How likely are you to recommend Dr. Collins?
My husband suddenly developed memory problems, paranoia and more. After taking him to several doctors I was disappointed that they gave no help. On my own with the help of our children I searched to find answers on my own. I was able to schedule with Dr. Collins. Yes, we waited past our scheduled appt. but that tells me he is busy and also takes time with patients that need it. He spent a lot of time with us, some memory testing by nurse, change of med, and blood work. We also have appt. for more testing elsewhere. The minute he walked in we liked him. He was thorough, caring and listened to us about what we had been going thru. Would highly recommend him. Be patient -skilled doctors are busy.
