Dr. Ryan Steele, MD, FAAP

I am the newest physician at Leawood Pediatrics!  I am honored and so excited to have the opportunity to work with kids here in Kansas City.  I'm passionate about high quality and comprehensive care for children of all ages.  I prioritize family and patient-centered decision making, ensuring that every child's unique needs are met with compassion and expertise.  I will work to ensure that your child is the happiest and healthiest that they can be by providing excellent care and consistently supporting you are as a parent.

I graduated with honors from the University of Kansas with a degree in Human Biology.  After that, I pursued my medical education at the University of Arkansas, where I earned by my MD and a Master of Public Health.  I then completed my residency at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and I was honored to then serve an additional year as Chief Resident.  During that time, I gained valuable leadership experience and further developed my clinical skills.

While I have a particular interest in sports medicine, I genuinely enjoy all aspects of pediatrics, from newborn care through adolescence.  I believe that the best way to care for patients is to meet the individual needs of each child and family, working together as a team to do what's best for every child.

On a personal note, I'm married to my wonderful wife, Ryland, and we welcomed our son in late 2023.  Experiencing the same milestones as a parent that so many of my patients go through has been incredibly enriching.  In our free time, we love going to the lake, taking ski trips, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. 

I'm currently accepting new babies and new patients of all ages.  You can also find me on staff to care for newborns at Overland Park Regional and Advent Health Shawnee Mission.

I look forward to meeting you and your family and providing the dedicated and personalized care that your child deserves.
