Robbins Headache Clinic: Robbins Lawrence D MD

Dr. Robbins is easily one of the best physicians I’ve ever had. He has a wonderfully calming demeanor yet takes your symptoms very seriously. In a world where headache/migraine sufferers are often disregarded by their doctors, Dr. Robbins is a shining light. I recommend this clinic to everyone I know with migraines!

I have been suffering chronic migraines for years and with no relief and having disabling effects. I had been through numerous amounts of neurologists with no relief until I was referred to Dr. Robbins by a nuerolgist from Rush hospital.He went through a list of what Dr.'s were giving me since the age 15 and now 48 yrs old. I just immediately felt comfortable because he understood and took his time and schooled me on certain medications. My first visit was very professional and his office had the migraine lights...I had never seen that before and I was impressed that they took the time to go over my meds and I couldn't be more pleased.I know there is no cure but you can find some relief anyone would take that over these excruciating chronic migraines.
So now we're on a plan and and I can't thank him enough and his team enough..

I honestly don't know what I would do without Dr. Robbins, Brooke and the office staff. I came to Dr. Robbins 5yrs ago with chronic migraine where I was going to the hospital twice a year and countless visits to the urgent care. Since coming to this clinic in 2017 I have not had a hospital or urgent care visit for migraine. They have compassion and are the best headache clinic in the Midwest.

I am honored to say that Dr. Robbins has been my migraine specialist for 20+ years. When he first took me on as a patient...my migraines had recently escalated. At the first meeting..it was a full 2 hours going over documents i prepared from his detailed questions. We started a plan of action that first day!
Doctor’s knowledge of treatments is outstanding! Sometimes it is just a slight adjustment in dosage that makes all the difference! Doctor is committed to make the journey through migraine as best as possible for you the patient. Compassionate, non judgmental, can do and never give up on you spirit! He makes you part of the team and gives you the tools so you can take care of yourself at home and minimize er visits.
I belong to a Migraine group where you can ask questions etc...and i see so many struggling through their migraines without help. I am truly blessed that Dr. Robbins was there every step of the way..there when things went ‘south’ and when a treatment adjustment made a world of difference!
And supporting him every step of the way is an incredible staff and an extremely knowledgeable Nurse Practioner. His staff understands the anxiey of the patient calling in and needing an appointment or med refill. They are there to help! When I needed a med on a vacation they were able to work with a pharmacy in my location to get me the refill.
Also of great importance..that doesn’t get mentioned in reviews is that Doctor monitors with timely blood tests to make sure that treatment options are not causing difficulties...and if so...immediate changes are made.
My local hospital has a slogan...’your Hospital for Life’....Dr. Lawrence Robbins is your doctor for all stages of your migraine journey! I would have not have gotten through this experience as well as I did without his help.

Dr. Robbins is a renown neurologist and an expert in the much complicated field of migraines. Dr. Robbins has treated my painful, chronic refractory migraines for over 20 years. His vast knowledge, innovative thinking, outstanding patient care and compassion sets him apart from other doctors, in my experience. Dr. Robbins has always been at the cutting edge of the medical technology, bringing new treatment options to his patients and always ready to face the challenge of a new migraine “type” as has almost always been the case with me and he never gives up.
He is knowledgeable, compassionate, supportive with an endless encouraging spirit. He ensures his patients have a good understanding of the various treatment options and works with them to find the best option(s).
In the era of no cure for this awful neurological disease, I consider myself fortunate to call him my doctor and this includes his incredible clinic staff who make sure that the patient always remains on top of their priority list.
