The doctor asked me questions that were applicable to my need to meet with him. He was kind and professional and asked all the correct professional questions. He also was able to put me on something to make me feel better that no other doctor has thought to prescribe to me. I'm very excited to meet with him again in the near future.

Dr Nate Robbins has been absolutely amazing with me and my Autonomic issues. I am a cery complicated person but he knows me as I started with him when he was at Dartmouth and I followed him to Mass General as SO GLAD I did. No one else understands me. He knows me and helps me tremendously. Without Dr Robbins I am pretty sure without him my Quality of life would be horrible.

It was refreshing to deal with a provider who spoke to me plainly, and I clear terms. No soft fluffy nonsense. Just useful information and sound advice moving forward. My specific case is very convoluted. He took the time and effort required to try to figure me out. Top notch provider.

Although it is difficult to get any appointments with any specialist in Boston within a year, I appreciated I was seen within six months. It was obvious that Dr Robbins had been through my extensive file and for that I was very thankful. He was able to see a broader picture and has a number of things to rule in or out. The testing is apparently booking a year out, but I do look forward to seeing him at MGH once it is done at Faulkner. He is certainly one of the better specialists I've seen. His effort, respect shown and care of listening was truly appreciated.

Dr ROBBINS has been a recent addition to the battery of doctors in my stable. He's a breath of fresh air. I have had some amazing journeys in my search for pain relief in my feet due to neuropathy. I felt that I was at the end of my journey to find pain relief. Dr ROBBINS is taking a completely different direction in an attempt to alleviate my pain. I'm very excited to follow his directions.

Generally I would say this provider is likely highly knowledgeable about the specifics area of expertise but compared to several other providers our family has worked with at MGH could work on curiosity and empathy.
