Being in the exam room waiting to meet Dr Robinson, I was so nervous. I was so afraid, thinking what could they possibly do or say here to help me? When I met Dr Robinson, I was so impressed in the instant dive into my mysterious condition as if I became a top priority. My case was reviewed and discussed with me so thoroughly. As I listened, I had developed confidence in the care I was receiving. She told me the steps to be taken, the departments that would be involved and why. So interesting. This was big. She got the ball rolling- and fast. I thought: Oh my, this is wonderful. I have hope!

I was incredibly lucky to get Dr. Robinson as my oncologist. She is switched on - and for what I need, personally, she's the perfect balance of being steady, knowledgeable, and credible while getting straight to the heart of any issue I bring up. She takes the time to explain her rationale for treatment recommendations in a way that is thorough. And trust me, my husband has a bazillion questions at every appointment. She addresses my concerns without ever glossing over them. She, as well as [name], have helped me brainstorm how I can manage my condition while still keeping my demanding job. I always feel like I'm in excellent hands with her. While she takes a thoughtful, conservative approach to certain treatments, it's 100% clear she stays up to date on the latest research and cutting-edge approaches. Her care, expertise, and approach are truly exceptional and always appreciated.
