I am generally afraid of doctors, but that all changed since I have been seeing Dr. Robins. He takes the time to listen and talks to you not down at you
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins takes the time needed to be thorough and kind in discussing complex medical issues. I always feel heard and respected. Even though he was careful to say that he may or may not be able to find answers for me, he made it clear that he cared and would be thorough in trying to do so. I left feeling hopeful and clear about our next steps. MUCH better experience discussing this issue than with most providers I've seen in the 20+ years I've had this problem. If nothing else, being treated like a human means SO MUCH.

I didn't feel he listened to me when I said I had the sinus infection for quite awhile and I felt the only thing that would help would be an antibiotic - He gave me Sudafed that did nothing to help in 2 days I went to Urgent Care in St. Helens and got an antibiotic - by then I had pink eye from infection when I called your office to get eye drops. They said I would have to come in again - after I had been there just days before - NOT HAPPY!

Dr Robins responded quickly and thoughtfully when significant high blood pressure was discovered during a routine examination. Personally followed up with me at home with a second consultation and therapeutic advice.

The E-checkin is SUPER laborious. Way too long. Additionally, I can't schedule visits via MyChart because LH requires a text validation method and I never receive your texts.

Appointment was changed because of double booking. I got Four emails requesting online check in, even after having completed it.

Lucky me to have such a qualified, intelligent snd caring person on your staff. Too bad you can't clone him! He's the best!

I had to change providers because my old provider retired. I needed to renew all of my prescriptions to Dr Robins. Since then, I have not been able to get any of my prescriptions. Caremark has request renewal of my 7 prescriptions and the office has only responded to one renewal. In the mean time, I am running out of medications. I need help and the office refuses to take my calls. I need help.

Dr. Robins is an excellent provider - good listener thorough, compassionate and practical - exactly what I value in a doctor. I do have a complaint about the info. (lack of) provided by the Legacy lab prior to obtaining blood work. You may call me to inquire about the lab - I don't usually have issue with them but this time was different.

Dr. Robins is compassionate, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and helpful in every way. He is a very good listener and somehow remembers many of the details of my fairly extensive medical history.

The MA who put me in a room was more competent than some I have had previously, so that was nice. Unfortunately, with the Epic and other EMR, providers spend a lot of room time on the computer. Dr Robins handles this better than some other providers I have had.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins was exceptionally kind and attentive. He was also flexible in creating a plan that was in alignment with my my concerns. Superior physician.

Dr Robins is great. I've seen him for years and recommended him to my grandmother. She likes him too. He's a patient, kind doctor who listens and when he doesn't know an answer he figures out who does. (Rare tho. He knows most answers!)
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins is a gem...kind, interested, direct and patient. He always takes whatever time is needed to address issues and never makes me feel rushed. All the staff at that clinic are friendly and respectful. I would have no concerns referring anyone to this provider and I HOPE HE NEVER LEAVES!!!

A fine doctor!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Robins and his team are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. My visits are always efficient but I never feel rushed or hurried. I feel like Dr. Robins is especially keyed into my specific health picture and his guidance has led me to lose weight and improve my blood pressure in a way that was nonjudgmental and supportive. The front desk staff is especially friendly and warm and it is a pleasure to come to the office.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I enjoy Dr. Robins more with each visit and have come to respect him quite a bit. I am new to him, about 18 months. To form a relationship that is truly beneficial to both parties takes time an attention by both parties. I have never had an appt with Dr Robins that I have not made him late for his next appointment and where we have left things unsaid. I feel it is acutely unfair to pressure Dr Robins to perform under this type of pressure. It is, of course, also potentially unsafe as well as unnerving to me as the patient. I feel that this is mostly unfair to Dr. Robins. I have been with this clinic I think for 40+ years and this is only my 4th physician. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to comment.

The visit was great.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Robins is an exceptional PCP that took time to thoroughly investigate symptoms, medications, and pharmacological alternatives that offer potential efficacy. In addition to effective evaluation of the micro/acute physical symptoms that resulted in my visit, he was also able to make accurate observations and assess my macro emotional affect as well.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.

Dr. Robins is warm and affable while being knowledgeable and efficient (and not paternalistic).I tried to make an appointment on my phone with the Legacy lab near his office and the website hung. I couldn't do in in the app either. I just walked there. Luckily, they were not busy.

Dr. Robins has a wonderful bed side manner - calm, thoughtful, personable - and a breadth of knowledge about how medicine, medications and testing Impact the human body in specific age related terms. I appreciate his professionalism as much as I do his subtle and charming sense of humor. Dr. Robins is my third GP with Legacy Clinic and my first male GP. He's exactly what I need as a [age removed] year old but because of his empathy and compassion he'd be amazing with anyone identifying with any pronoun. I have recommended him to friends and acquaintances. Thanks.

This was a last minute appointment I made. The staff got me in very quickly. This was the first time I met with this doctor. He was professional, friendly, and easy to understand. Most importantly, I trusted his prognosis and recommendations for my situation.

My negative experiences deal with legacy laboratory services. It is frustrating that they are unable to do throat and rectal swabs for STIs and instead I am required to see my PCP for this
