Overview
I am a board-certified radiation oncologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I enjoy caring for patients with a broad range of cancers. Spending time with patients is my favorite part of the job and I enjoy working with my patients and their caregivers to determine how radiation fits into their overall goals of cancer care. When not seeing patients, I enjoy spending time with my husband on our farm.

Duke Cancer Center Radiation Oncology
I am a radiation oncologist, who specializes in treating head and neck and skin cancers. I chose this career path after watching an amazing friend receive treatment for a voice-box tumor. Her experience inspired me to dedicate my life to helping people like her. The relationships I develop with my patients, their families, and the clinical team are key to clinical success. By educating my patients about their cancers and treatment options, answering questions, and working together to develop a treatment plan, I empower my patients and provide the support they need to get through their treatments. I value being part of a skilled multidisciplinary team focused on providing compassionate and top-notched clinical care. I strive to constantly improve head and neck cancer treatments and am grateful to be able to offer cutting-edge clinical trials options to my patients. Outside of work, I treasure time with my family typically spent in outdoor activities including hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, running, kayaking, skiing, traveling, and playing/watching sports. We enjoy being active in the community and engaging in good causes. Dr. Robbins is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Laryngeal Cancer.
