Dr. Virginia Ann Robine, DO

I have been a patient of Virginia Robin for 30 years. I have just learned that she is retiring. I spent 30 years because Virginia Robin was a great doctor I will truly miss her.

I have been seeing Dr Virginia Robine for about four years for general health upkeep. I'm 69 yrs old so things pop up. She's very knowledgeable and compassionate, also makes sure I understand what's going on with my health. I never have to wait too long when i have an appointment, plus I like her and feel secure with her as my doctor.

Was an excellent doctor. Unfortunately, my family moved to Columbia. Haven't really found another like her!

I've been using this doctor for my "primary care" for 4 years. My last appointment with her was much like all previous ones, with the exception of her rant. When I tried to ask her about swelling in my hands and feet, she told me to pick one - she could only address one issue per visit. I picked my hands as the pain and swelling was interferring with my work. She proceeded to say that I was simply "soft" and that at my age (56) I needed to toughen up and not worry about every little ache and pain. She said if I'd get off my behind and work out every day like she does, I'd feel better about myself and not be inclined to complain so much. I am not a complainer - in fact was only in her office once a year for 4 years to get a mamo ordered...she did finally agree to send me to a carpal tunnel specialist after I insisted but she told me it was a waste of my time. Long story short, I did go to the carpal tunnel specialist, who discovered that while I did have CPS and needed surgery,… I also have Rhuematoid Arthritis. I will not return to Ms. Robine. After this situation, I thought back over the visits I've had with Ms. Robine and realized that not once, in 4 years had that dr touched me. Never listened to my heart, never looked in my eyes/throat/nose. Never did I sit on the exam table - only in the chair next to her counter where she would lecture me, send me for annual blood tests and mammos. Never had a follow up call on any lab work. And I know she won't care. If you want someone who cares about their patients, find a different person.

I'm very pleased with the staff and Drs. Robine. Immaculate office and patient rooms. I keep recommending them to everyone who asks me about my Doctors. I think anyone who is displeased is related to Ebenezer Scrooge!

I wouldn't recommend this Doctor and his staff to anyone. My new Patient appointment scheduled at 9am didn't happen until 1030. Dr. Robine comes in. I explain my appointment situation and he says if waiting to see the doctor is a big deal you might want to go elsewhere. I walked out.

Extremely rude receptionist! We have been patients there for years and I just tried to make a check up appointment for my daughter. I'm not sure what to do?? We carry our own private insurance so I could switch doctors but....

Leaving this Doctor. Dr. Robine is a good Doctor but her staff treats people like second class citizens. They treat patience like your stupid. I'll never go back.

The last two times I've made an appointment I've had to wait over an hour, once it was over 2 hours. She was supposed to call my antibiotics prescription in for a sinus infection on New Years Eve ( I saw her in the morning, had the results of my chest X-ray by 1 PM) and she didn't. Left messages that my pharmacy closed at 5. Won't be open tomorrow either and now I will have to go to an urgent care clinic and spend more money. Last time I will go there.

I have been seeing Dr. Robine for not quite a year now. However, as of today, not sure I will go back for my next visit. Her staff, - - - -, is horrible and I am just sick of dealing with her. She must really hate her job and needs to find a new one. She is costing Dr. Robine patients and money. This all started with my wrong address, apparently something I did, (I would think I know my own address)????I received a bill for $350.00 for three or four visits about four months after going there. I called to straighten out, was hung up on, finally I contacted bookkeeping myself, etc, made payment arrangements, etc. Bottom line, I really liked Dr. Robine but can't be treated like crap by her staff anymore. She really needs to replace or talk to her staff about their behavior and work ethics.
