Dr. Ann, as we have come to call her, has been our GP for the past fifteen years. We followed her into her MDVIP practice. A strength of her practice is her ability to listen and truly understand her patients' aches, pains, and concerns. She pays attention to details and responds with true empathy and excellent diagnostic insight. She does not pull out a prescription pad immediately,… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Collins
DR. COLLINS, HELP ME TO MAINTAIN THE GIFT OF GRACE FROM "GOD".
EVERY TIME I'M IN THE OFFICE IS A CELEBRATION OF A MILESTONE.
I'M THANKFUL & GRATEFUL FOR A VERY PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR.
BLESSINGS,
🙌🏿 🙌🏿
I do appreciate that Ann Collins is so preventive oriented. Because of her very early advice, my Type 2 diabetes has always been controlled. I have met other people whose doctors waited until their blood sugar was very high - in one case the person passed out! The first time my blood sugar was slightly above where it should be, Metformin was prescribed for me. This was a great idea. My family… See more
When my doctor of 30, some years decided to retire, I was concerned who I could find whoever replace him. I initially did not think of going to a concierge doctor. I did find a physician willing to take on new patient. I made an appointment for my annual physical and ask how long should I schedule for the exam. The nurse said 20 minutes.
I am used to spending an hour and a half for an… See more
I joined MDVIP last year and selected Ann Collins as my dr based on recommendations from a couple of friends.
I was overweight and unhappy about it but just couldn’t seem to get the motivation and know-how to lose it.
A number of things happened which caused Dr Collins to have a frank discussion with me about changing the way I eat. Let me just say - that conversation… See more
The moment I truly felt it was nice to be a member of MDVIP was when I had chest pains. If not MDVIP, I would have had to wonder where to go and what to do. I texted Dr. Collins and she promptly responded, and told me which hospital I should go. The feeling that Dr. Collins knows what is happening was also really helping as well, other than her instructions. These are both the feelings that I… See more
I just feel good about having a dr. Who cares and is available when needed. I’ve been fortunate not to need much help. But feeling good about knowing she is so capable and there for me is invaluable.
Dr. Collins doesn't miss any piece of useful information that can be gotten from the annual physical results, referring me to skilled specialists whenever appropriate. She is an excellent listener and reliably provides me with the best medical advice.
I recently began seeing Dr. Collins. From my first introduction to Dr. Collins and her staff, I felt welcomed and cared for! Dr. Collins genuinely and kindly listened to my explanations of my past medical history and my concerns about my health and future wellbeing! It is obvious to me that she heard me and cared about what she heard. Her protocols are very thorough and reveal my current… See more
As I read this testimonial from my husband about D Ann Collins chills went throughout my body. This was an unbelievable experience for both of us. Our gratitude for your care, concern and expertises will always be remembered. We’ve told this story so many times. I pray that others can find this level of service when in need. We were truly blessed to stumble across you at such a critical time.… See more
