kansas State University, Dr. McConeghey completed both his doctorate of medicine and his general surgery residency at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He is board-certified in general surgery and licensed with the Kansas State Board of Healing and Medical Arts. “When I was a child, I had cancer,” said Dr. McConeghey. “My experiences with the medical field at an early age sparked my interest in becoming a doctor. Being able to diagnose a problem for a patient, treat that problem with surgery and then have the patient feel better — that’s the most rewarding aspect of what I do.” Dr. McConeghey treats a broad spectrum of diseases that may require surgical treatment.
