Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He's an uncaring man
Rotten experience. You get the distinct impression that you're unworthy of his time. He seems to have some general personality issues just an odd man and I could accept that if he was like House, M.D. miserable but a genius. He's no genius and miserable. No follow up, no concern and failure to address concerns. I never leave reviews that are negative but this Dr made me realize anyone can get into the wrong profession. Maybe he wanted to be a veterinarian but didn't make the grades. He seems to dislike human beings. I also remember seeing a YouTube video he discussed rudimentary stuff about vitamins and thought it was revolutionary information. I don't hate anyone and I do wish him well but wow bad experiences.

Uncaring and does not follow up
Dr. Collins used to be a good physician. Now he is uncaring and does not follow up or send referrals. Orders unnecessary blood work with not medical necessity causing increased bills to patient. Will only address complaint even after waiting 6 weeks to get an appointment. Refuses to refer to specialist and says he can treat the conditions. Cannot get in touch with office or call back from days or more. Treat and street type doctor, not good with maintaining a regular patient health.

I very much like Dr. Collins. He was never one to jump to medications. Looked me in the eye and told me my actions were causing my condition. I crave the truth and he delivered. So disappointed he's no longer with HealthTexas. Don't know where he is, but I'll return to his care when I find him.

I have the distinct impression that his employer, Health Texas, how much or how little time he can spend with patients. I always felt rushed but when he told me to make a another appointment and come back I said no thanks

Dr. Collins explains things clearly and doesn't just jump on a medication. He knows a lot about vitamins, herbs and OTC options. Very good about suggesting lifestyle changes as well before going down the road of Rx. I've been seeing him a couple of years and my family will continue to do so as well.

Glad I didn't have to wait on referrals from this primary. I've seen an allergist & 2 dermatologists. Ends up my rash isn't a rash but an autoimmune disorder. I called and asked if he could order tests for lupus and lyme, but received a callback bluntly asking if I have HIV! No other information or questions. He didn't ask for a copy of my latest tests that were ordered by the allergist, nor what either dermatologist were testing my biopsies for. I've found a new primary! Dr. Pola was better.

I am extremely satisfied with dr. collins. my experiences with him over the past couple of years have been very positive. he takes the time to address all my concerns without making me feel rushed. I have needed a couple of referrals and have found the referrals dr. collins has given me have been to the very best doctors. if I have a problem outside of regular appts, dr. collins wastes no time in getting me in to see him. an added plus is that he has a wonderful office staff.

Dr. Collins has been such a kind, caring, and professional doctor. I have had a plethora of health issues from anxiety and depression, a dog bits, bronchitis, and internal bleeding. I do not know how I would have gotten through these past 2 years without Dr. Collins help and advice. He is efficient yet thorough, checking-in often and keeping me updated with lab and blood results. Dr. Collins cares deeply about his patients and I take his advice to heart. I am very grateful.

Dr. Collins is a very respectful professional doctor I ever came across. Very caring and thinks outside the box on helping with your health issues. I now have my wife seeing Dr. Collins and she is very satisfied. If you want an awesome doctor I recommend that doctor Collins be your future family doctor.

Dr. Collins acts in an unethical, unprofessional and even childish manner. He has some sort of superiority complex when dealing with patients. He doesn't listen to patient concerns or opinions just the ones he hears in his own mind. Very disappointed as I was misdiagnosed twice , refused needed referrals so that the clinic could receive Medicare bonuses. In addition I was given the wrong vaccinations and meds. What a disappointment as a person who should be a trusted professional.
