Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Robinson performed a quadruple bypass on me. A month later I needed to have my entire sternum removed and my chest reconstructed because of a massive staph infection. Dr Robinson minimalized what I was going through. He has the worst attitude I have ever experienced in a doctor.

In my experience with Dr. Robinson, the rush was evident from the start. The doctor's approach seemed more focused on ticking off boxes than on understanding the depth of my health concerns. Attempts to articulate my issues were met with swift and concise responses, giving me the impression that there was no space for a more in-depth conversation. He lacked any sort of empathy or compassion. Complete waste of time...

Ruined my heart and caused lymphedema.
Had aortic valve replaced by Newall Robinson. He put in the wrong size valve and had to have it removed and the proper size instilled. Damaged my lymph vessels during the operation which required 2 more operations and left me disabled. Find another doctor.

Professional knowledgeable kind courtesy. After speaking to Dr. Robinson for 1 minute I knew he would be operating on me. The man is a genius. I had the mimumely invasive surgery. Went from having a bad murmur to absolutely no murmur. Blood pressure is averaging 115-120 over 67-75 from 140/80. Need I say more. I have to follow up with the office everything went well. His office and all of his doctors and nurses are great as well.

Do not go to this doctor. I called to make an appointment and at the same time asked if he accepted my insurance. The answer was yes so I made the appointment. When I arrived I gave his office my insurance card and no ever told me he does not accept United HealthCare. I saw Dr. Robinson for less than five minutes and a few weeks later got a bill for $1,500. In the less than five minute I saw him, he lost my scans and medical records, recommended the wrong procedure.

#DrNewellRobinson #StFrancisHospital #deceived My husband was told he needed valve replacement surgery in October 2014. We proceeded to make consultation appointments with three cardiothoracic surgeons. Upon making the appointments, I confirmed that all three accepted our health insurance. We saw Dr Newell Robinson for an appointment that lasted no more than 5 minutes. A month later we received an invoice for $1,428.00 for Dr. Newell Robinson. Upon calling his office, I was then told that he was
