Dr. Jason Robin, a fourth-generation Chicagoan and physician, brings his extensive medical knowledge and commitment to patient-centered care to Dedication Health. As the newly appointed Director of Cardiovascular Medicine, Dr. Robin is armed with over two decades of experience in cardiology. A respected leader in the field, he is widely recognized for his expertise in primary prevention, managing complex cardiovascular diseases, and pioneering innovative approaches to patient care.
His path to medicine is deeply rooted in family. With a father who was a renowned oncologist, an uncle who was an elite general surgeon, a grandfather and great uncle who were esteemed pediatricians, and a great-great uncle who specialized in pediatric endocrinology, medicine runs in his blood. Inspired by their ability to connect with patients and make a lasting impact, Dr. Robin knew from a young age he wanted to continue their legacy of medical excellence.
“Connecting with patients and preventing or managing disease is all I ever wanted to do since I was 4 years old,” he says. “Because my grandfather passed away from heart disease, I made a promise to my dad and myself at the age of 16 that I was going to be a cardiologist.”
After graduating at the top of his class at Rush Medical College, he completed his residency, chief residency, and cardiology fellowship at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. After four years in private practice and 12 years at North Shore Endeavor, he now joins Dedication Health, where his commitment to compassionate care, advancements in cardio-oncology, and a focus on prevention reflects both his personal values and professional mission.
“Dedication Health is home to an exceptional team of internists and specialists who share my commitment to the kind of medicine I strive to practice,” he says. “I wanted to get back to the type of medicine where I have the luxury of taking as much time as a patient needs to hear their symptoms, concerns, and goals.”
His clinical expertise spans the entire spectrum of cardiovascular disease. He is a strong advocate for primary prevention, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools such as genetic risk scores, coronary CT imaging, and inflammatory markers to tailor individualized care plans. His goal is to identify and mitigate risks before a cardiac event occurs. Additionally, he specializes in managing complex conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies, including amyloidosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. As one of the first board-certified cardio-oncologists in Chicago, he developed one of the first Cardio Oncology Centers of Excellence in the country as well as groundbreaking risk stratification models to protect cancer patients from cardiac complications during treatment.
Dr. Robin looks forward to being a part of Dedication Health’s team of top-tier internists and specialists. “I’m excited to reintroduce my patients to the kind of medicine I remember from years past—where the doctor-patient relationship is at the heart of everything we do,” he says. “At Dedication Health, we’re not just treating conditions; we’re building partnerships with our patients to help them live healthier, fuller lives.”
Dedication Health is located at 710 Oak Street in Winnetka and 1625 Sheridan Road in Wilmette, 847-986-6770, dedication-health.com.
