"Heather Collins was the best. She spends time explaining everything and makes sure you understand what the problem is. I've never had anyone sit and explain everything at my level. I'm so very glad I found her."

—Lee G., November 2022

"She spent 45 min with me. Listened. Checked me over. Spent time explaining the MRI PHOTOS. Made a plan for healing. She knows her field. I was very happy to be with this competent, thorough, communicative individual. I feel hopeful and heard."

—Patient Survey Response, July 2022

"Heather Collins PA was knowledgeable about my situation and took the time to go over imaging and explain what was going on with my spine using a detailed model of the discs. She spoke to me as a person and fully explained treatment options. I was very impressed with the level of care and professionalism the entire staff provided."
