Dr. Jason Robin

Dr. Jason Robin is a lifelong Chicagoan who comes from a family of physicians. His grandfather, Dr. Sidney Robin, was a pediatrician on the north side from 1950-1993. His father, Dr. Erwin Robin, is an oncologist who practiced most of his career at Michael Reese and in the South Suburbs/Northwest Indiana before coming to the North Shore to practice along-side his son in 2018. Sidney’s brother, Dr. Leon Robin, was also a pediatrician and Erwin’s brother, Dr. Arnie Robin, has been a general surgeon in the North Suburbs for five decades

Dr. Robin attended Rush Medical College and graduated at the top of his class with highest honors in 2002 and is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. He then went on to do a three-year residency in Internal Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine where he subsequently went on to serve an additional fourth year as a Chief Medical Resident. After his Chief year, he completed a three-year Cardiology fellowship at Northwestern.

Dr Robin has had an esteemed career in the North Shore of Chicago since 2009. He is board certified in Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology, Echocardiography and Cardio-oncology. While at North Shore University Health System, Dr. Robin maintained his academic appointments at both Northwestern and the University of Chicago where he was designated Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine. He served as director of the cardiology clerkship for the University of Chicago family medicine residents for fifteen years and is a twelve-time recipient of the Outstanding Teacher Award given by the medical students and residents at Northwestern and the University of Chicago. He was also selected twice as the specialist of the year at North Shore University. As a researcher, he has served as a Principal Investigator, has written multiple book chapters and has published in over twenty different peer reviewed journals. He has lectured both nationally and internationally.

Dr. Robin created multiple programs at North Shore University including the Cardio Oncology section which he directed for over five years. This program, which amassed over a thousand patients, was one of 25 in the United States awarded recognition as a Center of Excellence based on patient volume, innovation, research and patient outcomes. In addition, Dr. Robin has extensive experience in Sports Cardiology for which he also developed a formal program at North Shore University. During the COVID Pandemic, Dr. Robin served as the lead cardiology consultant in the North Suburbs for teenagers who were at risk for myocarditis due to COVID. He was subsequently asked by the Illinois High School Sports Association (IHSA) to serve as the state’s cardiology consultant for high school athletes and has served as the designated cardiologist for the Northwestern Wildcats as well as the Chicago Fire.

Dr. Robin has been selected by his peers as a Top Cardiologist in Chicago Magazine each year for the past decade. He treats the entire spectrum of cardiovascular disease from primary prevention to advanced cardiovascular disease (valvular heart disease, coronary disease, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, cardiac complications from cancer therapy and rare conditions such as amyloidosis and sarcoidosis). He is also recognized as an excellent internist and diagnostician. By many, he is referred to as “the doctor’s doctor.”

Dr. Robin’s move to Dedication Health is secondary to the current system’s struggle with getting patients in to see their cardiologist in a timely manner. He believes that new symptoms and concerns should be addressed immediately. He understands that imaging and diagnostics are crucial with heart disease and waiting weeks or months for an appointment causes stress for patients and can sometimes miss important diagnoses. With this new practice, patients will be seen promptly, with 24/7 access and resources to provide quick and accurate results. Having grown up in a family of physicians, he understands the luxury and importance of coming up with the correct diagnosis swiftly which allows patients to go back to living. Treating patients as family is what he strives for.
