Care Philosophy: Excellence inpatient care above all else

Care Philosophy: A note from Dr. Robinson: I remember when I was about 12, my mother gave me a pamphlet to read discussing the female reproductive system. She asked me if I had any questions but I could tell by the look on her face that she was praying I did not ask any. I could feel her discomfort about the subject and this was from a woman who had nine kids! Those subjects were just not discussed. I was born into the baby boomer generation and was raised to be a Steel Magnolia so I went to the library and read everything I could get my hands on concerning the female body and all of its capabilities. I was amazed and knew then that I wanted to study the female body and help future adolescent and adult females understand their bodies and be comfortable discussing any issues or concerns they may have. I have never regretted my decision to study and practice obstetrics and gynecology. I love the idea that I can care for my patients from the moment they are conceived into their golden years.

Care Philosophy: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Care Philosophy: I chose to work in the field of women's health care because I am a good listener and demand dedication and self improvement constantly in order to be able to provide wellness at the level of the patients' satisfaction and personal needs. Dedication and discipline is a gift that I naturally have.
