She had read my file thoroughly and was well-prepared for my consultation and examination. She asked careful questions and discussed all aspects of my care thoroughly. She also made sure I understood everything, and answered all of my questions. And she was relaxed and personable, as well.

Dr Robinson is very attentive, she listens when you have a concern and she answers any questions you have in a way you understand. That's important when there are so many medical terms it's a bit much.

Dr Patricia Robinson is the best Oncologist ever! She is kind, patient, and understanding to my needs. When I needed medicine that was going to cost me $2000 for a 90 day supply she found a pharmacy that only charged me $40. I would never be able to afford this medicine without her help. She always looks for ways to help me. I have had her as my doctor for over 10 years at another hospital. Even though I have to travel farther to see her I would go the extra distance because I trust her and know I’m getting excellence in her care.

Through family and friends dealing with cancer, I’ve met several oncologists at two of the best cancer centers of excellence in NYC. Dr. Robinson is of equal talent. She may be the clearest medical communicator I have ever met. She speaks clearly and succinctly, covers every aspect of every alternative, invites questions and spent more time with me than any of the other physicians I’ve met with at Northwestern. The woman is a gem and Northwestern should do whatever it can to retain her.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
