About Stefanie A. Laystrom, PA-C
Physician assistant Stefanie Laystrom, PA-C, grew up in the Chicago suburbs, but she loves the mountains and sunshine of Arizona. A love for children fuels her passion for her work.
Stefanie received her bachelor's degree in sports medicine from Central Michigan University and worked as a certified athletic trainer at Central High in Phoenix for several years. She graduated with a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Illinois.
When she had an opportunity to return to Arizona and work at Phoenix Children's Mesa Pediatrics, she jumped at the chance. She values Phoenix Children's national and local reputation and the resources it offers.
"Kids are the best! They're smart and hilarious," Stefanie says. "It's so gratifying to help them feel better."
At home, Stefanie acts as chaos coordinator of three children, two silly dogs and a cat. When she has time to herself, Stefanie loves running mountain trails.

Rating & Reviews
Stephanie Lestrom is my child's pediatrician, and she is absolutely wonderful, amazing. And I'm just thrilled to have her as our provider, and love that she is the provider for both of my children. And we'll keep her as long as I can, and also all of the ladies who work there and the nurses who do the shots and everything. I have never had a problem, an issue. They've always been very, very kind with my children, and I just have nothing but good things to say and will always recommend you guys. So, thank you. Bye. Bye.
Stefanie was great! Took time with my child and made her feel as comfortable as possible at 20 months old! Allowed me to explain what was happening without feeling rushed and then responded accurately. She provided clear explanation why we were moving forward with the route we were. She isn't our usually provider but if ours ever retired we would absolutely switch! Thank you PCP team
It's always a good Experience every time we go. The staff of Friendly and Kind.
I so appreciate the care we received from Stefanie and her MA Victoria. These ladies are truly wonderful! Victoria is a professional with shots and ironing out paperwork. Stefanie is thorough and so great with the kids and parents! Thank you ladies for all of your hard work!

Stefanie is great and happy to be following up with her.
Miss Stephanie is great. We see her a few times a year and she remembers us. I always feel like she cares about me and my kids.
Doctor was beyond amazing and helpful. She spent quality time with us and I loved that she asked my child questions throughout as well as asked him permission before touching him. 10/10 will always be coming here. :)
