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 Teratocarcinosarcoma.

I am a radiation oncologist specializing in the treatment of head and neck cancers. I am passionate about helping patients to navigate the life changes surrounding the diagnosis and treatment for head and neck cancers. I chose a career in oncology because I empathize with patients and families owing to my own, close, family member's journey with cancer. My research interests include investigating new ways to make head and neck radiation better-tolerated. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, trying new foods, and watching cat videos.
