Philosophy of Care

My goal is to meet patients where they are in terms of their illness and understanding of that illness. I very much enjoy partnering with patients to create a care plan that we both agree is the best possible path for that individual. It is important to me to be honest with my patients about their disease. I enjoy getting to know my patients as whole people, in addition to knowing about their lung disease. This not only helps me better care for people, but has also brought me a great deal of joy over the years.

Dr. Collins is BY FAR, the best doctor I have seen. She was like Nancy Drew in her determination to get to the bottom of my problem. She thought outside the box, looking beyond her specialty to get to the root of the issue I was having. Dr. Collins is the one who identified and solved the problem (which turned out not to be lung-related).

Dr. Collins is a rare combination of superb medical knowledge and highly focussed and dedicated patient care. During the meeting she gave 100% focussed attention and made me feel that I am the most important person during the meeting. Three times she asked me if have any more questions. Her meeting notes are very through and responds quickly to all messages. She is very good at multi tasking and controls the meeting flow and manages the time very efficiently.

Dr. Collins was very familiar with my records Including imaging and also a very attentive listener to my recounting of my experience of my respiratory issues over the past year and a half or so. She communicated in a direct manner, not in any way condescending, so that I felt completely at ease. She was friendly in a professional way.

I was VERY impressed with the Dr. Collins. She had reviewed current and prior scans. She had Investigated my rare disease condition and the chemo medication that I take. We reviewed the CT scan together. She had recommendations and a plan of action. I am going to recommend her to my primary care physician as a good contact and will recommend her to friends when needed.

Dr. Collins is an excellent Physician. She is very knowledgeable and explains medical stuff in a way that is easily understood. I am working through a health issue and there are two other specialists involved and they all communicate with each other (very impressive). She does pre-work before my appointments and reviews any tests that were done prior to the appointment. I have great confidence in the care I receive from Dr. Collins.

Dr. Briget Collins is the reason I transferred from U of W Hospital to Evergreen. It is not often I can find a doctor which whom I have such rapport. She listens to what I say, answers my questions, and she is caring. I credit her with keeping me alive. We need more doctors like Dr. Collins.
