• “Dr. Jamie Collins is EXCELLENT because he literally saved my life. Six years ago, when I first became a patient of his, he sent me for my mammogram. When it came back with a spot he didn’t like, he sent me for an ultrasound. I told him that spot had been there a long time, and my last Dr said it was a cyst. He said maybe so, but he wanted a biopsy to be sure. The cyst was a cyst, but underneath it was my breast cancer tumor. Since then, he’s been there for me every step of the way through my cancer diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. He listens, he counsels, and he cares. He is the very best doctor I have ever had, and I’ll never change.”
• “Dr. Jamie Collins is EXCELLENT because he takes his time to explain everything and always asks if you have any questions.”
