This was my initial visit with the provider and I just felt he disregarded my concerns about my medical condition and was pushing for a transplant as the first option.

Dr. Robbins has been my pulmonologist for over a year now & instrumental in diagnosing the issues with my lungs which is a result of an episode of COVID in April of 2022. It took over two years (not with Dr. Robbins) to finally be diagnosed with CTEPH - Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Robbins & his staff coordinating all the tests, procedures, & surgery. They truly listen to my concerns & answer my questions.

Dr Robbins asked about any problems I was having with my medications and my pulmonary rehab appointments. We also discussed problems I was having with my insulin. At the end of our discussion he examined me and ordered a EKG.
