Collins John DO

"What a horrendous experience with Dr. Collins at Maryland Spine and Sports Medicine(I have been to this clinic for many years now). My son and I waited for almost an hour past our appointment time and instead of being apologetic (like normal people) first comment from Dr. Collins as he walks in: "My time is very valuable" to which I responded everybody's time is valuable and his response, you can leave if you want to - this is the 30 sec conversation with Dr Collins. off course my son and I left immediately. The pompous arrogance he exudes is unbelievable. If this is how he interacts with patients I can only imagine how he would treat them. Good learning experience for my son about pompousness, arrogance and God complex."

"If I could rate my experience with Dr Collins as a zero, I would. Friendly office staff and nice facilities absolutely do not make up for the incompetence of this physician. I was referred to Dr Collins from my primary care team because of a chronic issue with my foot, ankle, and calf. I came prepared with test results and a detailed chronology of my injury. After talking to me for five minutes, he did an exam and determined that I had no physical ailment. This man did not listen to me, look at my test results, or read my X-ray/MRI film. Instead, he diagnosed me with a rare neurological pain condition. Odd, considering that he's not a neurologist. He also said the issue would resolve on its own or I would learn to live with it. I'm young. Too young for chronic pain for the rest of my life. Fast forward a few months. The pain became worse, so I went back to my primary care physician and got a referral to a different doctor. In one office visit and one X-ray, the second doctor found an actual, structural issue with my foot that caused the pain in my ankle. The issue required surgery and left untreated would have led, eventually, to a complete collapse of the arch in my foot. All of that is a far cry from the neurological pain condition Dr Collins diagnosed me with. I am so thankful that I found a DIFFERENT doctor who listened and treated my problem. Learn from my mistake: if you suffer chronic pain, go elsewhere. **Note: I have never rated a physician on Google or any other review platform before. I made an exception for Dr Collins because my experience was that bad and I would hate for another person to live in pain because he made them think there's nothing actually wrong with them or that they are destined to a life of chronic pain."

"I have never experienced a more unprofessional and rude health provider in my entire life. I would not send my dog to Dr Collins!"

"Great staff and service. Very happy with the care and expertise offered by Dr. Collins. It's not everyday you find yourself a doctor who's willing to work with you in the capacity he is. I came in with a torn rotator cuff and after being told by others that I would probably need surgery I expressed my concerns to Dr. Collins. He got me hooked up with a great physical therapist in the area - Dr. ko from synergy PT and after a couple months I was able to work out of the PT to home excercises. 5 months later I'm back to almost 100% and no surgery was needed. For a young professional and still pretty active lifestyle I couldn't be happier! John Collins was literally the difference between years and months of recovery for my case"

"Great office and friendly staff. I had a knee injury that lead to some bursitis and I needed to have it drained. I was very nervous about this procedure. Dr. Collins has great bedside manner and did an excellent job with the procedure. It was nearly painless! Thank you Dr. Collins!"

"I found Dr Collins to be a friendly, very thorough practitioner. He spent a good amount of time getting my history and examining my problems. I did not feel rushed at all."

"Excellent physician. Treated by wife's back issues. Thanks"

"Best doctor ever great experience"
