Professional and businesslike, although they did not use my Zocdoc check in and insurance info - I did it all from scratch in the office. Seems to be an epidemic.

November 10, 2017Maria G.Verified patient
Dr. Collins and all of the staff members at the practice were extremely nice and helpful. I was able to see the doctor very quickly after filling out the necessary forms. Dr. Collins listened to my concerns and was able to order further testing, as well as see me in one weeks time at a time that is convenient for me. I am very pleased and look forward to returning again to follow-up.

The doctor respects her patients' time and does not double and triple book appointments which leaves patients with ailments waiting in the lobby for hours on end in discomfort.
