The first few reviews sound like the same person. The Dr. collins we know is caring, knowledgeable, and wish he hadn't moved from Michigan. Saw my mom without even having an appointment. Explained that needle biopsies can give false negatives, as needle does not biopsy the whole growth.

Dr. Jay Collins is just awful, but he's too narcissistic to ever admit mistakes or even take ownership of his SEVERE DEFICIENCIES!! I wasted significant time and money dealing with this quack, and he repeatedly failed to meet any sensible expectations for care or basic decency! It is abundantly clear that Dr. Jay Collins is most concerned about himself and his bank account-- Condescending, manipulative, deceptive, callous, narcissistic, and LACKING in education/expertise!!! Do NOT let this quack touch you!!!

His bedside manner is terrible! He is trying get more money out of me and other patients since he left Michigan and went to Minnesoto. HE and his staff did not file the right paperwork with my insurance to pay for his services in 2007. I have out of the state 4yrs. ago and he is still trying to get money from me and I had and have insurance. I'm warning other people not to go to him. he's all about the money not the patients.
