Meet Our Team

My name is Robert W. Giebink. I am a psychiatrist who graduated from USD School of Medicine in 1992 and completed the USDSM General Psychiatry Residency Training Program in 1996. I see patients at the MWI Health clinic in Sioux Falls, both in person and via telemedicine. I see patients via telemedicine across the state.

I work with adults of any age or background evaluating and treating the common psychiatric conditions. I have particular interest in caring for people who have co-occurring conditions, such as a mood or anxiety disorder plus a substance use disorder. My approach to care is collaborative. I may refer a patient for additional mental health services, communicate with a primary care provider or enlist the help of family members.

I chose this profession because I believe I was called to it. I have myself struggled with depression, anxiety, addictions and sought guidance for interpersonal difficulties. I find it rewarding to be able to help individuals and families who struggle with their own mental health problems and life challenges. My experience, professionally and personally, can benefit others.

Outside of work, I have enjoyed a variety of activities, many outdoors, such as fishing, sailing, swimming, skiing, biking, hiking and camping. I do less of that now, but walking is important, and I’ve taken up basketball again, just me dribbling and shooting and chasing the ball. I’m a curious fellow. Many times a day, I use the internet to get information and find answers to questions I have.
