I appreciate Dr Robey's visits in hospital and in the post op exam at the office. He is very personable and has the gift of listening--of really tuning in to a patient--which to me is all important. He clearly explains reasons for surgery, treatment and after care. If ever I grew another gallbladder and It was in trouble, I'd knock on his office door! Thank you.

I'm very pleased I chose him to explain the risks and benefits of surgery should it turn out I need it. Whether or not surgery is needed will depend, in part, on upcoming imaging. If surgery is needed, I will certainly choose him to do it.
