For Referring Physicians
How to refer a patient to Dr. Robinson.
Referring a patient
Jonathan Robinson, MD, practices orthopedics in New York with a clinical focus on the knee and hip. His training sequence runs from medical school at Ross University School of Medicine, through residency at Mount Sinai Health System, into fellowship training at Lenox Hill Hospital, where his orthopedic training narrowed specifically toward knee and hip presentations. He holds a hospital affiliation with BronxCare Health System.
For referring physicians sorting a knee or hip complaint, that fellowship concentration is the relevant data point: it is the stage in Dr. Robinson's training where general orthopedic grounding from Mount Sinai Health System sharpened into the two joint regions he now focuses on.
Dr. Robinson is accepting new patients. Referral criteria and documentation guidance specific to knee and hip presentations are set out in the when-to-refer guide for knee and hip cases. His full training and affiliation history is on his background page.
At a glance
Which patients should I refer to Dr. Robinson?
Patients with knee or hip concerns that haven't resolved with initial conservative management.
Dr. Robinson's practice is built around the knee and hip, and he completed fellowship training at Lenox Hill Hospital following residency at Mount Sinai Health System. If you're weighing the timing of a referral against a specific exam finding or a conservative-care duration, the referral criteria guide lays out the thresholds by urgency tier.
What should I send with the referral?
A referral note covering the presenting complaint, how long it's been present, and what's already been tried.
Include any imaging obtained for the knee or hip in question; a repeat study is often unnecessary if the existing one is recent and relevant. A brief summary of prior treatment, injections, physical therapy, bracing, or medication, helps the visit start at the right point rather than repeating the workup.
How do I reach the practice to refer a patient?
Directly, through the practice's referral contact line listed on its contact page.
Dr. Robinson is accepting new patients, including referrals for knee and hip evaluation. For context on his training before you call, his background and credentials are posted separately from this referral page.
What happens when my patient arrives for the first visit?
The visit is a focused evaluation of the knee or hip, not a general orthopedic intake.
Dr. Robinson reviews any imaging or records sent ahead of the appointment, examines the joint in question, and discusses findings and options with the patient before the visit ends. Dr. Robinson's fellowship training in orthopedics was completed at Lenox Hill Hospital, and his residency was completed at Mount Sinai Health System; both concentrate his practice specifically on knee and hip presentations rather than the full range of orthopedic complaints. Background on that training is on his biography page.
How will I learn what Dr. Robinson found?
A written note, not a phone call.
You will receive a consultation letter summarizing the examination, any imaging review, and the recommended plan, sent to your office after the visit. If further imaging or testing is ordered at the visit, those results are added to a follow-up note once they are available, so your chart stays current without you needing to request an update.
Who manages the patient's care after this visit, Dr. Robinson or my practice?
That depends on what the visit determines.
When the knee or hip issue does not require ongoing orthopedic management, care returns to your practice with the consultation note serving as the plan. When a patient continues with Dr. Robinson for knee or hip care, he follows that patient directly, and your office receives updates at key points along the way; he is accepting new patients referred on this basis. The criteria used to decide which path fits a given presentation are laid out in the referral guide for this specialty, which is worth reviewing before you send a borderline case.
