Meet Robin Dobrinick, Nurse Practitioner

We're excited to introduce the newest member of the care team at the Vein Healthcare Center, Robin Dobrinick, FNP-C. 

Robin studied at the University of Southern Maine where she received her Master’s of Science in Nursing. Before joining the team at VHC, she was a Primary Care Provider at a large group family practice in Maine.

Robin meets new patients to review their medical history, perform physical exams, and discuss their concerns and goals particularly as they relate to venous health. She also meets with patients for post-operative visits as well as performing sclerotherapy procedures.

First and foremost, Robin always strives to listen to our patients. She believes that biological, social, and psychological histories are all interconnected and essential to understanding patients so that she and the care team can address patients’ concerns and recommend treatments that align with their goals of care.
