I assure anyone that DR Collin and Dermatology Associates and Michelle Reeves PA-C rank amongst the best example of professional, patient care, and caring attitude that exist in this industry. i speak from experience of over 20 year care. i was turn away from 5 offices that wasn't taking new patients. Being a kid who grew up in the 50s before sunscreen protection I was afraid if skin cancer. i had ask many different medical professionals about a skin issue and no GP, vascular surgeon, Rheumatologist, and kidney specialist could not answer. its taught in a one hour class in medical school. Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is a rare autoimmune condition that causes patches of discolored, thickened, and hardened skin. It is confined to the skin and underlying tissues--it is not contagious and does not affect internal organs. The condition often improves or clears up on its own over several years. AND I AM ONE IN A MILLION THAT HAS IT. they recognized it immediately AND TREATED IT. read more

Knowledgeable, considerate, and personable are traits I would attribute to to Dr Collins. He has taken care of a number of issues for me over the past 15 years. Trust him fully. read more

Absolutely Amazing experience! Everyone in office was so welcoming and kind and Dr.Lewis truly one of the best dermatologist I've ever been too and I've been to many in my life. He was so kind, knowledgeable and put my mind at ease with his treatment. So happy to have found him and staff as my dermatologist. read more

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? read more

A truly trying experience with this doctor and his staff. I needed to see someone quickly and he was the only person with availability within two weeks' notice. (Now I understand why.) Extremely long wait times. I once waited 45+ minutes. After speaking with Dr. Collins for only 5 minutes or less, he said that he had other people waiting with more severe issues! He actually walked out of the room because he seemed agitated. Then he came back in and acted like everything was normal again and tried readdressing my issues. I have never seen a doctor behave like this. And as other reviewers have said, he speaks in a condescending manner and makes you feel like you are embellishing symptoms. I came back a few months later and was told I was seeing a PA rather than the doctor. No call/warning to ask if I wanted to reschedule and it didn't appear as though he was dealing with an emergency (which I would have understood). Even worse was my experience with his billing staff. An absolute nightmare. I contacted them over a period of six months to try rectifying a bill for lab work. They were uncooperative and even claimed they might have not received a letter from my insurance company because they have "multiple addresses and don't always check them all". They kept avoiding any work, deflecting the blame on me/other vendors, refusing to assist with a situation caused by incorrect coding. They also later wrongly billed a biopsy which I had to sort out directly. The billing manager even told me they weren't obligated to disclose my medical records to me (which I believe is within a patient's rights.) What kind of doctor withholds medical records from a patient? After all of this back and forth, the bill was finally changed in my favor. There is more but I will spare you. It was just one thing after another. Never again! Avoid! read more

great office, Dr Collins is very good, takes time to hear and see what you may need. perfect.

I came from Austin, Texas. I guess I was used to good medical care until I hit Savannah. He is one of the worst Doctors I can imagine. The first time I saw him he diagnosed me with Rosacea and gave me no information. This is a disfiguring skin disease with no cure. Shame on him! On the whole he never provided any ideas to try to manage my Rosacea. He didn't tell me when he prescribed a new med or anything about the med. I had a rash and he irritated that I wanted to know what it was so I could manage it in the future if it reappeared. Of course, they do stick you in a room an keep you waiting. The office staff is very nice, BUT he is very condescending, behaves as if he does not want to be bothered and is pretty uncommunicative. Plan on researching and making your own treatment plan. J.

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. read more

Worst dermatologist I've ever been to. Unprofessional, consistently left me waiting in the waiting room for 30 minutes+ visit after visit before bringing me into the appointment room and leaving me there for ANOTHER half an hour. Dr. Collins is very condescending and rude to his patients and did nothing for my skin that was worth the outrageous co-pay. On top of that, I'm still getting billing and it's been six months since my last appointment. I've called the office several times only to be given the runaround. No one will tell me what the outstanding balance is for or why it's on my account, but they aren't taking it off. Seriously, go somewhere else. read more

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 read more

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. read more
