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.

A doctor’s doctor
I saw Dr. Robbins for 20 years until I moved away. He is the most open, ethical and honest doctor I have ever seen. In addition to his outstanding integrity, he is an excellent medical doctor. He is truly a doctor’s doctor. Thank you Dr. Robbins, for the care you provided me.Beth Meyer

My favorite doctor
He always answers questions! He’s very caring and kind! He reminds me of a country doctor who knows his patients even when you’re not in the office. He goes to his patients funerals if possible. Just a great man!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Robbin’s really took time to understand my issues and find the root of the problem. He put a lot of time and knowledge into helping me. He is always very friendly, compassionate and truly cares about helping. He did the absolute most he could do in order to help! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for someone in orthopedics.

Dr. Robbins is the consummate physician
Randy Robbins is not only a very experienced and excellent surgeon, he is a compassionate men who treated me as an individual. His PA, Ryan, possesses the same qualities. When several issues negatively affected my first post-op week due to communication problems between Randy's office and the hospital, he took my complaints seriously, and personally addressed them with the hospital staff. He and I later had an open, honest conversation about the subject, after which I felt not only heard, but fulfilled and affirmed with Randy's support as an advocate for future patients, as my words and his subsequent actions had effected changes to improve their experiences. It is not an overstatement to say that for a physician to contemplate and validate a patient's concern and - as the sole individual with the authority to effect change - address those concerns, it is a mightily rare and truly wondrous thing.

Best Orthopedic Dr
Dr. Robbins is an excellent physician and surgeon. I would recommend him highly for any issue you have that he treats. He is a very caring, thorough physician who takes his time to explain his diagnosis and you don't feel like he rushes you in and out.

TKR both knees
Dr. Robbins and his entire staff are the best. Pre-surgical visits, all the planning, prep and surgery went perfectly. My meds were ready on time. I had everything I needed to make the entire process as seemless as possible. I used the office Physical Therapy facility and it was just as good as everything else. TKR isn't easy but I can't imagine a better experience start to finish anywhere else.

Total Left Hip Replacement
Dr Robbins performed a total hip replacement this April 2022. I was very comfortable to be in their care for the surgery as well as the Physical Therapy afterward with Craig and his team of PT professionals. I can not speak highly enough of Dr Robbins Staff & team’s professional work ethic and care for their patients!

A thinking Orthopedic
This is how a couple of my MD clients referred to him when I was seeking an orthopedic surgeon for my athletic induced joint issues. He analyzes to make certain he has determined the cause of the issue before cutting and he is genuine and kind throughout diagnosis and treatment. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment.
