A New Jersey native, Robyn Roberts completed her studies in Ultrasonographic Technology at Elizabeth General School of Radiological Science in 1996. After passing the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers) board exams, she received her Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer credentials (RDMS).
She began her professional career in the human medical field, developing her skills as a sonographer in high-risk obstetrics and generalradiology. Pursuing her love of animals, Robyn transitioned to veterinary medicine in 1997. She was mentored by Dr. Mark Skeels DVM, ABVP, owner of Veterinary Imaging Associates – one of the highest volume mobile ultrasound practices in the country. VIA later merged with Sound Technologies, a leading company in the veterinary imaging field.
During her five-year tenure with Dr. Skeels, Robyn taught veterinary ultrasound seminars across the country, in addition to performing 15-20 examinations per day. During this time, she had the opportunity to play a key role in the development of one of the first comprehensive telemedicine software programs.
In 2002, Robyn was recruited by the radiology department of Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists and relocated to Houston, Texas to start a mobile service in the region. Under the guidance of Dr. Brian Poteet DVM, DACVR, she continued to provide mobile ultrasound service, in-house scanning, and resident training for GCVS until February of 2006, when MettaSound Veterinary Imaging was founded. Since 2006, MVI has been Austin’s only multi-specialty mobile telemedicine and ultrasound service.
Robyn Roberts currently lives in South Austin with her three rescue dogs, and two cats. In her spare time she enjoys gardening, mountain biking, and hiking with her dogs. Robyn is also very active in the Austin animal rescue community, and currently performs no-charge services for Austin Pets Alive and the Town Lake Animal Center, as well as reduced cost services to all area rescues.
