The office and staff are very friendly, clean and nice. I came here as a new patient within the last few months and after gaining some more anxiety with getting dental care done, I felt like I was well taken care of and supported and educated.
Been going here for the past few visits, mostly checkups and cleanings, and I have not had any issues. The ladies who have worked with me were all friendly, talkative, and professional. As far as I can say, it is a good place to get your dental work done.
Dr. Colin’s is the best. I’ve been taking my son there for years. When he was younger, he was scared like most kids are. But over the years he has grown to trust the team at the office. Now, he goes in by himself and they come get me when he’s done. Dr. Colin’s is very thorough and has been very helpful all these years. My son has CP and a few other things going on. Sensitivities and emotional things, and she and everyone there handles his gracefully. Highly recommend!!!
From the sweet woman at the front desk to the doctors and staff in the back, we had a wonderful experience here with my daughter and decided to switch our whole family there now. Dr. Collins spent her time patiently explaining things to not only me but to my 5 year old and all 3 of the hygienists worked together to get the right angle they needed for an Xray of a tooth all the way in the back of her mouth and make sure my daughter was calm and comfortable the whole time (it was a hard Xray to get due to the location of the tooth and my daughters past trauma with a dentist so they gave her the true VIP treatment and she smiled the whole time she was in the chair). Thank you Collins dental!
I had a crown on one of my teeth come off after eating a gummy bear vitamin. I called Collins Dental and they were able to get me in to have it put back on. The staff was very professional and helpful, my appointment was on time and the work was done very quickly. Also they are very knowledgeable and friendly.
