Patient Reviews
The staff at ORA are wonderful. They are efficient and professional and still cheerful. Dr Collins answered all of my questions and was very thorough. I would recommend ORA to anyone with orthopedic needs.
I had both hips replaced. Even though Dr. Collin’s was short on words during appointments what he did say was exactly what needed to be said. My recovery was exactly what he said it would be. I feel that what Dr. Collin’s and ORA has done for me is beyond words thank you to both of them.
dr Collins is a wonderful dr so easy to talk to .. so glad he is my surgeon
Very professional and satisfied with my surgery! Great company ora. Would come again
Not sure how things are going visit was short but to the point. We don’t know what the plan is yet will find out down the road a bit. Dr Collins is a very nice person down to earth had no problem communicating with him he even has a little sense of humor
He was really efficient and direct with the tratement and also answered all my questions.
Dr. Collins explained wharl was going to be done To deal with my issues.
Have been going to ORA for several years now and they have always made me feel better with their care and compassion about my health. Dr. Collins is a new Dr. For me and helped with my swollen knee issue. He cared about my health and showed it. I will be going back to him in the future. Thank you Dr. Collins , had a great visit yesterday. Feeling a lot better today.
Good experience. Very smooth transition from location/ procedure to the next. Dr. was easy to understand and helpful. Visit went very well.
DR Collins recently performed a full hip replacement on my left hip, and I highly recommend him. He took all necessary steps to ensure that a hip replacement was what I needed. He and his ORA Team did a great job of preparing me for surgery and recovery, and they were always available to answer my questions. Follow up visits have confirmed that the new hip is healing properly. I'm almost 70 years old and feeling the effects of 35 years in the U.S. Army. Thanks to DR Collins I feel better than I have in years. Thanks Doc.
Direct, excellent
I'm going into what will be my 2nd surgery with Dr Collins. First one was successful and I expect nothing less this go around. I personally like his no beat around the bush straight to the point approach on my back injury. I'm yet to have a bad Dr visit or procedure with Dr Collins.
Dr Collins was excellent at understanding and analyzing my issue. He did a great job for me; L4-L5 transforaminal fusion. I had debilitating pain in my leg and it is now gone. Back to normal in 6-8 weeks. A professional surgeon!!
First time to him, friendly enough, developed a plan for knee replacement surgery. Hope he has a steady hand.
Thank you Dr Collins for your directions. Ora is great!
I thought Dr Collin’s was excellent and very knowledgeable in his field and was very helpful to me.
He’s very nice and professional I recommend him to anyone with back issues
Great Doctor. Very nice and listens to your concerns.
Dr. Collins was great the staff at ora is great Dr. Collins had a good attitude and he was easy to understand would recommend to anyone needing spine surgery thank you
Scott is professional and knowledgeable as a physical therapist. He’s helping me get back on track to healing of my ankle. A++++
I really like Dr Collins. He tells me exactly how it is.
Friendly, professional
Dr. Collins was thorough in his assessment and took the time to discuss my condition and showed me the x-rays that confirmed his diagnosis. I appreciated his directness. Almost two years before seeing Dr. Collins, I noticed my left foot was dropping when I walked. This got worse over time and became especially noticeable when I started lap swimming after retirement. My left leg just wouldn't work right. After mentioning this to my primary physician and referral to a neurologist who ordered nerve conduction testing, a nerve blockage was found but not a specific location. I was referred to pain management for sciatica which was hoped to resolve the foot drop. It worked for the pain but not the foot drop. I was referred to Dr. Collins who did x-rays, reviewed all other tests and determined that my L5 vertebra had slipped forward. He indicated that back fusion surgery was my only option for resolution. I had the major surgery and the first time I put my left foot on the floor in the hospital, my foot drop was gone. After four weeks post surgery, I returned to lap swimming and over the course of the next three weeks swimming three times a week, I was back to swimming my two miles with my left leg working just like my right leg. It's amazing! I have no pain. Dr. Collins was a great choice for me to resolve my back problem.
Nice guy spent as much time with me as needed
Dr Collins seems to me to be very knowledgeable and professional. I’m happy to be one of his patients.
Fabulous car! Thank you
Dr Collins was prompt, professional, and personable. He listened to my issue and oncerns. He offered a way forward and made what needed to be done to meet my schedule.
Very nice and also to the point. I liked that.
Dr. Collins can definitely help if you suffer from back pain. I am very confident in his diagnosis and treatment plan. I am on my way to a better quality of life. Don’t wait another day! Make an appointment asap. You won’t be sorry!
Quick appointment and felt like I was getting results
I have been patient of Dr. Collins since 2017. he’s very professional, good listener, and always follows up to see the progress.
Doctor collins is amazing, One of the best surgeons around.I hope is around for a long time.
A good experience. Questions were answered. Short waiting periods.
Dr Collins was very nice and explained everything well.
My visit with Hannah at Urgent Care at ORA was a great experience. I was in pain and there was no wait time. The staff at ORA are organized, proficient and professional. Highly recommend ORA for Orthopedic!!
My experience at ORA has been outstanding. Dr. Collins reviewed my MRI in detail and provided an optimal treatment plan. He is friendly and easy to talk to. The staff at ORA are welcoming, organized and proficient.
Dr . Collins is a very wonderful dr.
I’ve been to ORA for 4 surgeries and I was highly satisfied with the 2 if the 3 surgeons and their teams. They were caring, knowledgeable, skilled and professional. I would strongly recommend Dr Collins and Dr Connelly!
This doctor is very knowledgeable. He is also very honest and stated that for me surgery was not indicated.
Called at 9 am and had an appointment the same day @ 3:00! Thank you so much! Hopefully the meds will help my hip arthritis or on to a cortisone injection 🤞🙏
Had a post surgical situation, Dr. Collins got me on immediately, prescribed the necessary medicine, problem solved. First class practice, first class doctor.
Check in good, xrays well, and Dr. was good about explaining what he was going to do.
Dr.Collins and staff have been very helpful and informative. My first hip surgery was very successful. One more to go!
On time appointment! Dr Collin's very willing to help me with the knee problems
Dr Collins is a great back surgeon, unfortunately I have to have a second surgery. Nothing he did, I tripped over my dog and landed on my backside and hurt my back. It has been 15 great years since my first surgery, that was a level 2 fusion of the L4-L5, L5-S1.
Very down to earth and professional. Looked for the cause of the issue instead of just giving an injection and moving on.

Nice gut, felt comfortable speaking with him
Dr. Collins has performed my back surgery and my right shoulder. Both now work perfectly. It’s time for the left shoulder to have surgery and there is no one else I would rather have perform this except for Dr. Collins.

Always available for questions. Dr does not waste a lot of time with chit chat but he gets the job done. I have been his patient for 6 years.
Dr Collins was friendly and knowledgeable. He took time to explain my neck condition and told me all of the treatment options. I highly recommend him.
Had a bad fall and some scans, and he was great with going over everything with me.
Nice place and i was treated with respect and kindness ??

Always will to listen to whatever is bothering you and excellent surgeon if it come down to that.
Dr Collins was very patient and caring. I liked him alot and feel that I will get good care from him.
He agreed to examine me before concluding I did not need x-rays at this time. Calmed my fears about my diagnosis. Offered any help in the future should symptoms return.
He's very personable and clear about your situation and option. His bedside manor is comforting and he gives you the information you need to make an informed decision.
I would like to highly recommend Dr Collins. He did “extensive” back surgery on me. He was skilled and caring. My life has changed because I can now do things that were causing me such pain. He listens and answers all my questions. Thanks Dr Collins!!
It all went will and Dr. Collins answered all my questions in a very understanding way.
I would recommend Dr. Collins.
Dr. Collins and staff did a great job. Told me what to expect and what I needed to know. I feel great and my pain is gone, and able to walk again, with my new hip
Dr. Collins was very helpful with my hip concerns explaining the likely cause and recommending me to a physical therapist.
Dr. Collins was very easy to talk with. He explained to me the results of the X-rays and MRI and told me about options. Great personality as well as a sense of humor. I was very at ease speaking with him.

Dr. Collins provides outstanding professional service to his patients!

I visited ORA and Dr Scott Collins .My problem was taken care of and Ibam doing much better now.
As advertised. MRI and diagnosis with treatment plan in a week and a half. Efficient experienced and professional.
I am and have always been impressed with ORA. They are professional, cheerful, helpful and organized medical staff and Doctors. I have seen several Dr’s at ORA for my shoulder, wrist, sprained ankle, broken fibula, foot & now my back. I had spinal stenosis and had surgery in 2004 at a different facility but in March ‘2023 I fell down several stairs and was having some back pain. Very concerned and scared due to previous surgery that I might have done some damage. So I went to see Doctor Collins which I was referred to. He reviewed the x-rays they took the day of my appointment and said my rods and screw were still intact from ‘04 surgery and no broken bones. He recommended physical therapy for my back. Dr Collins has an awesome bedside manner. I was in and out of my appointment in 22 minutes. I did feel rushed but satisfied with process.
Dr. Collins has enabled me to enjoy a good quality of life with his knowledge and skill. He makes you feel confident that he can help you with your issues. Very honest. Very down to earth. He represents ORA with integrity and high standards. When you meet Dr. Collins you just assume that all the associates and partners have similar traits. I believe he has helped to create a nurturing and empathetic culture in the clinic.
Everyone makes the place feel homey I love that
I experienced back pain 10 years ago. The pain was awful and went down my.rigjt.leg since it was pressi.g om the nerves. . I took shots in the L4 and 5 area with fair results until last fall when the shots were no longer effective. I then consulted with Dr. Collins about the next step. He recommended a operation to stabilize my vertebrae with rods and screws. That made 100% difference. The pain is gone and I feel great. He did a great job!
I have been to ORA in Moline with my husband for a hip replacement many times. We have always been treated cordially and efficiently. The wait times have been very brief overall. Dr. Collins is very personable and competent. He projects confidence in himself and willingly answers any question or concerns we had. The surgery went smoothly and quickly in spite of how damaged my husband’s hip was. His whole team was kind ,considerate and helpful to us at all times. Overall, my husband’s hip replacement surgery was very needed, but made very bearable and pleasant by Dr. Collins and his team. We would gladly recommend Dr. Collins to anyone in need of replacement surgery.
Very satisfied with the services I have received from Dr.Collins. My back surgery went well. Questions were responded to and answered so they were easy to understand. Thank you to Dr. Collins, office staff and surgical team. All were very professional!
Great all around. From the first consultation to surgery, Dr. Collins explained everything to me and was straight forward on what to expect (which was so nice to know upfront). He has a friendly personality, which put my mind at ease. I had knee surgery and so glad Dr. Collins did it. Thank you!
Dr. Collins and Dr. Hashmi are hands down wonderful to work with. I had a laminectomy 5 years ago and he fixed me up great i was able to go back to my normal active fitness life. Flash to now and i now have a new problem and Dr. Hashmi has been so understanding and helpful ( especially dealing with a stressed bride to be) and having to go back to Dr Collins he once again was wonderful, caring, remembered me and i couldn't ask for better doctors taking on my lower back issues
Dr. Hashmi is the best doctor I have ever met hands down. He is my pain doctor and is also my biggest advocate. He has listen to me and knows my pain is real and has helped work with me to get seen by people who are top in their field ( like meyo & rush). Sadly I lost faith in my surgeon at ORA. He did preform both my surgeries well but when I started to have sciatica pain 4 months after surgery I felt like I wasn’t taken seriously. I felt brushed off since he couldn’t find the problem. It’s been 6 months and it’s only gotten worse so I am thankful for Dr. Hasmi for providing the best care as a pain management doctor and also being the one to go above and beyond to help try to solve the issue.
I've been seeing Dr. Collins since December for a herniated disc. He thoroughly went through treatment options and discussed what he thought would and wouldn't work. I decided to go the non surgical route at first and when I ended up in the ER he promptly did surgery for me. I've never felt better. All of my pain is gone and I'm healing quite well. He did a fantastic job.

We discussed my condition, treating me like an adult. Note: He could update his picture.
Dr. Collins preformed a procedure abbreviated to A.L.I.F. He inserted an artificial disc into L5-S1 for the fusion. He took the time to explain the risk and benefits of what I should expect from the surgery. Answered all my questions in-depth with great detail. He was amazing I would recommend him in a heartbeat. My family and I thank him very much for giving me a better quality of life
Great doctors, and very good results
Excellent patient care, able to explain in non medical terms enabling the patient to make educated decisions based on their personal healthcare needs.
