Michael Elias Romero Chung, DO, MBA, earned his medical degree at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Missouri in 2022. He then completed his internship and Family Medicine residency in the Rush-Esperanza Family Medicine Residency program at Rush University in Chicago, Illinois, in 2025. Dr. Chung also holds a Master of Business Administration in healthcare leadership from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. He joined Kelsey-Seybold as a board-certified Family Medicine physician in August 2025.
For Dr. Chung, medicine is a calling that began in childhood and deepened as he watched his immigrant family struggle to navigate the healthcare system – experiences that helped to shape him into the kind of supportive, compassionate physician he continually strives to be. He sees patients from infants through older adults for health maintenance and well checks as well as treatment of acute injuries and illnesses. He also works with patients to manage chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, depression and anxiety, and a variety of other health problems. Dr. Chung is also able to perform osteopathic manipulation when appropriate. As a physician, he most enjoys educating his patients on lifestyle changes that may help them achieve their long-term health goals – finding that with proper guidance, people can really do so much good for themselves.
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Chung approaches patient care like a tour guide, beginning by attentively listening to understand each patient and their desired destination – their health goals. He then creates a personalized “itinerary” that helps them reach those goals and provides direction and resources to empower his patients every step of the way. Dr. Chung also believes care should be personal and holistic, shaped by each patient’s life experiences, values, and goals.
Hobbies & Interests
In his free time, Dr. Chung likes to dance to Latin music, play soccer, and program apps.
