At Michele Shermak, MD, we know that expert anesthesia care is essential to a safe and positive surgical experience. That’s why we are proud to have Robyn Cooke, CRNA, leading our in-house anesthesia services.
Robyn brings decades of advanced training and clinical experience from some of the region’s most respected institutions, including Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland Shock Trauma, and Franklin Square Hospital. She is not only technically skilled but also highly attuned to the comfort and well-being of each patient under her care.
In the operating suite, Robyn is calm, precise, and focused—exactly the kind of provider you want watching over you when you're most vulnerable. Her presence brings a reassuring confidence to our patients and a smooth, steady partnership to our surgical team.
Robyn’s training and clinical foundation were shaped by some of the most demanding anesthesia environments in the country. Her years at Shock Trauma provided her with experience in high-pressure, complex cases where rapid decisions and steady execution are crucial. At Johns Hopkins and Franklin Square, she honed her precision and developed a deep understanding of both inpatient and outpatient surgical anesthesia.
Today, she brings that same level of vigilance and attention to every patient who walks through our doors, whether they’re undergoing a local in-office procedure or a more comprehensive surgical experience.
Robyn is not only a leader in her field—she’s also a joy to work with. Her warmth, humor, and compassion create an environment where patients feel safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to get to know each individual’s health history and comfort level, making sure anesthesia plans are tailored and thoroughly explained.
When she's not in the operating room, Robyn enjoys spending time with her family and taking care of her small farm (fondly referred to as her “farm-ette”). She’s equally at home gardening, traveling internationally, or enjoying Maryland’s beloved beaches “down the ocean.”
Anesthesia is one of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of your surgical care. At our practice, it’s not an afterthought. With Robyn leading the charge, you can feel confident that your comfort, safety, and well-being are fully supported from the first moment to the last.
