Patient Rating
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. It works like this: Real patients give us feedback through Press Ganey, a patient satisfaction survey company. They verify and confirm the results. National Research Corporation, an independent company, provides the technology to show the ratings and comments on our website

I like Dr Robins. It will take a little more time to establish a level of rapport that I like to have in my health care professionals but I think he has great potential as a good fit for me and I'm glad to have chosen him as my new PCP. Now all I need is a little more time.

Dr robins is a good listener and very helpful and conscientious
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Good listener, attentive and technically knowledgeable (at least as far as I am able to tell-I trust him). Also appreciate the soundness of advice keeping it as simple yet realistic as possible and not jumping to potentially more complex solutions right away yet being very careful with the evaluation of apparent conditions/symptoms. Really appreciate that approach.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
First visit with this primary care provider. Doctor was recommended and selected in part by my former PCP who has left Legacy Health to live in Europe. Dr Van Hauve made a good recommendation for me.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Very thorough on each visit. Answers all my questions .
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Robins. A little over a year I started seeing him because during a hospital stay I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. With Dr. Robins guidance help my A1C went from over 11% to 5.5%.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
We (my husband and I) had been patients of Dr. van Havre and we were so pleased with her care. She recommended Dr. Robins and this was our 1st visit with him. We liked him very much and are pleased to have him as our Dr. We found his suggestions about our health very helpful and practical. We received immediate results from a test we had with him after we returned home.

I was very pleased with the visit.

Had never visited this office previously or had any contact with the physician I saw. My primary care physician's office had recommended this specialist's office. Excellent service!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins was thoughtful, and courteous. He was well informed of my situation. His instructions were clear and concise about going forward & taking care of my situation.

First visit with this doctor as my previous primary care doctor moved away. Dr. Robins seems very kind, interested and informative. Would have given him an even higher rating but this was my first visit ever with him.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins really listened to me and was very thorough and a good communicator.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins is the best doctor I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I have had such bad experiences with healthcare providers in the past and has helped me overcome my discomfort with and fear of visiting the doctor's office. He takes his time, remembers details about me and my life and treats me more like a friend than a patient. He's never in a rush, yet he's always running on time. He is the kind of brand ambassador you want representing your institution and I hope you do everything in your power to hang on to him. He is one of a kind.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have found over the past two years with my doctor that we seems to communicate well with each other. I am glad to have him as my PCP.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Robins made time in his busy schedule for a last minute appointment. I was so impressed with his flexibility and willingness to see me right away, as I was leaving town that day. Great service and follow through!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
He did use some terminology that was hard for me to understand, but was very helpful. He followed up right away about my lab tests and called in prescriptions for me right away.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins was friendly, professional, informed, and easy to understand. I feel very well taken care of under his care.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.

Dr. Robins was very polite and respectful. This was our first time meeting, but I felt like he knew all about my medical history, and listened to all my concerns.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I'll probably be changing to this provider. He seems competent, unjaded, and still appears to put patient care over bureaucracy.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Robins is good at diagnostics but less good at treatment. He sometimes appears to do as little as possible for his patients.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Excellent visit- dealt with two concerning issues received a printout immediately of our visit including what tests were needed-had blood test/xray right after seeing doctor and received the results the next morning. Plus a message from Dr. Robins clarifying the results plus what OTC to use at home. Was relieved that had only minor issues that were taken care of so well.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I was very pleased to get my lab tests back soon. (I was worried about pre-diabetes.) Dr. Skye was very attentive but didn't order new drug for my high blood pressure right away, but urged me to take my blood pressure at home and send him the readings first.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I was delighted with my care from everyone at the clinic. Dr. Robins was timely, knowledgeable, courteous, interested, friendly and respectful. We had a very productive and professional visit.

My regular doc has retired and recommended Dr. Robins - haven't had many appts. with him.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was my first visit with Dr. Robins. [details deleted to protect privacy] As for our meeting yesterday, Dr. Robins was excellent. He covered my full health range, checked me over, answered all my questions and requested me to do certain things prior to our next visit. He was relaxed, direct, and made me feel "right at home" during his health interview! As the clinic had made no calls to me for some time requesting me to make an appointment for my annual physical, I asked that, in the future, this be done. He simply said, " Make an appointment as you leave today, and I'd like to see you in six months!" That I did! I am pleased with the results......

I really enjoyed Dr. Robins he was very nice I've been to him before when Dr. Savranfky was busy

Dr. Robins spent more than his fair share of time w/me as his patient. Keep the good work up.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I relocated to the United States after living for twelve years in [location deleted]. I brought all my medical records with me from [location deleted], and Dr. Robins is always careful to check those records for additional background information on my chronic medical conditions.

Dr Van Haven's medical assistant provided immediate response and referral to Dr Robins who quickly ordered [details deleted to protect privacy] to treat early a serious issue. Legacy provides the "ideal health care" ... a condition that should be example for many US cities. Thank you

Excellent physician and assistant. Some of the Medicare protocols for "Wellness" visits are ridiculous, but such is life with government funded healcare.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My primary, John Oppenheimer, also checked in with suggestions after my visit with Dr. Robins.
Dr. Robins showed great insight into the results of my TAVR surgery, and made a diagnose which my cardiologist had missed, and made further explanations of the affects of the surgery. He gave me new confidence in the results of the procedure.
