Internal Medicine
Limited availability for new patients
“We see people in some of the scariest moments in their lives and they want to know they are seen for who they are.”
Language(s) - English
In the middle of an infectious disease fellowship, Dr. Robin McKelvey realized being a specialist and doing consults wasn’t for her because she wouldn’t necessarily be following her patients long term. So, she decided to concentrate on general internal medicine. “I wanted to be able to see long term how a patient’s health care was going, and be with them through various points – both the highs and lows – in their life.”
She says everyone deserves the full information about their health care but that she also has a nurturing approach. “I really like to know people and to have them view me as someone they can say anything to.”
Dr. McKelvey and her husband have twin boys. An amateur photographer, she also enjoys ballroom dancing, helping her husband during his biking events, and cooking.

Robin is very approachable, knowledgeable, and kind. She has in-depth knowledge of psychiatry, which is not typical for an internist. Her approach is highly collaborative and I trust her judgement. I’m very happy she’s my doc!
Dr McKelvey is a true partner in my health! She is thorough and kind.
