Dr. Robyn Rosenblum has spent her career treating children of all ages and backgrounds as a pediatrician at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens. A proficient Spanish speaker, she has extensive experience caring for multi-lingual, multi-generational families and enjoys tailoring her medical guidance to fit each child’s personalized needs.
Dr. Rosenblum was exposed to the joy of pediatric medicine early in life when she saw her pediatrician father regularly bring home his stethoscope adorned in miniature stuffed animals. “I loved watching my dad with his patients. We’d have family members or friends come to the house in the middle of the night for whatever ailments, and he was always able to help them,” Dr. Rosenblum says.
As a teenager, she shadowed a pediatric cardiologist and later spent time with pediatric cancer patients when she was in college. Dr. Rosenblum received her bachelor's degree from Duke University and earned her medical degree from the Ohio State University. She completed her residency in pediatrics at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Following her training, Dr. Rosenblum joined NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital as an attending pediatrician treating both inpatient and outpatient children. She then moved to focus on the hospital’s outpatient pediatric clinic, the Theresa Lang Children’s Center, and in 2013, was named Director of the center.
Dr. Rosenblum saw patients from all over New York City, often caring for families with uneven access to health care and other resources. “Treating the whole person—looking at everything going on for a patient socially, physically, family-wise—is very important,” Dr. Rosenblum says. “I don’t just think about the one little thing that’s wrong a particular day.”
When she meets patients and their families, Dr. Rosenblum likes to get to know everyone involved in caring for a child so they can work as a team to determine the best path for the child and their individual health needs. She listens to each family’s experiences and provides realistic, actionable advice tailored to the family’s health history, dietary choices and restrictions, and cultural nuances.
With older children, Dr. Rosenblum emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making to help her patients take ownership of their own health. She personalizes her guidance so that the children she cares for are always brought along and bought in.
In addition to her direct patient care, Dr. Rosenblum has devoted significant time to teaching. She is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College and has overseen medical students and pediatric residents at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens. “Teaching keeps me on my toes because I have to stay up to date on as much information as I can,” Dr. Rosenblum says. “Keeping up to date with the clinical pathways and new medications and recommendations also improves my practice as a physician, too.”
Dr. Rosenblum particularly enjoys cultivating close relationships with her patients and their families. “It enables an important trust between patient and doctor so that when they are ill, there are no communication barriers and you can provide the best medical care for them,” she says.
Dr. Rosenblum lives in New York City with her husband and son, who she is teaching to love travel and sports just as much as she does. In addition to Duke basketball and Ohio State football, Dr. Rosenblum is also a devoted fan of the Knicks, the Mets, and the Giants.
