Autumn2013 27 Posted September 21, 2013 So far I'm impressed with the staff/team at the office. Has anyone else had Dr. Robbins? Im currently following the 3 month plan. Just wondering how soon after the 3 months you were scheduled for surgery. 3 bamagurl, RockinGal and Gary John reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering how soon after the 3 months you were scheduled for surgery. I am also a patient of Dr Robbins. Scheduled for 30 October. So far I really like the staff there. They have been helpful and answered my questions quickly. I started the process July 8, so just a little more than the 3 months, but my time was truly filled up with making all of my appointments. Be glad to answer any questions that you may have 2 Autumn2013 and Gary John reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dmoore 1 Posted October 6, 2013 My Doctor is also Dr Robbins I am getting it done on 10/7/13 at Flowers' date=' all the nurses in the office upstairs are really help full.

I absolutely love the staff in the office and the preop process was great. After surgery it was close to impossible to schedule the post- op appointments. I was extremely disappointed. We had to move to Mobile a few months after LBS. I now have a dr. who actually makes appointments and great follow up care. Dothan could learn a thing or 2. The support group in Dothan us better though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
