I have seen Dr. Collins several times and have been communicated with him via my chart. It is my experience with each visit or my chart communications he can be very rude and condescending. It is unclear if it is intentional or not, but I’ve never had a pleasant visit or conversation with him regarding my health. Personally, I do not recommend Dr. Collins.
Oh My God, when I say the worst doctor I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Timothy Collins is rude, disrespectful, arrogant, and totally unprofessional. He acts like he’s in a hurry as you are giving your symptoms of how you are feeling and when you ask him a question, he acts as if it bothers him. He doesn’t touch you as if you stink or something. He has “experimented ” on my headaches for 15 years where he continuously “guess” what was going on with my headaches. I have some many pill bottles and injections prescribed by the... read more
My husband has been seen in this.clinic for 4 years and it is a waste of time. We saw him once and on recently after complaining about a new PA did he respond. He is rude, cold, doesn't listen, doesn't want to help. Hasn't run any tests in over 3 years, just pushes medicine. We asked for help with my husband's Gulf War symptoms and our appt was cancelled and told to get meds from our primary doctor. I don't even know why he is still there as it isn't for his patients.
He is just awful. I cannot recommend anyone using him. He brushes me off, allowed me to run out of meds, canceled an needed appointment without reason and told me to get it filled by my primary care doctor. When my wife messaged him to find out why and explained why I need an appointment sooner than later, he never gave her a reason and told her that is probably an inner ear issue. He made a statement without looking at my chart first. If he had bothered, he would know it isn't an inner ear issue. I cannot recommend anyone e... read more
His PA took lots of time getting the background info from my son- listened- ask questions - summarized for us. When Dr Collin’s came in he was polite, kind, friendly and did not rush us. He asked questions- gave suggestions- talked about what he saw and what he thought my son’s pain might be-ordered new meds to try- it was a great appointment- we felt heard. I joined my son as a second set of ears if needed and I was very impressed.
After several appointments with Dr. Collins and choosing each time to give him the benefit of doubt, I finally made the decision to seek help at another neurology clinic. He shows little to no concern about my daily migraines. He didn't listen to me, but rather over-talked me. He stuffed new medication at me without adequately answering my questions. I am unsure why Duke chooses to keep him with his rather poor reputation and low rating scores.
Dr. Collins has rescheduled my Duke Neurology appointment 3 times in the past year. When I arrived yesterday he was over an hour late and people were coughing in your waiting room. Check in said they can't ask people to wear masks or step out of obviously ill. I am immunocompromised and refuse to subject myself to germs due to a doctor being late and a clinic not following Duke protocol. Dr. Collins lack of respect for patients is undeniable. I have been rescheduled 3 times and just need my medication refilled. I asked for a... read more
I tried to explain my symptoms and history to him. He cut me off. He got mad when I refused an injectible migraine medication that showed post use high blood pressure indication in previously heathly patients and I have high blodd pressure. He literally scorned me like a child. I almost got up and left. His intern stood in the back with head down and arms crossed because he treated them terribly. He is abrupt and spends no time with you. I doubt he reads your chart. He is his own biggest fan. It's a huge God complex combined... read more
THIS MAN IS BEYOND RUDE. Id give him a -100 if i could. He interrupts you. He doesnt listen to you. I traveled several hours in hopes of getting some answers on NEUROLOGIC issues I've had for going on 4 years just to be told "he only deals with headaches" So what is a neurologist for? He asked why I even came.
