About
It has been a privilege to practice at Children’s Wisconsin for the past two decades. I enjoy treating children of all ages with head and neck problems, including congenital neck masses, pediatric ear disease, snoring and sleep disordered breathing, voice and airway disorders and nasal and sinus problems. Children’s Wisconsin is a wonderful place to work with a dedicated team of providers and nursing staff who are committed to providing your child with the best care. In addition to my clinical duties, I serve as the Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Residency Program Director at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I am also active in medical missions, training surgical residents in Africa through the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS). I look forward to meeting your family and participating in the care of your child.

Dr. Roby is extremely nice and very helpful in helping us with our daughter

Our appt was scheduled for 11:15 and the provider entered our exam room at 12:25. I expect to wait to some extent at appts but this long of a wait significantly impacts patient experience. I assume this delay is due to a variety of reasons and provider productivity standards/ patient scheduling should be seriously reevaluated if this is the wait time for patients. If this is the wait time that is expected please inform families prior to the visit so that they can come prepared to support their child's regulation and other needs for that amount of time. I appreciate the providers explanation of my child's exam results and ability to answer our questions regarding findings.

We had gone to another ENT that had not spent the time learning/checking out my child's issues. I'm so thankful they spent the time at Children's to figure out the issues we were having!
