Dr. Mark Robbins, MD

My various tests indicated curious markers for some diseases for which I showed NO symptoms. Dr. Robbins had thoroughly reviewed all tests results, including those ordered by other specialists, before my appointment. That made the appointment effective and efficient. He listened carefully to what I was experiencing, and did an excellent job explaining what it all meant. He will continue to work with my other specialists to monitor and manage my condition going forward.

Dr. Robbins is definitely right up there with the worst doctors I’ve ever encountered. My primary referred me to him and made the appointment for me to see him. I sat in the waiting room for a long time before I ever got to even see him. And then he canceled my appointment while I was there in his office. He refunded my parking fee. He said that he was not the right kind of doctor for me and that I needed a psychiatrist. At the time my doctor was trying to figure out what was wrong with me and that’s why she sent me there. It was later discovered I was suffering from a brain injury. He could’ve helped to figure this out possibly if he had run some tests. But he was unwilling to help in anyway. I realize it’s not his department but it doesn’t mean that he could not help guide me to the right area. I wasn’t suffering from any psychiatric illness it was actually a brain injury. He was close but so far off!!! I recommend going to any doctor other than him.

This man is incredibly condescending and unhelpful. He puts little consideration into his diagnosis, and acts like the patient is to blame. He continuously gaslights patients, specifically WOMEN and brushes off actual medical concerns. He is ABLEIST in his approach and does not understand how disabilities can interact with each other- something especially important in his field. It is amazing how much confidence someone can have with such little understanding of humanity. Shame.

Dr Robbins is knowledgeable, relatable and transparent in his communication style.

Dr Robbins so disappointing! Will never refer him to my worst enemy!! He's all about? Suffered for years and he mis-diagnosed me!!! Then tried to cover his a My pain was so awful, he is not a doctor who cares! I'm now at mgh and they put Mark Robbins to shame!

I visited Dr. Robbins for my arthritis. The visit was so disappointing. Dr. Robbins asked some questions and checked my past test results, only to tell me he doesn't know the reason either and he can't think of any other test to run. I was like REALLY? You are a rheumatologist, can't even think better than my internal medicine doctors? My worst feeling was he seem in a hurry the whole time, and didn't even wait for me to finish, and said 'I have to go', and just left. This is so unprofessional.
