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.

Just over two years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After consulting with Dr. Collins and doing a lot of homework on him, I know that he is a brilliant surgeon. If I had it to do again, I would be very comfortable with Dr. Collins performing my surgery. While Dr. Collins is an excellent surgeon, he isn’t a very good doctor. His post-operative care left a lot to be desired. He neglected to call in a medication I needed, and I got no relief when I mentioned it to the nurse on a follow up visit and subsequently contacted the office about it. We are supposed to be monitoring my PSA and Testosterone levels, but an appointment never happens because his office calls and pushes the appointment back a month or more. I am abandoned. I should have gone to Dr. Collins for my surgery, but then I should have found a doctor who was actually interested in my follow-up care and working with me on the problems I was having after the operation.

After my PSA rising fast over a short time my urologist recommended a prostate biopsy he does the biopsies just one day a week and was booked up for about 2 months.I was able to contact Dr. Collins and he was able to do it much sooner he did the biopsy and called me with the results and he found cancer.He also ordered a MRI with contrast.I highly recommend him.

Dr Collins is a dangerous doctor; one whom should not be practicing. Not only did he lie about perceived symptoms, but only after getting the answer he wanted about a procedure, he made me sign a consent form under heavy sedation. He did not explain the procedures properly, and never once did he attempt to apologize or remedy the situation. After surgery he did not prescribe an antispasmodic, which is standard for stent placement in

Dr Collins operated on me to remove a kidney stone while I was 5 months pregnant. I was his first surgery with a pregnant woman. He did a great job! Highly recommend Dr. Collins!
