About Me:
I chose a specialty in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine to care for patients from infancy through adolescence and into adulthood. My career has allowed me to care for those from all walks of life and reinforces my philosophy that the most important attribute of a caregiver is the ability to listen to their patient. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family, hiking, gardening and being a "foodie" with my wife.

Dr. James Roberts was excellent

I complained about an issue with my hand. The Dr acknowledged it, but did not recommend any treatment or further discovery. I am very upset about that because of the pain and immobility of my left hand. I had expected at least some treatment or examination of the fingers. I'm very upset about that and am considering another Dr , or service provider

Nothing to do with Provider, but I would like to mention my frustration with the labs/x-ray department. I had labs and an x-ray ordered. Going to lab and x-ray it's very irritating to have to go back to one desk to check in, after you've checked in at the reception area. So we have to check in on the computer for a lab, or a sheet of paper if x-rays. Each one requires the patient to then take another step by going back to a check-in person's cubicle. Then for the x-ray, I had to do it all over again. It's a waste of patient's time. I've never been to any other medical office where there is such duplication. It matters not to me why it is done this way. It should be changed.
Sep 11, 2023
Dr Roberts is excellent as usual. The reception staff needs some sensitivity training and be taught how to treat customers - the people who ultimately pay their salary. The reception and admin staff do not any value to my visits to Dr Roberts and are quite aggressive in their dealings with their customers. Further, I had to provide the same information three times. Once in a survey I received in the mail which no one ultimately asked for, again when I checked in online and then again when I arrived for my appointment. This is a waste and does not reflect well on Legacy Health.
Sep 5, 2023
Blood test ordered and came back with worrying results, I wrote provider and asked what should be done next and never heard back. No reply. Not happy
Aug 25, 2023
The staff is always efficient and courteous. Dr. Roberts is an incredible doctor.

DR. Roberts is Excellent!
Aug 9, 2023
Dr Roberts is always respectful of my dad as he asks him the same questions more than once. He doesn't talk over my dad, even though my dads hearing is very bad, as if he was not there. He listens to him and tells us what he is doing while he's looking into his past med changes on the computer etc. When we walking to the car my dad comments about what a good visit it was and how dr Roberts "takes time to listen to him and he likes that." Thank you!
Aug 1, 2023
I've been with Dr Roberts for a very long time. He's ready to talk with and I appreciate the time he spends with me.
Jul 24, 2023
Dr. Roberts is an EXTREMELY attentive, knowledgeable, kind, patient, caring, PHENOMENAL physician.
Jul 21, 2023
A little more than a week previous to my appointment to see Dr Roberts, I had cause to be in the emergency room at Legacy. (That experience was a great deal less satisfactory than the one I had with Dr Roberts, but that's for another time). Dr Roberts office called me a couple days after my emergency room visit but before my appointment. I didn't even know they knew I had been to the ER. IT was so very nice to get a phone call checking on me. It felt like an experience I didn't think I would have ever had in this day. Very nice.
Jul 17, 2023
My family followed Dr. James Robert's from a previous clinic. He is the Best doctor I have ever had as a primary care doctor!!! I would follow him anywhere if I could. He takes care of all my health issues and I feel safe knowing he watches all my health problems!! He is also very knowledgeable and personable!! My sons and I all have him as our pcp and we all have the highest respect for him as a doctor and person!!
Jul 11, 2023
Dr Roberts is amazing. The problem we have is getting through staff to get appointments or questions answered.
Jul 11, 2023
Parking is HORRIFIC. Please re-stripe the parking garage so that all cars fit in the parking spaces, not just motorcycles.X-Ray folks were nice, but it's been over 24 hours and I don't have results from the images they took.

Jun 16, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr. Roberts for 20 years. I've had a quite challenging health journey with many surgeries, accidents, ER visits, and hospital admissions. Each year I've grown to be more confident and pleased with his expertise and level of caring, personalized, and respectful treatment. I appreciate that Dr. Roberts engages In a medical practice approach not frequently followed by physicians - whenever possible, he has a mutually cooperative approach to my health care and decisions. He listens intently and has always taken time for a two way discussion. Not just answering questions - he listens intently, often asks me questions about care preferences, and cooperatively offers recommendations I am then eager to follow. When I had a temporary 1 year move I insisted on the 2-4 hour drive each direction for many appointments because I truly felt I could not receive comparatively excellent care elsewhere. I hope you have the opportunity to experience the same.

Dr. Roberts is very responsive , respectful and compassionate.

I like Dr Roberts and he has a great team
Jun 6, 2023
The only thing I can complain about is the lady who checked me in. I do not have a very high income, and I have Molina as a secondary insurance. Every single time she checks me in she makes me feel guilty about having Molina and asks me every time if I had called them to tell them I have insurance. Every single time, I explain to her they are well aware, they know my income and they know I have a primary insurance. Her eyes are not friendly and It feels very rude. She makes me feel ashamed at every single appointment in front of all the people in the waiting room and I wish she would never check me in again. I Am in healthcare and our PAS would never ever say something like that to somebody about their insurance. Dr. Roberts and his medical assistant are absolutely amazing and I would never complain about them whatsoever. I always get the best care from them.
Jun 5, 2023

I hadn't needed medical assistance or the need to meet with Dr. Roberts. I actually had not seen the doctor and I was told that after 3 yrs. They actually discontiue me from his services but Angie worked diligently to acquire my appointment in a very timely manner. Thank you Angie. The desk staff had smiles and greeted me very professional. Dr. Roberts listened to my concerns and addressed them very professionally. He was very easy to talk with and share some ideas with me. I asked for a blood work up and a urine analysis he was very accomidating. I received my information on My Health in a timely manner and spoke with his assistant and a suggestion by the doctor. In all a very wonderful experience.
Apr 25, 2023

Great doctor and office.
Dec 14, 2022
Lab on 2nd floor ALWAYS closes BEGORE noon, so they can use the time they should be serving patients to ready themselves to have their duties all caught up to be out the door at the stroke of 12. I've been turned away more than once. One time the doors were locked at 11;50. It's a bit of a trek only to find it closed.
Dec 14, 2022
Dr. James Roberts is very personable and very knowledgeable every visit. He is so wonderful that we did everything in our power to follow him from a previous office and we pray that he is ALWAYS our family's doctor!!!!
