Getting to Know the Doctor:
Dr. Robinson
The relationship between physician and patient is very important and can be personal. We
want you to be able to connect with your doctor at a personal level to create a lasting relationship. In this edition of our blog, we asked Dr. Robinson several questions about her personal life so you can get to know him better. Enjoy!
Why did you become a pediatrician?
“I was a camp counselor at Camp Riley, when I was in undergraduate school, and I fell in love with the kids there.”
What do you love the most about your family?
“As a whole, we love doing outdoor activities together and traveling to new places, and we are also open to new ideas and adventures.”
Tell us something about yourself that makes you unique.
“I recently became interested in participating in sprint triathlons because my husband loves to do them. I am training in some capacity.”
What is the coolest/most unique thing you have ever done?
”One of the coolest things I have ever done was hiking in Nepal with the views of Mt. Everest and the Himalayas off in the distance, as well as meeting the amazing people of Nepal. It was also entertaining to see the yaks loaded down with supplies and to hear their bells signaling their approach.”
What is your ideal vacation?
“I would say any trip that requires hiking and exploring, being exposed to new places and cultures.”
What do you like to do during your free time?
“I spend much of me free time gardening. I love tending to the plants and preparing and serving the vegetables that come from my garden. When I can’t garden, I love to read.”
If you had to pick one word to describe yourself, what would that be?
“Active. I am not very good at sitting still.”
What makes Carmel Pediatrics special to you?
“Our staff and the obvious commitment they each feel to providing excellent care to patients, and their ability to care for ALL families.”
Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself?
“I believe it is important to always learn, and each day in my office is an opportunity to learn from patients and their families.”
