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.

With Appreciation
I’ve been seeing Dr. Robbins for many years and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From our first session, I felt respected, heard, and understood. Dr. Robbins creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I can openly discuss my concerns without fear of criticism.What stands out most is his unwavering professionalism and dedication to my well-being. He takes the time to truly listen and tailor his approach to my individual needs, offering thoughtful insights and practical strategies. I always feel that Dr. Robbins has my best interests at heart, and it’s clear he is genuinely invested in helping me make progress.It’s rare to find a healthcare provider who combines expertise with empathy and sincerity. I’m grateful to have Dr. Robbins as my psychiatrist—he’s been a reliable support throughout my journey, and I couldn’t ask for a better doctor. Highly recommend!

Providing the Best Possible Care. . .
We've worked with Dr. Robbins for about twenty years. We wouldn't make a move without him. We have a son on the spectrum. Dr. Robbins keenly understands the brain and was the first person to explain autism to us in a way that made sense. He is the consummate professional. We selected him b/c he could provide our son with the best possible care. That's what we received. He truly made a difference in our son's life. We have recommended him several times.

I too am surprised by the negative review. We’ve been seeing Dr. Robbins for a couple of years. He has played a key part in our kids success in dealing with anxiety and ADHD. He’s fantastic.

Our child with autism has been seeing Dr. Robbins for a number of years. As parents, we appreciate Dr. Robbins whole person approach - beyond therapy Dr. Robbins monitors physical health and well being as diligently as a primary care physician. His calm and patient demeanor is one our child finds easy to. As a result he is able to elicit meaningful feedback from a child who only interacts well with trusted individuals. Dr. Robbins is constantly evaluating and assessing. He is very accessible and responsive - answers all questions, adjusts the regimen to accommodate new circumstances. When we need help with paperwork for school or extracurricular activities, or are in need of special arrangements, he is there. For example, we were out of town and forgot our child's meds - he and his staff worked with an out of town pharmacy to ensure there would be no interruption to our child's regimen. He has also adapted well to conducting remote consultations thru teleconferencing.

I'm surprised by the low scores. Our family has used Dr. Robbins practice for many years and I regularly refer him to other parents with children who have ADHD. I am impressed that he ensures that he is up to date on all of the latest research regarding ADHD and is willing to work with patients on finding correct treatment options (i.e. medications) even if it takes many tries to find the right mix.

A 27 year personal and professional relationship severed as a result of a miscommunication. Sent many referrals to Dr. Robbins over the years and feedback was he is pompous. I never felt that way until today.- all over a misunderstanding. I called today to reestablish a professional relationship. I have lost my psychiatrist and a friend.
