A skilled Doctor who listens and cares
Meet Dr. Rob
Dr. Robert Rakowczyk (rah-COVE-chik) is a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician.
Originally from Las Cruces, New Mexico, “Dr. Rob” attended New Mexico State University earning undergraduate degrees in Chemical Engineering and Philosophy before serving in the US Navy for seven years as a nuclear-trained Submarine Officer.
After his military service, Dr. Rob began his medical career by earning his medical degree at The Ohio State University, where he was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. He then completed a 3-year residency in Family Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch – Galveston (UTMB). He was honored with the Jean Thompson Award for Most Compassionate Resident upon graduation.
Dr. Rob has a special interest in integrative medicine and what might be categorized as “mind-body medicine.” During his residency, he completed the Integrative Medicine in Residency program developed by the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. He also underwent additional training in clinical hypnosis through the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, as well as training in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.
Dr. Rob is known for his gentle and open nature, listening deeply to patients’ concerns and questions, and giving thoughtful and educated care and advice.
He is married to his college sweetheart, Amy, and is the proud father of three amazing daughters. When he isn’t in the clinic, he’s usually at home hanging out with his family, or piddling around with his unnecessarily large collection of potted fruit trees (much to the chagrin of his patient wife).
Better Care, Better Health
About Still Point DPC
Dr. Rob’s intention in launching the Still Point Direct Primary Care clinic is to provide a space in which he can help relieve the burden related to medical concerns from his patient’s minds.
By allowing more time and more accessibility to answering questions and providing recommendations, the goal is to get you back to living your life instead of getting stuck with unanswered questions, unaddressed health problems, and ignored symptoms that can later flare up into major issues.
His goal is not to make you do what he tells you to do, but rather to work together to come up with treatment and prevention plans that fit with your goals and values. You won’t be dismissed from his clinic for declining any of his recommended treatments. As long as you have all the information to make an educated decision about your health, it is ultimately up to YOU how to proceed with your health care. Patients are not required to be vaccinated as a condition for membership at the clinic, although Dr. Rob does recommend vaccinations when clinically appropriate.
Primary care works best as a long-term relationship, and his patients are treated with the same level of care and empathy that he extends to his family and friends.
You are invited to schedule a complimentary “meet and greet” to explore whether this relationship might work for you and your family, too.
Where does the name “Still Point” come from?
At the Still Point,
There is a Dance
Dr. Rob has loved poetry ever since his childhood. There is a wonderful poem by T.S. Eliot that caught Dr. Rob’s attention because it touches on profound aspects of human existence and spirituality, and one section in particular is closely related to what he is trying to help his patients achieve. That poem excerpt is below:
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
– T.S. Eliot, excerpt from Burnt Norton (No. 1 of ‘Four Quartets’)
