Dr. Cynthia M. Dean

I am a board-certified pediatrician who graduated from the University of Missouri with my undergraduate degree in 2000. I then went on to Kansas City University of Medicine and Bioscience for medical school, where I graduated in 2005.

I did my pediatric residency at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. I finished residency in 2008 and started a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology. In 2009, with two young children, I decided general pediatrics was actually my passion. So, I transitioned to outpatient primary care and joined Lee’s Summit Physicians Group (now Community Choice Pediatrics), working primarily out of the Raintree location.

When the Blue Springs location opened in 2010, I began working full-time there. I’ve been lucky to work with amazing families who have been with me for more than 10 years!

I’ve been happily married for 18 years. My husband is a youth soccer coach, and we are both very invested in this community. I have four amazing and very busy children, so there is never a dull moment! I enjoy spending most of my time outside the office with my family, watching my kids’ sports activities and exercising with my husband.

“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that means that an entire community of people must interact with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. I feel privileged to be a part of my patients’ and their families’ “villages.”.
