What doctor calls you and asks how you are doing after treating you for an eye infection? What doc answers their own phone? Dr. Collie does and she is AMAZING!

There isn't a wait. When you arrive, she is ready and waiting for you. upstairs in Durst Family Practice, she is thorough, competent, doesn't miss a thing. Caring, understanding, and accurate. Can't think of a better person.

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Holmes. Not only is she an excellent doctor, but she is incredibly kind too. I never felt like a number with Dr. Holmes. She always made me feel like I was her only patient in the world- a rarity in healthcare these days. She explains everything that is going on, and she extremely compassionate and professional. Dr. Holmes never made me feel rushed. She gave me all the time I needed to make sure my questions were answered. I wish other doctors would take a page from her book, and provide the level of care that she has to me. Also, I want to note that a family member of mine, who has exceptionally high standards, found her experience with Dr. Holmes to be equally as positive.
