ABOUT DR. MARK ROBBIN

On August 24, 2013 we lost too soon an exceptional and beloved human being. Mark was our trusted physician, friend, colleague and loved one.

Mark was an "old school" doctor. Cultural and socio-economic boundaries did not exist in Mark's world. He did not wear a white coat nor did he favor being called doctor. He was an extraordinary physician and trusted friend. His loyalty to medicine and his patients was unwavering. Mark loved medicine. He loved the process of diagnosing. He gave unconditionally of his time and resources and expected nothing in return. Mark engaged us and made us feel comfortable and without a doubt made us laugh.

Dr. Robbin exemplified and perfected the art and science of patient care. He was a brilliant man with a huge heart.

Let's keep his name alive in the minds of future doctors
and
let's pay tribute to and say thanks to Mark.
