Timothy Robinson, D.O., F.A.A.F.P. was born and raised in Flushing, N.Y. As a first-generation college student, he completed his undergraduate education at Fordham University. Robinson graduated from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a family practice residency in Jamaica, Queens, at Mary Immaculate Hospital of Catholic Medical Centers of Brooklyn and Queens. Later, he spent several years at Mary Immaculate Hospital caring for the local community of Jamaica as an attending physician in the Family Practice Center. Robinson held the position of attending physician in charge of patients at Monsignor Fitzpatrick Pavilion Skilled Nursing Facility, also in Jamaica. During this time, he served as director of medical education, published several papers in peer-reviewed medical journals, and lectured to international leaders in family medicine, including World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General and Family Practitioners (WONCA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Barcelona, Spain.
In 1991, Robinson established a private practice in Bayside, Queens, where he has been ever since. He has extensive experience in family medicine, emergency medicine, and geriatrics, and has admitting privileges at New York Presbyterian Queens, Northwell, and St. Francis Hospitals. Robinson is also passionate about disparities in healthcare and advocating for the services needed for his patients. He has been involved in educating the next generation of healthcare providers for his entire professional career, and has been medical director of the physician assistant studies program at New York Tech since its inception.
In his spare time, Robinson likes to swim and go boating around Long Island in the summer, take day trips up north to ski in the winter, and find adventure traveling with his wife and three children.
