Selling Shareholder

                 The Clinic, an Arizona professional corporation, operates a
multi-specialty medical clinic in Mesa, Arizona and maintains four satellite
locations in the area.  The Clinic's principal office is located at 3921 East
Baseline Road, Gilbert, Arizona 85234.

                 The Company, through PhyCor-Mesa, acquired substantially all
of the assets of the Clinic pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  In connection
therewith, the Company issued the Purchase Note to the Clinic in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act").  On June 28, 1996, the Clinic converted the Purchase Note,
in accordance with its terms, into 39,592 shares of PhyCor Common Stock.
34,178 of such shares (the "Resale Shares") are to be resold by the Clinic in
accordance with the terms of the Prospectus.  The remaining shares were
distributed to certain of the Clinic's existing shareholders on a pro rata
basis.


Plan of Distribution

                 This Supplement relates to the reoffering of the Resale Shares
by the Clinic.  The Clinic has designated Equitable Securities Corporation
("Equitable"), a registered broker-dealer, as agent for the resale of the
Resale Shares.  The Resale Shares will be sold in private or block transactions
in the over-the-counter market (including the Nasdaq Stock Market's National
Market) or otherwise at fixed prices which may be charged, at market prices
prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
price, or at negotiated prices.  Equitable has agreed to use its best efforts
to sell such shares on behalf of the Clinic.  The Clinic and/or Equitable may
effect such transactions by selling the Resale Shares to or through other
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Clinic, Equitable and/or the
purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to
whom they may sell as principal or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions).  The Clinic and/or
Equitable and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the
shares being sold hereby may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act, and any commissions received by (or
discounts allowed to) them and any profit on the resale of the shares as
principal may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
