Come Experience our Everyday Life Relocating to a new city can be an overwhelming and challenging process as there are many things to consider. Prospective residents are faced with the decision of where to buy a home, if the area is a good place to raise a family, if it’s a good community to retire in, how the economic landscape looks, and the list goes on. But relocating can also be a fun and exciting experience with the potential for growth and a new way of life. That’s exactly what David and Natalie Fieleke saw when they considered the move back in 2011. The couple met in college at Truman State, married after graduation and attended graduate school at the University of Missouri. Both being Missouri residents, the Lee’s Summit reputation preceded itself. They were both familiar with the area, so upon graduating at Mizzou they were eager to accept jobs in Lee’s Summit and start a long-term residence here!

There are no competitors among industry professionals, we work together and everyone is always ready to help,” explained Dr. Fieleke.
David graduated with a doctorate degree in Dermatology and Natalie with a degree in Journalism and Marketing. Upon their move, Dr. Fieleke practiced at St. Luke’s East and Truman Medical Center – Lakewood and was able to make professional relationships through the Lee’s Summit Chamber of Commerce.

Natalie’s degree also became a great asset when Dr. Fieleke opened his own practice.
Dr. Fieleke’s work in Dermatology evolved slowly until the opportunity came to open his own practice, Cornerstone Dermatology & Surgery Group, in 2018. “It was challenging, scary and not the easy path, but worth it. We knew we did not want to leave Lee’s Summit and I’m proud of
