Collins Lewis R Jr MD PC

Terrible… My appointment was at 3:00pm and I arrived at 2:50. I was placed in a room at 3:35. … I walked out at 4:00pm still not seen by him. This is unacceptable… As old as he is I would have thought he would have learned professional behavior. I will never return … Take the 20 dollar copay and buy yourself some manners sir.

I thought I was going in to establish myself as a new patient. The service they provided was more like urgent care. I gave them my history and they seemed annoyed by the backstory.
My nurse left the room after Collins was done. She left the door open and I heard them talking about me in the hallway. Collins literally said «there’s nothing wrong with him, he just wanted to talk»…I really felt embarrassed.
It’s funny that reviewer James W. complimented Collins for being such a good listener. I had the completely opposite experience. I will not go back

A friend recommended Dr. Collins to me seven years ago and I made an appointment with him right after that. He patiently listened to all of my questions and details for quite a while. I have never met a doctor that not just pretended to listen but listened so well and gave me feedback. I normally dont like doctors and prefer a PA or NP, but he has changed that for me.
Even when I had horrible insurance, he would try to find me a cheaper medicine and give me a sample so that I could try it out first.
Also, his staff are always polite and courteous even about billing. I have been kept waiting once in his office due to an emergency, but even then it was not a long wait and when I have kept them waiting (late), they were very understanding and fit me in if they could.
I have gone to 4 dermatologists when I lived in other cities/​towns, and I highly recommend Dr. Collins and his office.
Can you imagine a patient that gets to understand his/​her own health concerns, resolutions and payments?

He is the worst doctor I have ever visited. My experience was the same as Laura’s.
This person did not even bother to examine my skin problems. Stated that it was due to allergies and I should get shots. He also had a aide with him who sat close to him and smirked at his comments. The waiting room was full of people when I got there and it was early morning. Patients were already complaining when I got there. They overbook and keep you waiting and it is almost a joke to them when you ask when you will be seen. Something is really wrong with this guy and he has definitely set up a horrible office environment. It was the first and last time for me.
