Not always. Many patients arrive this way, since Dr. Robinson, MD, works closely with referring physicians across New York who send patients with knee and hip concerns. If your doctor referred you, bring the referral paperwork and any imaging or test results they gave you. If you are scheduling on your own, call the office ahead of time to ask what records would help your visit go smoothly.
What should I bring to my first visit?+
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of any medications you take. Also bring any imaging, such as X-rays or an MRI, along with notes from any prior treatment for your knee or hip. Arriving a little early gives you time to finish any paperwork the office still needs.
How long will my first appointment take?+
Plan for 30 to 45 minutes, though your visit may run longer if your history or imaging needs extra review. The exact time depends on what brought you in and how much information the office already has on file.
What happens during the visit?+
Dr. Robinson will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and examine the knee or hip area involved. His practice focuses on the knee and hip, and his evaluation draws on fellowship training completed at Lenox Hill Hospital. Depending on what he finds, he may order imaging, discuss options, or recommend the right next step for your care.
What happens after my visit?+
You will leave with a plan, whether that means further testing, a course of treatment, or a follow up appointment. The office will go over next steps with you before you leave, including when to schedule a return visit if one is needed.
Is Dr. Robinson accepting new patients?+
Accepting new patients. You can contact the New York office to schedule a first visit or to ask questions before your appointment. This page is educational and is not a substitute for medical advice. Your care team will confirm what applies to you.
Your visit
What to expect
Your first visit with Jonathan Robinson, MD starts with a conversation about what brought you in, followed by a focused exam of the knee or hip, the two areas his practice in New York concentrates on. Dr. Robinson completed fellowship training in Orthopedics at Lenox Hill Hospital, following residency at Mount Sinai Health System and medical school at Ross University School of Medicine, and he is affiliated with BronxCare Health System. Many patients arrive at this visit on a referral from another physician. If that describes you, bring any imaging or notes your referring doctor has already sent, so Dr. Robinson can review them as part of the exam rather than start over. The visit is your chance to describe your knee or hip symptoms in your own words and to hear, in plain language, what the exam shows before any next step is discussed. Dr. Robinson is currently accepting new patients in New York.
