Chiropractor & Owner
Kelsey Pettitt D.C., C.A.C.C.P.
Dr. Kelsey (Eischeid) Pettitt grew up on a farm right outside of Carroll, Iowa. She is the daughter of Bob and Beth Eischeid. Dr. Pettitt attended Kuemper Catholic High School where she participated heavily in Basketball and Softball.
Dr. Pettitt went on to study exercise science at Iowa State University. Shortly after high school, she met her husband, Wade Pettitt at the Carroll Country Club! After working for a few summers with Wade at the golf course, they both moved to Davenport, Iowa where Dr. Pettitt attended Palmer College of Chiropractic.
Since school, Dr. Kelsey and Wade have opened a clinic in Waukee where they focus on reversing neuropathy naturally! With such great success in the Des Moines Area, they decided they wanted to bring this formula back to their hometown.
The Founders
Wade & Dr. Kelsey Pettitt
Wade also grew up in Carroll, Iowa and attended Carroll High School. He is the fourth oldest of twelve kids. He is a two-time Iowa High School State Golf Champion and continued his career at Indian Hills Community College and Drake University before turning pro in the fall of 2008.
Wade played on professional mini-tours all across North America including the Canadian Tour, Gateway Pro Tour, and the Dakota Tour. The golf course, of all places, is where he and Dr. Kelsey first met.
Wade was introduced to chiropractic care as a young child and was lucky enough to experience the health benefits all throughout his life. As a child, whenever he or any of his siblings were sick, his mother would first take them to see the chiropractor. Getting adjusted helped boost their immune system and fight off illnesses much quicker! Wade is excited to educate the Waukee and Greater Des Moines area on the numerous benefits of neurologically-based chiropractic care.

susan lahaise
Hi, my name is Susan LaHaise. I’m originally from Southern California and my previous employment was as a department manager at Nordstrom and then went on to be a recruiter at Apple One. Following the birth of my sons, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom.
In February 2018, my family started a new chapter in our lives and relocated to Iowa. We’ve met so many wonderful people and I can say “Iowa Nice” is a real thing! I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kelsey and Wade at the Italian Festival in downtown Des Moines that summer. Not only did I find a wonderful chiropractor, I eventually became a part of the Key Potential Chiropractic Team!

Alejandra Ontiveros Corte
Hi, my name is Alejandra Ontiveros Corte. I grew up here in Waukee and attended school here. I am one of the three chiropractic assistants in the office. When I am not working I am studying to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. I did not know what I wanted to do after high school career-wise, but after landing this awesome job and meeting so many great people I knew I wanted to help others holistically in both the American and Hispanic community.
I am the middle child out of 4 kids, so there was never a dull moment in the house. Spanish was my first language; growing up my parents didn't want us to lose the culture as we grew older, therefore we had a "no English in the house" rule. I didn't like the rule growing up, but now I am thankful my parents had us learn the language since I can now help double the number of people.
