Welcome to the office of Dr. J. Stephen Robinson! Since I founded Lake Area Pediatrics (LAP) in 2005 I have diagnosed and/or treated hundreds of children with ADHD. After retiring from LAP in August 2017, I continued providing "micro-practice" services specifically in ADHD management for many of my former LAP patients.
I now exclusively provide consultation and medication management for patients 5 to 22 years of age.The practice is physically open to see patients one day a week (Wednesday) with 30-60 minute appointments available from 9 AM to 4 PM. but with after-hours services 24/7. Additional appointments may be possible as demand dictates.
I was born in New Jersey, and completed my undergraduate B.S. in Chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York. I enrolled in a combined M.D. - Ph.D program at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) where I also completed my doctorate in Biological Chemistry in 1973 and obtained my medical diploma in 1975. I stayed on at UCLA to complete a three-year residency in Pediatrics. While on the adjunct teaching staff of UCLA Medical School, I practiced Emergency Pediatric medicine and completed my Masters degree in Public Health with an emphasis on international health/nutrition.
Beginning in 1980 I spent three years in Africa working in Tunisia, Liberia, and Congo Republic for CARE as their African Regional Public Health Advisor. I met my wife, Janet (a Texan), while in Liberia, West Africa and returned to the U.S. to marry in 1983. I continued my Emergency Pediatric service in Los Angeles for six years.
