Dr. Collins listed carefully to my history. He put me at ease and has a good sense of humor. I went in knowing it would be unlikely he could give me a firm diagnosis because it took 6 months after my events to get an appointment scheduled. I hope that if I ever have another episode he will be able to see me in a timely manner.
