Paul Steven Collins

Dr. Collins and his staff are very thorough. I have been a patient of Dr. Collins for 4 years and always have a good office experience. When I had carotid surgery Dr. Collins explained the risks and what to expect during the procedure. I trust him implicitly with my life and health care.

I like Dr. Collins.

Jay who was the surgeon in Sarasota that did your hernia repair? Dr Paul Collins did mine in 2012. He put mesh and a plug in. From day one I had a bulge in right igunial. That was pulling and is still pulling to this day 7 years later. I went there it was a workmans comp claim. So my company sent me there. I wish they would have sent me to a hernia expert. Plus I never ever had any digestive issues until after the surgery. I went back there a couple times after surgery complaining. I only seen him once the rest was his assistant. You may want to stay away. He should be held accountable. Jay who was the surgeon in Sarasota that did your hernia repair? Dr Paul Collins did mine in 2012. He put mesh and a plug in.

If I could rate Dr. Collins zero stars I would. In November of 2014, I had a "hernia repair " with Dr. Collins. The quotes are because, within 3-4 days after his surgery, I had a similar painful ball-like protrusion in the same hernia area. Within the next year, I went back to Dr. Collins 3 or 4 times about this, and each time he said that I "did not and could not" have a hernia. The last time I saw him, he referred me to a pain specialist, and said that I was being "oversensitive " about my pain. Over the next 2 years, I sought out three second opinions. 2 of the surgeons said I had a hernia, but if they operated, it might be worse than before, and the 3rd one said he wasn't sure, so I tried other ways to deal with the daily pain and discomfort. 2 months ago, I found a surgeon in Sarasota who just does hernias. I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. For the first time in 4 years, I do not have a hernia, and I am not in pain from a hernia. To me, Dr. Collins placing the blame on me for having the pain from the hernia ("oversensitive”) was and is unconscionable. If you screw up, at least admit to the possibility that something is wrong if your patient is continually and consistently in pain. If I could rate Dr. Collins zero stars I would.

I am taking away a star because the medical community needs to stop with the expectation that patients should wait much beyond their appointment time. This is the first office I have ever visited that is blunt and tells you this upfront. I am still in my working years and if I make a 4:00 appointment and I am not seen until 5:00 that is an additional hour of sick leave/PTO that I did not need to take off. I have stopped going to physicians office where this is routine. It is also mind blowing that their medical history is not completed via a tablet in office or online prior to your visit and seems highly inefficient for their staff to input the information in the computer after patients complete it on paper. Have that option for the 80 years+ population but expect the rest to use an electronic version. Otherwise the doctors, medical assistants and PAs are very nice I am taking away a star because the medical community needs to stop with the expectation that patients should wait much beyond their appointment time.

Very thorough and understanding Doctor and his staff

Dr. Collins saved my life. He's a no nonsense doctor which is what I needed and wanted.

Dr Collins greeted me with a friendly smile and firm handshake that said positively I will fight for you! ..and he did. ..along with Chris his assistant and support staff.

Dr. Collins explains everything in a way it is easy to understand. Very friendly and courteous. Takes the time to address your concerns. He is excellent Doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Collins to my family and friends.

Doctor explains everything and makes you feel comfortable with the procedure I had done recently. Would recommend him highly. I trust his expertise and technique. Office staff is compassionate and helpful also. When I had an urgent matter in the past, he reached out to get the issue resolved ASAP. Very grateful with the outcome.

Dr Paul Collins performed an Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in July. Four weeks after the surgery and all is well, I'm feeling great with no issues. Dr Collins has been able to guide me through the procedure and recovery giving me a great since of confidence for something I have very little knowledge of. I'm so greatful for the excellent care from both the doctor and staff at Bay Surgical Specialists.

I asked a member of the staff to explain the procedure being done. Deborah Lorenz said she would have Dr. Collins call me. He called but instead of explaining what he was doing he accused me of missing appointments and asked me in a very rude way was I going to have the procedure done. He has the worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. He comes across as a total uncaring doctor. I sincerely hope other people read this and find a truly caring doctor. HE NEEDS TO RETIRE!!!!!

My experience with Collin was very poor- I would not recommend him to anyone- the God complex he carries is overwhelming. I have multiple doctors in my life and this was the first experience with someone so inept and uncaring -Go back and find another doctor
