Dr. Evan Collins, MD

I had THE BEST experience with Dr. Collins!! Dr. Collins is so down to earth, gets straight to the point, no BS (no sending you for unnecessary procedures like the other doctor I switched from). My procedure to remove the Giant Cell Tumor was so quick, the nurses were great and Dr. Collins was very confident pre and post op!! I don't usually leave reviews but I absolutely had to leave one for Dr. Collins. Great guy!!

This man is very arrogant. He talks too much. He loves hearing himself talk. I will not be visiting again. He told me there was nothing he could do about my arm but seemed to get an attitude when I would ask for advice to help with my pain. He walked out without saying goodbye and just said, "take some candy", very arrogantly. I do not recommend.

I went to Dr. Collins for an evaluation of an overuse injury in my hand after hearing great things about him from others. I did not feel that he listened empathetically at all. He minimized my pain and concerns and told me to "just build strength" (didn't prescribe or suggest PT/OT or any specific exercises) without performing diagnostic tests to find the tendonitis that was present (which I found out from a different doctor). Even if his vague suggestion was sincere, the manner of delivery and terrible bedside manner (getting way up in my face, dismissiveness) was unacceptable. The final insult was the brusque "you can choose a candy from the jar" which, after all that had happened, felt extremely belittling. I left feeling demeaned, unheard, and that I'd wasted my time and money. No matter how skilled of a surgeon you are, if you can't treat all of your vulnerable patients with respect, empathy, and basic kindness, then you're not a good doctor.

Dr. Collins told me to "return to normal" activity after surgery -- and confirmed when I asked "no PT?" On a subsequent visit he told me I had probably damaged it by "pushing it too fast!" Terrible advice, terrible outcome. I'm about to have a second surgery (elsewhere), to correct the mess he made. Don't listen to the "praise" from his fraternity of physician friends. PLEASE get a 2nd opinion before you let Dr. Collins do anything invasive!

I am a seasoned Family Physician and I chose Evan D Collins MD to handle my medical condition. He was personable, practical, on-time, explaining diagnoses and potential treatments. I went in expecting surgery and instead was given practical advice. I was pleasantly surprised that he did not rush to surgery, and his recommendations took care of my problem. I respect his clinical acumen.

First off the office staff are very welcoming! Dr Evans is awesome... takes time to listen and appears genuinely concerned. Explained my condition in detail. I suffer from RA and have trigger fingers in the past and have had to get an injection which is never pleasant but Dr Evans was smooth and calculated having me focus on our conversation I only flinched with minor pain. I can definitely recommend him to friends and family!!

Dr. Evan Collins repaired my previously inoperable elbow with fantastic results. Dr. Collins removing multiple bone chips has allowed me many years of fully functional use, after my arm having been only partly functional for most of the first 40 years of my life.

Dr. Collins took his time to explain my condition, the treatment he suggested and answer my questions. He has a wonderful bedside manner and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. I appreciate being seen within minutes of my appointment time. I like the fact that surgery was not his first option and the treatment he administered has already began working on my condition.

Low compassion and poor communication. Hope to never see him again.

I've been a patient of Dr. Collins for 10 years and have been completely satisfied with his staff as well as Dr. Collins. I've had several surgeries due to carpal tunnel, trigger finger and both elbows for tennis elbow that I'm glad I had done that allows me to be pain free now. He is such a caring Doctor and does great work and I most definitely recommend him.

Had ulnar nerve decompression. Surgery was unsuccessful and cause tendon tears. Went to another doctor, had an mri that confirmed the damage. Doctor denys it, acts ugly, raises his voice, and bukkys my wife and i out of his office. He also lied on office records stating that he offered none surgical options and he did not. He said surgery was the only way. Please note when you visit that he will not let you talk so you can imagine if things dont go well. Dr. Collins is a bully.
