Voted “Best Pediatrician” in Readers’ Choice
Post Date: 1404964800
Status: hidden
Lake Forest Pediatric Associates was voted “best pediatrician” in the 2014 Readers’ Choice Top Picks sponsored by the Daily Herald. Adults and teens submitted ballots to identify “top picks” in a wide range of categories, including health care. Lake Forest Pediatrics is proud to join three other practices as a top vote getter in the pediatrics category.
This distinction reflects the priority that we place on delivering sensitive, family-focused care. Our pediatricians, nurse practitioners and staff receive high marks from satisfied parents and we are always looking for new ways to provide even better service. For example, our Lake Bluff office is now open until 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday to meet the needs of busy families.

As your child’s healthcare providers, you can be sure that we focus on the health of your child and family. Some of our patients have tried the retail-based clinics often found in pharmacies and other retail locations. These clinics pride themselves on getting patients in, making a quick diagnosis, and getting patients out the door with purchased medications in hand. You should know that our practice and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have some concerns.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a strong stand against Retail-Based Clinics, stating that it “opposes retail-based clinics as an appropriate source of medical care for infants, children, and adolescents and strongly discourages their use.”
The AAP supports a model of care called the medical home, which provides accessible, family-centered, comprehensive, continuous, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective care for which the pediatrician and family share responsibility.
Retail-based clinics don’t have access to your child’s complete medical history and are making diagnoses based on incomplete information.
Retail-based clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants with no physician on site to help these providers. While our nurse practitioners had a full two years of pediatric-specific training, there is no minimum pediatric training required of these practitioners at the retail clinics. Lake Forest Pediatrics will only staff Board Certified physicians and pediatric nurse practitioners.
No one reviews these clinics for compliance and quality issues the way that our office is reviewed.
There is no such thing as a “minor illness” when it comes to children. We use these “minor illness” visits to identify other, potentially more serious issues. We also use this time with you to stay current on the events in your family and child’s lives.
Getting routine care for your child should be done by your pediatrician who knows you and your family.
Our office works hard to ensure that we meet your needs as your children’s medical home. We’re open 365 days year (including Sundays and holidays), and can usually accommodate same-day appointments. You can be sure that you will get the highest quality care from us, in a way that works for you and your family. We welcome your suggestions about how we can serve you better, and we thank you for your trust.

A letter from Dr. Arthur Lasin – Retirement
Post Date: 1372636800
Status: archived
Dear Parents, Patients, Family and Friends:
I will be retiring from Lake Forest Pediatrics and from the active practice of Pediatrics on June 30, 2013.
Confucius said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I have been fortunate to have a career which I truly loved. However, I feel this is the right time to explore new horizons.
I have been blessed to have been at Lake Forest Pediatrics for 43 years. During that time, I ahve been grateful you have allowed me into the lives of your families and the privilege of caring for your most valuable possession — your children. I hope that I have contributed to their well-being during my career. I know your children have enriched my life and they have taught me many of my life experiences.
I am leaving the practice of pediatrics — a lot older, a little wiser, and still in awe of the magnificence of children.
I would like to wish all of you the gift of health, happiness and well-being.
With my best regards,
Arthur J. Lasin, M.D.
