I absolutely love this doctor and all her staff! I've gone to "the best of the best" doctors from NYC to LA and no one can light a candle on Dr. Collin's and her caring staff. The level of attention to detail & follow up, and knowledge is unlike anywhere else. Thank you Dr.Collins! read more

She's very caring and makes you feel so comfortable. I've gone to her for years. She's a great doctor.

I felt hopeful after reading the reviews for this practice, as I've been dealing with a recurring infection for over a year and had already seen multiple doctors. I explained my frustration and urgency to Dr. Collins and thoroughly reviewed my symptoms and medical history. During the appointment, I shared what I believed the issue might be, and I was told that the testing being ordered would cover it. From the start, communication was difficult. The practice advertises online scheduling, but appointments cannot actually be booked online. My initial attempts to schedule went unanswered, which was discouraging, but I proceeded based on the strong reviews. During the appointment, there was very little discussion or education about what my symptoms could indicate. No possible causes or next steps were explained. The visit consisted primarily of listening, performing a swab, and being told it might be related to sugar intake. I was told the testing ordered would identify the issue. After the appointment, I received little clarity or follow-up. I was not told exactly which tests were run, what they were meant to rule out, or when results would be available. When I reached out, I was given conflicting information, including being told my results were negative despite still having an active infection, and being told that someone had already called me when no such call had occurred. When I eventually spoke directly with the doctor, she stated that someone was lying regarding whether a call had been made to explain my results. I offered to provide my phone records. She then told me she did not know what was wrong and could not guarantee that the testing ordered covered what I had described, which contradicted what I was told during the appointment. When I expressed that I had never experienced a doctor simply stating they did not know without offering guidance, she responded that doctors do not know everything. I also shared that I was baffled by her nurse telling me that I did not have to return to the practice. The doctor agreed with that statement. Rather than offering guidance or next steps, I was told I could seek care elsewhere and was offered a refund of the $300 administrative fee. Throughout my interactions with staff, the tone was not particularly apologetic or reassuring. Given the inconsistent information, lack of clarity, and absence of patient education or direction, this experience did not reflect the premium, patient-centered care the administrative fee suggests. I am still dealing with an unresolved infection and was seeking thoughtful medical guidance and support. read more

I have been going to Doctor Collins for a few years now. Because my Doctor retired. I' worked in OBGYN for many years. she just has a great bedside manner. She's very knowledgeable and she's just a real wonderful human being. I am older and she's very sensitive to that issue. Which we all will face as you get older. I highly recommend her! read more

Absolutely LOVE Dr Collins! Professionals like her are few and far between - mostly few. She is through in her approach to your health history, cares about her patients, takes her time and answers any questions you may have. She really cares about you and your health. I have never had a doctor like her. read more

The most INCREDIBLE DOCTOR you could hope for! After my longtime OB retired I looked long and hard and found a gem . Unbelievably smart, knowledgeable., kind, and listens truly deeply. And the front desk staff especially FAB is phenomenal! read more

Dr. Collins is amazing! There is a calmness to her that makes her very approachable and you just feel a sense of calmness when you're talking to her. I've been going to her for about 7years now and now that I don't live in the area I still drive about 2 hours to go see her. She has more of an holistic perspective which I appreciate. The staff in the office are also very helpful & knowledgeable. I don't like visiting doctor's offices but Dr. Collins certainly helps ease an anxiety you might have. I'd definitely recommend her. read more

Dr. Collins is lovely, kind, and down-to-earth. I felt comfortable with her instantly and was quite impressed with the comprehensive family and health history that she collected. Her office staff is professional, efficient, and the wait time was very short. If you are looking for an OB/GYN who really listens to your concerns and has an amazing bedside manner, I highly recommend Christine Collins. read more

I was recommended to see Dr. Collins by several people and I'm so grateful I found my doctor!! She is truly a rare find and greatest doctor I've ever had. She really takes her time during my whole appointment to answer all my questions, is extremely patient, informative, kind and has terrific bedside manner. I've now recommended her to my family, friends and co-workers, who continue to see her (some even pay out of pocket, but it's worth it for the bees knees of doctors). read more

I just wanted to thank Dr. Collins again. My entire lady system is completely messed up because of having a severe vaccine injury. I now have a rare medical condition called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Dr. Collins is brave. Other doctors stood by while 100,000s of people like me with varying levels of injuries to severe disability like I have faced were treated horribly by a system that they have been a part of and always trusted. She never once said anything about being anti vax to me, but that she was heartbroken by the damage that had been done to individuals and that most doctors weren't helping because they were too worried about being targeted which is exactly what I have seen and others I know. She's a hero in my book. If you had been living the torture I have or one of your loved ones had, you would be begging and praying that a doctor willing to push back against what is basically tyranny now was in your corner. I am really so appalled still at the negative reviews I see about Dr. Collins. Before the pandemic doctors disagreed about all sorts of things. That's where the phrase getting a second opinion comes from. Inventing and making things better has all come from asking questions, having minority opinions and having healthy discourse. If you want a police state, than go move somewhere where that exists. I like having a physician that will read Stanford medical articles and miss whoever you are if you didn't believe if why didn't you go look for the article? See I know I'm intelligent enough to have found it, read it and understood it, but some people just like to shoot off hyperbole because the cognitive dissonance of it all is just too uncomfortable read more

Doctor Collins is the BEST! I have been going to dr. Collins since I was 18 years old, now 30. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about my health... which is SO rare to find. She listens and instead of giving you a bandaid for your problems ie: medication, she actually asks you about your life style, diet, etc and (at least with me) set me up with a nutritionist and holistic doctor. I have hashimotos (thyroid), PCOS and reactive hypoglycemia all of which effect hormones. So again, instead of suggesting the basic drugs, she put me in contact with the best holistic doctor/Nutritionist which has changed my life!! Low and behold, my thyroid is stable, I haven't had a cyst in my ovaries in 8 years and my hypoglycemia is under control all via diet and supplements. All because of dr. Collins and her tremendous determination to treat/cure her patients. She is a true gem!!! read more

Dr Collins is a wonderful and caring doctor who will go the extra mile for her patients. Her staff are really great as well. I've been seeing Dr Collins for years. High recommend! read more

Dr. Christine Collins is one of those rare doctors who takes the time to be present with her patients, building deep and trusted relationships with them. I've never had a more thorough doctor. And she's one of the coolest people on earth! And actually cares about the earth - super passionate about healthy farming! Dr. Collins doesn't just call it a day after all of the boxes are checked as one of LA's top OBGYN'S. Dr. Collins stays actively involved with the overall health and wellness of her patients. I began working with Dr. Collins about four years ago. What a god-send it was and is to have her as my doctor through the pandemic, when the majority of people want to avoid going to a myriad of doctors. When checking my hormones, Dr. Collins also does a full blood panel and was able to re-prescribe some of my medications when I've been unable to see my other doctors during these uncertain times. I know people who have Kaiser insurance, and they still choose to go to Dr. Collins for their gynocological exams. That's how good she is! read more

Dr. Collins is the doctor I have been searching for. She not only is the kindest, but takes the time with you and makes you feel like you have an advocate with your healthcare. In a world of doctors who just see you as another patient Dr. Collins showed me that there is still hope. She is truly incredible and I am so blessed to have found her!!! I used to dread seeing Doctors due to my medical past but this is no longer the case. She is a true gem!!! read more

Truly a lifesaver in the realm of obtaining a trusted OBGNY with the same values and beliefs around wellness. Empowerment around our choices as women and how we optimize natural hormonal supplementation IS key in aging optimization. As my cycle has changed and peri-menopause has escalated, I've had to revisit bio-identical hormone treatment a few times. So far the providers couldn't keep up with the progress. Until I met Dr. Collins! She understand the layers and is patient with my needs as an individual, while offering her years of personal + professional experience. FOREVER GRATEFUL! read more

Dr. Collins is absolutely the best! I can honestly say she is the best gyn I've ever been to. She's very friendly and caring and makes you feel comfortable right away. I really appreciate her approach of both western and functional medicine. It's a rare find in a doctor to be able to encompass both in practice. I am 33 and don't have children yet. She was able to put my mind at ease after having been to a fertility clinic that made me feel I was out of time. I can't say enough good things about her and her practice. Oh and I didn't even mention yet that she found a concerning thyroid nodule while I was in for my well woman exam. If it wasn't for her going above and beyond I would have never been able to go to the appropriate doctors to get this checked out. It's really heart warming and touching to know that there are still really great and compassionate doctors out there. I'm so thankful for you Dr. Collins! read more

Amazing gyno experience. Very helpful and made me feel completely comfortable. Dr Collins was very nice and professional.

Dr. Christine Collins has been my doctor for over 20 years. She is the most knowledgeable and compassionate person ever. She goes above and beyond and her manner and advice is impeccable. There is truly no one like Dr. Collins! read more

Stay away if you trust science. The first red flag was the inappropriate bedside manner after I told the doctor about sexual assault. PLEASE update your training in sexual assault, Dr! I was horrified at her questions and disbelief. Who did it and how it happened are not appropriate questions and you do not need to know. Second, she immediately started talking about leaky gut and quitting wheat and went off on Monsanto conspiracy theories for most of the appointment. She suggested eating only vegetables and fats, which I've done in the past with another cooky anti-wheat doctor and developed an eating disorder. This is not my first rodeo with doctors spouting leaky gut and wheat inflammation, and I told the doctor that I don't have celiac's disease, but she went on. Dr Collins, you are not a dietitian, I came to see you for pelvic pain. She recommended a supplement (I wouldn't be surprised if she sold it at a high price) which is an herb. It was at that point I realized I had wasted my $45 copay on a ridiculous quack. And then she recommended a podcast doctor (of course she did) which was the proof I needed to know that this doctor gets her facts from podcasts, blogs, and facebook. I believe the other comments that she's anti-vax and anti mask. She hardly wore her cloth mask correctly and moved it constantly. I'm reporting this doctor immediately. read more

Dr. Collins' practice is absolutely amazing. Starting with the office staff. All very friendly, professional and attentive. The follow up provided by them when making appointments and working through insurance issues has been extremely helpful. Dr. Collins is very professional, knowledgeable and open to discuss questions and concerns you may have. I truly appreciate the fact that she isn't ever rushing through any appointment... takes time to go above and beyond to ensure comfort and ease with procedures. I highly recommend this office if looking for a gynecologist in the area. read more

Dr. Collins office sent my account into collections, after I informed her staff that I was unaware of the charges I was billed for. Without notice, they sent my account into collections that put a huge dent on my credit, during the pandemic. I mentioned to her office, that I lost my job. This was and still is taxing on me emotionally and mentally. I have talked to other doctors who were compassionate and understanding with the current times regarding any outstanding accounts. I would stay clear of Dr. Collin's practice. I've talked to other former patients and they feel her practice isn't ethical. read more

6 years later I still think about this woman everyday and I can't believe I trusted her for years just because she made my annual exams quick and easy. This is not a humane or ethical doctor when you really need one. She should not be giving any women advisement or treatment and should be shut down for what she really is. If you think you want to have children one day do not go to this person. read more

I went to this office once, years ago. I never gave them permission to sell my personal information to third parties nor did I opt in to any marketing emails/texts. They continue to spam me with ads for really offensive, anti-feminist things....vaginal rejuvination, get rid of wrinkles, get rid of fat, etc. Jesus, don't women get enough of this crap without hearing it (unsolicited) from our doctors? The latest email is for a growth hormone scam that is reported as a scam on the "Quackwatch" dot com website. I tried calling the office to request they remove my email/text from their advertising. First they told me it wasn't from them, but I pointed out that when you call the office it says, "please press 6 if you are calling about the ads we emailed you". The receptionist said she would remove my contact info. I got a call the next day from the office manager saying she got a message that I wanted to make an appointment! I took her through the whole saga again....don't want to make an appointment, haven't been there in years, don't want ads, don't want spam, seriously unprofessional, etc. She hung up on me. I just got another ad emailed today. If you go here DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR CONTACT INFO!!!!!!! Since calling and emailing haven't gotten me anywhere, I'm hoping a report to the medical board will help. If it's not a HIPPA violation, it's certainly unprofessional conduct. read more

Okay, so this review is quite late. But it wasn't until yet another disappointing visit with a GYN that I remembered (again!) why I loved Dr. Collins. Due to crappy genetics (thanks, Mom & Dad!), I've been visiting GYNs since I was about 14. I've been to many, and I think that Dr. Collins is my favorite. I found her after I visited another GYN on the advice of my GP. The first GYN recommended surgery, but that first visit was so horrible (after my exam and tests, they left me in the room to dress and I sat and cried for a few minutes--the surgery was such a minor procedure and certainly not the cause of my tears) that I got a recommendation from a friend. That led to me to Dr. Collins (my friend's doc is in the same practice but was not taking new patients). At any rate, Dr. Collins spoke to me with respect and seemed open with information and recommendations. The office is incredibly well-organized so that visits are quick but don't feel rushed. Simple details like the little button you push to indicate that you are changed and ready, curtains in the room for changing, and other more delicate amenities made office visits almost enjoyable. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for this doc. I only wish I could find someone as fabulous here on the East Coast. read more

I saw Dr. Collins earlier this month to help with hormones. She was very kind and explained in detail the available options. I had my blood drawn there and a week later, Dr. Collins called me. Again, she was kind and forthcoming about my options. I followed her suggestion and am very happy with the results. Regarding the "sales pitch" or "unwanted emails", I have not experienced anything of the sort. There is a box to check on the new patient forms about emails, which I declined. Perhaps that's why. Dr. Collins is wonderful and the first time that anyone truly listened to what I needed. This was not a UCLA 8 minute visit where 2 nurses do the intake and the doctor breezes in without reading anything and asks redundant questions. read more

Dr. Christene Collins is great; however, her receptionist, Juliette, was very rude when I spoke to her on 10/26/2023 at 12:24 pm. I called because I had received a message stating that my results were ready and to schedule a telehealth appointment. I told her, 'Hi, I received a message, and they said my results are ready.' She responded with, 'Who's they?' Obviously, by 'they,' I meant YOUR OFFICE (who else would I be talking about?). I asked her to share my results with me since I was already informed that the office would provide the results over the phone. She refused and insisted that I must schedule a telehealth appointment for the doctor to interpret the results. I explained that I wanted to make an appointment but also wanted to know my results as far as the numbers. She retorted, 'Well, you never said that,' to which I replied, 'Well, I am asking you now.' She finally agreed to email the results. I don't understand why she had to be so complicated. This is very disappointing as I really like the doctor. read more

WOW-- I am mortified to see ANY negative reviews here. I had a terrible birth experience with another Cedars doc and many of my friends recommended I try Dr Collins. I did and have been happy ever since. She has NEVER behaved or advised me inappropriately. She goes above and beyond in her consults, and takes her time with the patient. She is willing to answer questions, adjust prescriptions, etc. She is in my insurance network and billing has NEVER been an issue either. read more

So impressed with this doctor!! She does not rush you, she makes you feel comfortable and answers all questions you may have, she is very thorough and addresses all of your concerns, and has polite office staff. Dr. Collins has a finesse- she is very smart, comes across as a kind caretaker, and you will feel at ease in her presence. Good ol' fashioned 'bedside manner." Easy first visit because all forms can be filled out online prior to your visit by opening the "New Patient" email they send you. The office lobby has a nice vibe and you will not feel awkward in the waiting area like some doctor's offices. Take the stairwell to the 4th floor and find her office adjacent to the stair well. (P.S. Their bathroom is super sanitary- which is a really big deal in my book!) Doctors are supposed to care for patients and help them but these days, this is hard to come by. Dr. Collins really does take great care of you! from, a grateful patient read more

This review is long overdue. I've been a patient of Dr. Collin's for years now and after seeing her this morning I realized it's time to write about it. I look forward to my annual exam because of the way I'm treated when I'm there. Dr. Collins and her staff are warm and personable. They answer all of my neurotic questions and also ask about me and how I'm doing as a human being. Anyone who can make you feel that confident while sitting in a paper dress is a winner in my book. Medically, I know I'm in the best hands and that Dr. Collins genuinely cares about my well-being. I'm very grateful that I have her as my doctor. read more

I had good experiences with Dr. Collins in the past, but I went in for the first time since the pandemic began and I won't be returning. While I was sitting across from her, she stated she doesn't believe in masks and also doesn't trust the vaccine. She said she'd been reading studies online(!) allegedly by Stanford Researches. But they sounded like theories that had all been disproven. Whatever her source was, it didn't sound trustworthy. She herself had the virus in December and because it wasn't a terrible experience, seems to think the pandemic is overblown. She made me feel judged for vaccinating myself and couldn't understand why my parents (both over 70s) should have been so worried about catching the Corona Virus. I believe I should have been informed of her beliefs before the appointment. I would not have gone to see her in the first place. read more

To be clear, this is not a review of Dr. Collins herself, this is a review of her TERRIBLE, unconscionable office. I made it clear to Dr. Collins' office when I first called to make an appointment that I was coming to get a Paragard IUD. I was made to get a "well woman" exam first (fine with me), and then they said they would order my Paragard. After weeks of waiting, I got a voicemail from one of the women, Anna, at her office, telling me that I would have to pay out of pocket for the Paragard and giving me no explanation. I called my insurance and was told that they covered Paragard IUDs 100% so there was NO REASON my doctor should make me pay for it out of pocket. I called the doctor back, was put on about 100 holds, was brushed off, and FINALLY reached this Anna woman who again, told me they simply wouldn't pay. She told me to go somewhere else. YOU ARE CROOKS. I hope you can sleep at night knowing you are keeping young women from the medical devices they need. read more

I have never been more upset and invalidated by someone with a supposed medical degree. I was told about her by a friend after moving to LA a bit ago and went to see her for possible blood work. The nurse who first saw me was extremely rude and unprofessional, but was nothing compared to Dr. Collins. She does not believe in antidepressants and told me that my depression stemmed from eating wheat. I have also seen that she doesn't believe in masks and the vaccine which is ridiculous for a medical doctor. I wasted 4 hours at this terrible establishment and hope women do not take advice from this "doctor". read more

Christine has been my Dr since my daughter was born in 1995. She's the best at what she does and she truly cares. It's hard to believe I've Been going to her for over 20 years now. I'd never leave her and I recommend her to all my fiends. read more

Best doctor around look no further she's amazing patient listens to all very knowledgeable very very

If I could give less than one star I would. My experience with Christine was 7 years ago and I still haven't recovered she performed a procedure on me in office and I still today believe put me in serious danger health wise. Left really I'll after with infection and hospitalized. She told me I didn't look so good but I was ok when I went for my follow up.... what kind of dr. Would ever? She should be shut down please stay away from this immoral practice. read more

I just left Dr. Collin's office and am disheartened to be posting a negative review. I've been seeing Dr. Collins for years and think she is amazing. My challenges have been with her office. First they rejected an important prescription that I've been taking for years with zero notice. I sent a note to the doctor who was kind enough to reach out and apologize for the inconvenience. Next I make an appointment and after waiting six weeks walked out of the office without being seen. Why? Apparently they don't take my insurance even though it's the same insurance they already had on file. I'm not upset that they don't take the insurance. I'm aware that this is not always within the practitioner's control. I'm upset because I took time off work, drove across town, and no one bothered to notify me in advance. I asked to speak with the doctor briefly so I could express my concerns to her (instead of online). The most aggravating thing is that I (and everyone else in the lobby) could hear her nurse saying that I'd have to wait until she was done seeing patients. Even though I was already on the schedule. Sad part is I would have paid cash for the visit if anyone would have apologized. A good doctor is far more important than a few bucks! So now I have to find a new doctor and I still don't have a filled prescription. Bummer. When running a business we're only as good as the team that supports us. It saddens me that Dr. Collin's team is tarnishing hers. read more

Just called today because I read the great reviews and the receptionist tells me she is not taking new patients, so why advertise and have a website if they are not taking new patients. Isn't why you became a doctor in the first place to help people. She could have said we can put you on a waiting list or rather the receptionist referred to her colleague you that doesn't take insurances but can give you a super bill. How convenient!!! Very disappointed it goes to show me that some medical doctors are only in for the money! read more

My former GYN from Cedars moved so I needed a new one and my Internist recommended Dr. Collins...then I yelped her and noticed that yelpers love her too. I went yesterday and I have to say...they were efficient there and friendly too. Dr. Collins caught a couple issues that I previously had and ran some extra tests that confirmed what I pretty much already knew and she offered different solutions. Oh and they thanked me for being on time...apparently most ladies are late to their appointments. I was in and out in no time. It is located in Cedars Sinai. Park at the Beverly Center and walk across because it usually only costs me $3 to park and Cedars parking can be $15 and up. read more

I like Dr. Collins, but I've called three times since December to speak to her about my MRI results and she ever called me back. I finally had to ask the front desk to fax me the results so I could get another doctor to explain them to me. Meanwhile, I get plenty of texts about cosmetic procedures....time for a new doctor, unfortunately, even though I like her personally and she is very sweet. Just seems like they're more focused on making money over there than maintaining a high level of patient care. read more

My family has unfortunately had to see its fair share of doctors - from epidemiologists to brain surgeons. Dr. Christine Collins is the most skilled, committed, and compassionate doctor to lay hands on any of us. My wife's recent surgery didn't go as planned, with unexpected and inexplicably prolonged post-op pain and symptoms. With absolutely NO OBLIGATION to, Dr. Collins took the job of following up upon herself - even though my wife was not her patient, and she was not the doc who operated! In her very limited spare time, she got to the bottom of the situation, finally providing my wife with an explanation for her post-op symptoms, and proposed solutions neither the surgeon nor anyone on his staff had thought of, nor treated effectively. Her office staff culture is bizarrely toxic, as others have noted. But if you can navigate that bramble bush, trust me - you will find a rare professional willing to go the extra mile to help you. Dr. Collins is an absolute gem. read more
