I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Robbins. He cares so much for his patients. There aren't many surgeons that take the time to care for patients like he does. I feel very fortunate to have him as my surgeon. I would recommend him to any one that is in need of a surgeon. I have also used him recently for gallbladder surgery and was once again very pleased with him.

My first impression of Dr. Robbins was very good. He does seem to come across harsh, but I think he sincerely has his patients' best interest at heart. I look forward to being in his care after surgery. The office staff has been wonderful so far.
I heard alot of good thing about Dr. Robbins. I am very confident in his work and would recommend him to anyone. Even though I didn't go through with it 2 years ago I feel that he has a lot more surgeries behind him and he had a whole differnt approach since my last visit in 2003.
Dr. Robbins was very nice and caring. He seems to know what he is talking about. Office staff was nice. I was all ready to have the surgery but found out that my insurance instists on a 6 mo. supervised diet before you can apply to have surgery. That is not Dr. Robbins fault. I am now on my 2nd mo. of my supervised diet. Then I will see Dr. Robbins again. Will update more later.
My first impression of Dr. Robbins, is he is not fooling around about the seriousness of this surgery, and how he conveyed that to my parents that came with me to the appointment. I was lucky enough to attend a luncheon hosted by another surgeon in the same practice with Dr. Robbins and that REALLY help fill in any blanks I had left.
Nothing has changed about him thus far. His staff is great especially "Amy" the coordinator. I guess what I liked less about him is that he did not make sure you understood "ALL" the risk, BUT I did tell him I went to the Luncheon AND had been researching this for over a year, and that had already covered everything.
What future patients should know? Well, I guess if you don't know all the ends and outs ... ask questions. Also THAT HE EXPECTS YOU TO BE LOSING A LITTLE BIT OF WEIGHT FROM FIRST APPOINTMENT TO SURGERY DATE. He does this to make sure your taking this seriously.
He emphasizes EVERYTHING including sending you to a therapist to be sure of your mental understanding the surgery and also you have to attend physical therapy to learn exercise to help tone you skin and improve your health for the surgery. You also have to see a dietitian which they go over EVERYTHING you eat after surgery.
His overall all rating is GREAT!
Which is better, surgical competence, bedside
manner, or both? Surgery went great... His bedside manner is warm and open, I feel like I can ask him anything.
Dr. Robbins seemed very kind and understanding. He was very concerned with ensuring his patients were aware of the lifestyle changes that would take place and that they were ready to make those changes.
I am now 4 days post-op and I still have a high opinion of Dr. Robbins.
