Invaluable

Dr. Robinson has worked as the sole GP-Surgeon in Rocky Mountain House for most of the past 30 years. “He has been invaluable for the ongoing, thriving obstetrical and anesthesia program, too,” says Dr. Rogers.

Dedicated, committed

Dedicated to and respectful of his field and his patients, Dr. Robinson has “stayed current on surgical and endoscopic training and advancements for rural surgery,” Dr. Rogers adds.

“In times when it has seemed that help (in terms of another surgeon) has been on the horizon, Dr. Robinson has gracefully offered mentorship to new recruits,” continues Dr. Rogers. “And when tragedy or circumstance has left him as the only surgeon again, he has gracefully taken back up the torch to provide an invaluable service to his community.”
