Dr. Alina Robert, MD

Dr. Robert is an excellent cardiologist. I trusted her with my life to install 2 stents and would trust her with my life again and again. She has wonderful bedside manners, answered all my questions as well as the questions my wife had and she is an RN with a mind that wants to know, she even dry a picture of the heart and drew where she had placed the stents and also located the other 4 I had from a previous experience, my wife was floored as was I. Dr. Robert and the St. Luke's staff was absolutely outstanding. Kenslee one of the CNA's noticed my femoral artery was bleeding thru the bandage which she noticed right away and put the pressure on it for 30 minutes to stop the bleeding, Thank You Kenslee, you may have saved my life. I am very fortunate to have Dr. Robert as my cardiologist. Thank You Dr. Robert..

Dr. Robert cleared a 95% blockage and placed a stent immediately subsequent to my heart attack. Doctors are not fortune tellers and so though I had three blockages that we knew about, the clot happened in the artery that was only 10% blocked with plaque. This happens because sometimes a 60% blockage of plaque is more stable than a 10% as it's been there a while and less likely to have a piece come loose. If a small adhesion occurs on the build up, the body sees it as an injury and tries to clot it the same as it would any other bleeding. I also had restenosis (essentially a rejection of the stent) and this she reopened with angioplasty 5 months later. We spoke frequently and she always gave me first class attention. I venture to say she saved me ... twice! She is a charming person who cares deeply about her patients and their families. The negative comments here are inexplicable to me. I'll stick with her just as far as I go and I trust her implicitly.

I was very impressed by the tech that did my echo stress test. She was very kind, told me about everything in advance as we went through the procedure. But by the time I got to see Dr. Robert after waiting about 40 minutes for her to get to me, she was rushed, had no bedside manner, and as I was asking questions she was on her way out the door. She didnt address the fact that there was not a note in the computer about my after hours emergency call about my rapid pulse that awoke me out of my sleep in middle of night Over the weekend, that I had to call the St. Lukes answering service about and asked advice on it to a nurse after hours (with no trace of the call). I really like St. Lukes care overall, the office staff, medical assistants and everyone I saw were nice respectful and gave good patient care. But what I received from Dr. Roberts was not patient care, it was more of a quick hi and "follow up with your primary care" as your heart condition is not that severe. Whatever...

Dr Robert saved my life. She is thoughtful, listens to input, never rushes follow up. She is kind and understanding of family during emergency. Highly recommend Dr Robert. St Luke’s staff were great during my emergency and stay.

Dr Robert is my cardiologist and exceptional at listening to my input, and explaining my options for health improvements. I have afib, but have been in sinus rhythm since she successfully performed my cardio version and prescribed control medications. Both have been excellent and have allowed me to return to my active lifestyle. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.

Didn’t address my questions, but only wanted to add a pill to my daily regimen of medications. Skirted some of my issues by changing the subject. No knowledge about ‘referred pain’.... Sketchy background....

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Robert. She took the time to explain my issues thoroughly, and was proactive in getting the tests required to determine the surgery I needed. She took all the time I needed to answer every single question. She personally did my heart Cath and kept me informed during the procedure. Highly Recomend!
