A different path into the field.
Robin graduated from Harbor/UCLA's Women's Health Care NP program and completed the MSN program at CSULB. In the early 1990s, she began specializing in colposcopy — the detailed exam used to evaluate abnormal Pap results — and was awarded the Colposcopy Recognition Award for Special Knowledge in Lower Genital Tract Disease by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP).
For five years she served as a Clinical Instructor in Colposcopy with UCI's Family Medicine Program, training the next generation of providers. She also sat on the ASCCP's National Program Committee.
From community clinics to a practice of her own.
The first two decades of Robin's career were spent in community clinic and non-profit settings, working with patients who were uninsured or underinsured. In 2006 she opened her first private practice in Costa Mesa — primarily as a referral site for abnormal Pap management from local university student health centers.
In 2007, her focus expanded into research. She has since served as a Principal Investigator in several national clinical trials on the diagnosis and treatment of cervical disease.
Care that travels.
As a member of the ASCCP's Humanitarian Committee, Robin traveled to Ghana in 2011 to teach GYN residents how to perform colposcopy and LEEP procedures. In 2013, she and colleagues traveled to Fiji to screen and treat island women for cervical pre-cancer.
Today.
Robin's Costa Mesa practice closed in 2023 when the building was sold. After extensive remodeling, the space reopened in January 2025 as Corner Health Urgent Care — and Robin now sees patients there, by appointment, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Telehealth is available seven days a week for existing patients.
She remains a solo provider — one practitioner, one set of hands, one careful approach. The patients who found her in college twenty years ago still see her today, sometimes from out of state.
