Dr. John O. Collins, MD

Ever since I had my vns device put in. I had only seen him once. Another time I was scheduled at 10:00. Then one hour later they told me that he is running late.

Doctor did not listen to the range of symptoms or perform examinations related to patient concerns. Wasted months and unnecessary tests. Office is very difficult to deal with - unable to reach a person by phone and extraordinarily long wait times - over an hour and up to two hours!

Was lied to repeatedly by both Dr Kim and Dr Collins. They never return call. Am on Medicare and Med Works and they are just now billing me for Dec and Jan . This is may.

He had me get a VNS DEVICE put in. Now he is messing around with my medication.

Front desk person so rude and snobby long wait and strangest experience ever went to better neurologist now happy would never recommend wrong DX

Where do I begin? Every visit is at least 2.5 - 3 hours long. This is unacceptable! If Dr. Collins spent more time reading the information he has on his patients and less time talking about his political beliefs and how he loves Medicaid and Medicare, "cause I know when I will get paid from them! Private insurances, I never know when my money will be coming in!" Seriously?? I give two cracks about your opinion! He kept telling me my Dr. Never sent the MRI results. A TOTAL LIE! Called my Dr's office while I was with Dr. Collins. Sure enough, they sent the info. THREE TIMES! (With confirmation numbers)! Collins just refused to even look for them! This was over a 4 month period! He is always saying "I think this may be your problem" ... but it never is. Three prescriptions later and I'm still no closer to an answer than I was a year ago! Oh, I threw all prescriptions in the garbage! They made my condition worse than before! Can't wait to see my regular Dr. So I can get a referral to a… different Neurologist.

This is the most amazing neurologist I have ever seen. I will be driving 2 hours for my appointments now.

In the year that I saw Dr Collins, he was never on time. I was always forced to wait, at the very least, an hour and a half. However, one day I waited over THREE hours just to be brought into the back room. I would have rescheduled if it hadn't taken me months to get in. Every time he was in the room he would start coughing, apparently due to bad allergies, which wasn't his fault of course, but prevented him from discussing my health in depth. It sounds silly, but that's exactly what happened. He did start talking about the music that was playing in the room, however, and went on a tangent about certain singers and musical eras -- a conversation which carried on for the next fifteen minutes and included the nurse who was dragged into the room to confirm a question about music. He also took a phone call in the room as well. All of this while he was already very behind and the number of people in the waiting room grew and grew. Instead of explaining treatment options or running proper… tests, he GUESSED that I was suffering from epilepsy and tacked on "unspecified", wrote me a prescription and sent me on my way. It wasn't until recently that I decided to find a new doctor, because during my last visit he hadn't even read my file. He was completely unprepared and seemed like he didn't care, which made me lose my faith and trust in him as a healthcare provider.

Dr. Collins is truly concerned for my well-being. I would refer family and friends to him for Neurology care.

I wouldn't recommend Dr. John Collins. I waited 2 months to get an appointment after I got a referral from my son's family doctor. Then my first appointment was rescheduled. When my son got in to see Dr. Collins, it took us one hour and a half to be called back to the room. The receptionist said the nurse would be in. She never showed. After 10 minutes, I went back to the receptionist and spoke to her about rescheduling and that the nurse never came. She spoke to the nurse and the nurse told me she would go in and ask Dr. how much longer. He said 5 minutes. We waited and he came into the room and started coughing. Had allergies he said. Instead of asking to reschedule the appt., he kept coughing and couldn't hardly answer any questions. He asked my son a few questions that he should have know had he looked at his file. Apparently he wasn't prepared and didn't look at the file. He then took a call from someone while we were in the room. I thought this was rude considering… how long we waited to see him. We spent about 10 min or less because he didn't want to talk anymore due to his cough. I got nothing out of the visit but a prescription. I felt like he just wanted us to leave and he didn't give me the time of day for my questions.
