Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Friendly and professional
While I had been a patient of Dr. Robinson’s practice for many years, this was my first visit with Dr. Robinson as my former ophthalmologist had retired. I found him to be very thorough and informative and I found that I made an excellent choice. I and my family are very happy with him as our doctor for this important part of our health care.

This was an emergency visit
He was professional, kind, thorough. I called twice- two weekends in a row for this particular eye problem. He saw me no problem and fit me right in. He helped me when I was in pain and educated me with my eye problem. I would definitely recommend him.

thorough, efficient, easy manner
I waited very little time to be taken back for the beginning of the appointment, and the medical assistant who ran the early tests explained each test as she undertook it. Dr. Robinson, whom I was seeing for the first time, tested and confirmed the assistant's findings, performed a thorough examination of my retinas, discussed options for his findings, and ultimately suggested no specialized treatment was needed at the moment. Through all that, he explained his findings and their implications in ways that made sense. Even with dilation on my pupils, I was out in less than an hour and on my way home.

Great doctor
Making an appointment was easy. Very short wait time for exam. Dr Robinson is very personable, knowledgeable & takes the time to explain all aspects of the eye exam. Had him for cataract removal a couple years ago & was very pleased. He is very caring & I would highly recommend him.
