Robbins Martin L MD

"Dr. Robbins is an amazing surgeon, which is not a compliment I give lightly. After being a bit of a medical mystery, beyond suffering from the “normal” endometriosis symptoms, I also found myself suffering from shortness of breath for around 4 years prior to my surgery. I knew something was wrong, and many physicians were quick to write it off as anxiety or asthma, which I knew was not the case. I was lucky to have him complete my endometriosis excision surgery in August of 2021, when Covid was still rampant in Maine, meaning I had to head in for a very lengthy surgery alone. Dr. Robbins had explained the procedure of what to expect, as well as the manifestation of endometriosis to me ahead of time, in a very in depth manner, to ensure I was comfortable with the operation. I woke up from surgery with my head turned to the right, which was not a position I had been able to sleep in without waking up gasping for air, for years. I immediately knew I had made the right decision in having him perform my surgery. While the procedure took much longer than expected, he was very thorough in his work, and my symptoms continue to remain at bay. The greatest outcome, however, is that Dr. Robbins knew my desire for children, and promised to “move heaven and earth” to make sure I woke up from surgery with all the necessary anatomical parts to bear children. I am happy to say that my first IVF frozen transfer was successful this past September, and am expecting my first baby this June. I am confident that Dr. Robbins is a large part of making this dream come true for my husband and I, and this review is only a small representation of our gratitude for him."

"Dr. Robbins performed my excision of endometriosis in July of 2016. In April of 2019, he performed a presacral neurectomy for uterine pain. He checked for any residual endometriosis during my second surgery and pathology confirmed no disease was present. I am now over 5 years out from my excision surgery and have ZERO signs/symptoms of the disease. He is an absolute angel and gave me my life back. Not only is Dr. Robbins an extremely skilled surgeon, he has the best bedside manner I’ve yet to experience (both as a patient and as a healthcare worker who works with numerous doctors every single day). I have referred many women to Dr. Robbins and will continue to do so. I can’t thank him enough for dedicating his life to improving the lives of so many women suffering from this debilitating disease."

"Dr. Robbins performed my excision surgery in January 2016 and I thank him for giving me my life back. I spent over 10 years in pain from untreated Endometriosis, and he was the only OB/GYN who took my pain seriously from day 1. I highly recommend you see him if you suspect or know you have Endometriosis."

"I can't thank him enough! Years of severe pain, years of not understanding why I kept getting worse, and no hope in site! Many doctors and confusion. This was a miracle! Dr Robbins was VERY thorough, caring, and understanding! He gave me my life back! I can sleep and do life without constant pain! I can enjoy my kids activities and time with my husband! So extremely thankful for this fabulous doctor!"

"Our OB/GYN referred us to another surgeon who referred us to Dr. Robbins because he used "special tools". Dr. Robbins was very kind in our consult and gave us a lot of hope. We scheduled the surgery. My wife was called at work ten days before the surgery by his office staff and told we had to come up with $800 before the surgery. I questioned why they waited until such late date to request the money instead of giving us time to come up with it. I then called the woman and told her I would be able to come up with the money in time. Meanwhile Dr. Robbins canceled the surgery and told us it was because we didn't have the right attitude. He also said he already scheduled someone else in our time. He claimed we were a problem right from the beginning and when I asked for an example since this is the first time we had a problem he could not give us one. The only thing we could think of was that we don't have credit cards and couldn't give his office one when we came for our first consult. The next day MMC called to ask pre-op questions and was surprised to find we weren't scheduled because it was still booked "for us". Basically I expressed concern about finances so Dr. Robbins kicked us out for someone who had no financial worries. Meanwhile my wife's tumor continues to grow and cause significant pain while we start the process all over with a surgeon who understands that being worried about finances is responsible and that working people have to be concerned about huge deductibles. He also told us not to worry because the tumor is benign. Pretty good since there has never been a biopsy! He might be a good surgeon but you better be rich or on welfare because money is more important than your health."
