Overview

Clinical Interests:

Hi, I'm Robert Limbaugh. I'm an addiction medicine physician. I've been practicing addiction medicine for four years after initially doing emergency medicine for 27 years. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Following graduation from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, I moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, did my residency at LSU in emergency medicine, practiced emergency medicine for 27 years, decided to go back and do addiction medicine.

At that time, you could either go back and just start and do a clinical route. However, I thought the best thing to do would be go back and do a fellowship. So at the age of 61, I went back and did a fellowship at Tulane University in addiction medicine. There are two reasons I chose addiction medicine. One of the reasons was working in the emergency department for so long. There was so much addiction going on, and we really didn't have much to help people with.

Addiction medicine is a very new field. We found out that it's a disease process, and I just felt the need to help people. The second reason I went back to do it was in the 90s, my brother became addicted to opioids, and he overdosed on October 31, 1994. And I felt like if I could prevent one of those, then it would be a good day. I came to Lee Health in late 2023. I interviewed down here looking for an addiction medicine position at a facility that had really state-of-the-art addiction medicine treatment. Everywhere I looked, Lee Health recovery medicine is by far the most advanced and best program I have seen.

I like to go do outdoor sports. I love to run. I love kayaking. I like going to the beach, and that's something we can do a year round here. I also like to fly private airplanes, and one of the best flights you can ever do is to get in a plane and just fly up and down the coast on a Sunday morning. It's just absolutely spectacular.

  • Oct 19, 2024

    I was absolutely shocked by the request to submit to a [ ], not to mention a request to meet with a social worker. This is completely out of line for someone with moderate [ ]. It’s clearly geared to a much more severe issue. Well, I really liked my doctor, I may switch to a facility more geared to dealing with my type of cases

    What a pleasure it was to be helped by such an amazing Doctor. Never once did we feel uncomfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable situation and time. Very knowledgeable and understanding. Not judgmental and arrogant like so many others. I’m looking forward to seeing him again next month.
