Experienced. Credentialed. Connected.
Dr. Gillian Housman is a board certified family physician dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to her patients, and is excited to bring the focus of medicine back where it belongs – on people, not paperwork. She became a family physician to build lasting, meaningful relationships with her patients and to improve their overall health and wellbeing – something she found harder to do in traditional healthcare settings.
After years in systems that valued speed and quantity over connection and quality, she wanted something different: a space where medicine could feel personal again. That vision led her to join Kansas City Concierge Medicine, where she can truly listen, provide exceptional care, and walk alongside each patient through all of life’s seasons.
A Georgia native now proud to call Kansas City home, Dr. Housman loves being part of this community with her husband and three children (and their three beloved fur babies). Whether at home or in her practice, she believes in slowing down, finding joy in connection, and caring for people like family.

A Word From Dr. Jacobs
“Patients need to have three items addressed proficiently by their physician: maintaining wellness, treating mild disease, and addressing severe illness. Dr. Housman serves as an excellent partner in all three by her practical approach to problems, her superb depth of knowledge, her easy accessibility, and her warm and nurturing demeanor. I can think of no better partner in health than Dr. Housman.”
