I'm shocked! I was looking at potential referral sources for my partner and the twists and turns in this are scarey. So sorry to hear of this and lose another Jayhawk, music fan....! Not being an avid paper reader, and not practicing for some time, I had missed this. My sincerest condolences to the family.

I was so shocked to hear of this very special Dr.'s passing Tuesday morning when his nurse called to tell me. Dr. Sumpter gave my husband a few extra years when he came down with heart problems.

I was shocked to learn of the passing of DR. Matthew Sumpter. The time of his death, Dec. 31, 2017, was exactly the time my son, Brian, passed, Dec. 31,2015. Not only was I a patient of Matt's but also a good friend. I will always remember the time spent with him at the Boy Scout camp at Lake San Isabel. R.I.P. Matt. ,
