We wish to share the news that Dr. Kinsella will be retiring and hanging up his stethoscope on 6/30/23.

Joining Lake Forest Pediatrics in August of 1989, Dr. Kinsella has been an adored physician at our practice. He was president of the group for 4 years, until 2021, and helped guide the practice through the first part of the COVID pandemic. We wish him well and hope he enjoys more time with his family!

Dr. Kinsella may have already spoken with you, or you may have received a letter from us in the mail, but please know that we wish to avoid any possible interruptions in your child’s care. On our “Meet Our Providers” page, you may find brief bios of other members of our practice. Each are Board Certified in Pediatrics and are on-staff at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital and Lurie Children’s Hospital, and all are dedicated to delivering the best care that every person deserves.
