I worked for Dr. Robbins in the 70s. He was such a dedicated man to the patients he cared for..

I am very sorry for your loss. Herman was my father's great and dear friend. He was protective and generous to me in my childhood and later. I will miss him. Please accept my sympathy and best wishes.

I will miss knowing that you are no longer there. As a Physician, your caring, and Your great sense of humor. I worked in the office of Drs. Raymond & Mortimer Sackler for 32 years - I had to have known the Robbins family for at least 31 years.
My deepest sympathy to all.

Dr. Robbins has been our orthopedist for over 40 years and kept us up and running, repairing sprains, bones and tears since the days of the original Hospital for Joint
Deseases.
We loved him and will miss his humor and great skill. We convey our sympathies to Dr. Phillip and the Robbins family. He was the best.
