Fraad Department of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Jacobi Medical Center in New York.  Dr. Robinson completed her fellowship training in Pediatric Endocrinology at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.  Prior to joining Mount Sinai, she was an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Section of Endocrinology at Yale School of Medicine. 

Dr. Robinson’s expertise is in pediatric metabolic bone diseases.  She is the director of The Mount Sinai Pediatric Bone Health Program and she is seeing patients in the weekly Pediatric Bone Health Clinic and cares for children and adolescents with:

• Osteoporosis
• Vitamin D disorders
• Disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism
• Hypophosphatasia (HPP)
• Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)
• Hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH)
• Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS)
• Skeletal dysplasias

The purpose of the Pediatric Bone Health Clinic is to provide comprehensive care to infants, children, and adolescents regarding their bone health. Childhood is a critical time for attainment of bone mass, which impacts lifelong skeletal health. For children with rare bone diseases such as bone fragility or heritable forms of rickets, early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to ensure proper bone health.  Children can also be at risk for developing low bone mass, osteoporosis and multiple fractures due to an underlying chronic disease. Early identification of the risk factors and prevention of osteoporosis through modifications in nutrition, physical activity, calcium and vitamin D intake are key to optimize bone health in children. Dr. Robinson offers individualized assessment and care-plans for each patient, including:

• Clinical evaluation for screening and diagnosis of metabolic bone disorders
• Laboratory evaluation of bone minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus and vitamin D metabolites
• Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone mineral density
• Genetic testing for rare bone and mineral disorderssuch as osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatemic rickets and hypophosphatasia
• Treatment as indicated, including Bisphosphonate infusions

Clinical Focus

• Osteoporosis
• Rickets
• Vitamin D Deficiency
