Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Collins-Austin is pleasant however did not spend enough time needed to really understand my problems before prescribing generic medications. I agree that she seems under pressure to keep the time with patients to a minimum. I am also moving to a new Doctor as my family and I agree she lacks the personal connection we feel is important.

Dr. Collins-Austin is a friendly and responsive doctor. I have seen her a few times now and she listens to my concerns, makes recommendations, and works with me to develop a plan.

Terrible office, don't answer the phone, don't call back, won't renew prescriptions despite a visit less than 2 months ago. Do not go here for continuing care.

Very friendly...but feels rushed to get you in and out. I have found this to be so for the majority of doctors and specialists in Fort Wayne. Not sure if it is the Parkview hospital affiliation or what? I would like to get answers to some serious health concerns and I cant achieve anything in 5 minute appointments. I will be trying to find another doctor... And I can attest to the previous comment that Dr. Collins-Austin just wants to see you lose 5lbs by your next visit in three months...

She was very upbeat & pleasant, but... I went mainly for depression, In the first 5 minutes she checked my blood pressure, reflexes, etc & then said would send Zoloft to my pharmacy. The last 20ish minutes of the appt she basically told me I was obese &challenged me to lose 5lbs before next appt & she would to. and then gave me a recipe for a gatorade, laxative pills & miralax cocktail to lose 5lbs in one day. Which I thought was very irresponsible since i struggle with an eating disorder.
