“Dr. Rob is fantastic. He answered all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand.”

“Dr. Rob's experience in integrating medical office visits with mental health is ahead of his time. Although my son had normal pediatric visits Dr. Rob seemed to pick up some depression in my son. Later to find out it was due to being bullied at school. I would have never known. I'm so grateful his pediatrician made this referral. Now my son is happy to go to school and making new friends. Thanks, Dr. Rob. Â

“With Dr. Rob each session was an eye-opening experience. It was like a light bulb kept going off in my brain.”
BW
"We were referred to Dr. Rob after my daughter’s pediatrician expressed concerns about depression and attention problems. I didn’t expect what happened next - Dr. Rob gently suggested we go back to our pediatrician to check her thyroid. To our surprise, it turned out she had a thyroid condition. With the right medication, she’s doing so much better now. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Rob’s insight and care; it truly made a difference in my daughter’s life."
