I had been with the same OB/GYN for 15 years so I was nervous to have to change to a new doctor. I felt totally comfortable from the moment I walked into the office and found the staff and nurse to be welcoming. Dr. Colin is warm and she was easy to talk to. I felt comfortable with her immediately. She was also patient and happily answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend her.

My appointment with Dr. Colin went very smoothly and well. Dr. Colin took the time to go over my medical history and was open to any questions or concerns I had. Her whole staff, from the office administrator to the nurses, were so professional and most of all, very personable. I did not feel rushed and appreciated the care and time they took with my appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Colin's practice!

Very informative!
August 13, 2014Alina M.Verified patient
All I can say is dr. Colin was fantastic. The way she speaks to you makes you understand clearly what she is communicating and I didn't feel she was judging me like other ob/gyns do. It's been 8yrs since my last checkup and I came in due to an abnormal bump in my private area. She explained why this could happen and how long it would take to heal/go away. I would highly recommend dr Colin.

Loved Dr. Colin. The office is beautiful, plenty of street parking if you do not want to use the garage, and you can avoid the elevator by taking the stairs 3 flights up. The receptionist was warm and friendly. I was able to fill out all of my paper work ahead of time online through the "Patient Portal" I was taken back right at my appointment time with no waiting, and made nice small talk with the nurse before the Dr. came in to greet me. Very informative, friendly and warm but knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend her.

Very professional, conscientious, and kind! She's very responsive and I like their patient portal. It makes it SO much easier to communicate directly with your doctor.

r. Colin is an approachable, caring, knowledgable doctor. She took time with me before the exam to gather prior information and to understand my concerns or needs. She provided recommendations for other general practitioners )upon my request for information). Overall she made me feel appreciated as a new patient by taking time with me and not rushing our first appointment. Her office is clean and pretty/contemporary. The receptionist is very kind and together. Lastly, I appreciate they use current technology and sites like ZocDoc and ipad for filling out patient historty and account information. I will be referring others to her and will be a loyal patient. Happy to have finally found a great physician and Gynocologist.

Dr. Colin and the nurse, Elizabeth, were both very sweet and easy to talk to. I get nervous about going to the doctor and they calmed me down and listened to my concerns. Dr. Colin was very knowledgable about options for my particular concerns, and I had a truly lovely time, which is hard to say about going to the doctor.

She is really great! She's warm, friendly and made me feel really comfortable with her. OBGYN appointments can be pretty intimidating and awkward for me so it was a real breath of fresh air to have someone as warm as Dr. Colin walk into the room. She's very thorough, helpful and makes you feel at ease. I definitely appreciated how prompt, organized and professional she was too. She's awesome and I will definitely see her time and time again! Definitely recommend!

I thought Dr Colin was lovely!! So warm and friendly!! She made it very easy to talk to her and I felt very comfortable. She listened to me and provided me with options that were perfectly suited to me. Finding a Dr when you are far from home can be so problematic but I am very happy to have found my new Dr!! :)

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Colin. Her office staff is very efficient and straightforward. Her bedside manner is fantastic and she's eager to explain anything that you don't understand.

Dr. Colin was great! She made me feel so comfortable and was very proactive in giving me any information that she thought was relevant to my visit. Would definitely go back!
One thing to note is that they do not do any blood work at this office and you will have to make an additional appointment at a lab if blood work is required. This might be the norm though- just wasn't sure as I have always had blood drawn at my doctor's office in the past (rather than going to a lab). Thought it was worth noting though in case you're interested in a one-stop shop.
