Saw Dr. Robinson for the first time about a month and a half ago for Valley Fever Diagnosing. I found him under Specialty Disease Doctors. My first visit I expressed my concerns that I think I have Valley Fever (I knew I did). He was blunt and hurried me out with a referral for blood work and a chest X-Ray. I had them done and about two weeks later, I went for my results. He looked green and sick when he read my results. He said "you actually have Valley Fever.........most people who come in thinking they have it, don't". I already knew I had it from symptoms. Then he said "you should be on Anti Fungal meds but I need to run this by my partner in the morning" I asked why and he told me she's the disease specialist. I was very confused. He said "didn't you know I'm only a Primary Care Doctor". I was shocked because I found him under Specialty Disease Doctors and he made no mention of this in my first visit. He said he would call me the following day, which he did.
He tells me the actual Disease Specialist looked over my results and the levels to prove Valley Fever were too low. He even circled it on my blood work and the levels show way high. I already knew I had one nodule in my lung but he failed to tell me I now have two. I'm still in shock with the way he handled this.
Needles to say, I got a second opinion and I do in fact have Valley Fever. He's the first Doctor I trusted in a very, very long time and I feel betrayed. I did look at his reviews after I saw him and the majority of people say he's cocky. I can see that. They compared him to Dr. House from the TV show. I'm so glad I got a second opinion. Please research new Doctors before you go. Very frustrating lesson learned.
