Richard Collins, PA

Physician Assistant
111 W High St, Ste 214, Elkton, MD
Hi, I’m R. Scott Collins, PA-C. I’m a nationally certified Physician Assistant with a background that bridges family medicine, critical care, and surgery. My journey in healthcare began in emergency response. Over the years, I’ve built a well-rounded clinical foundation through hands-on experience in nursing, pre-hospital care, and primary care. Today, I focus on family medicine with a special interest in musculoskeletal issues—helping patients manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance their overall quality of life. I’ve been a firefighter and EMS provider since 1978, and while it may not be most people’s idea of relaxing, I still find fulfillment in volunteering with my local department. It’s something that keeps me active, connected, and grounded in the spirit of service. I believe healthcare works best as a team effort. I’m here to assess, guide, and communicate clearly with patients and their families so we can make informed decisions together. It’s not about being the authority—it’s about building trust and working collaboratively to find the right path forward.
