Reviews of Dr. Brendan Collins (Plastic Surgery)

I met Dr. Collins one week after my diagnosis of breast cancer to discuss my options for breast reconstruction following my decision to have a double mastectomy. He described the procedures, their risks, benefits, and outcomes, and put me at ease. We agreed on a clear plan. He began my breast reconstruction at the same time as my double mastectomy. Once my breast surgeon removed my breasts, Dr. Collins placed tissue expanders under my chest muscles on each side, and injected saline into them at regular intervals over a period of time to create enough space for the implants. After twelve weeks, he removed the tissue expanders, and replaced them with silicone implants. I received exceptional care from beginning to end in his competent hands. He is not only an extraordinarily talented and gifted plastic surgeon, but he is also a supportive, caring and compassionate physician. He and his welcoming and dedicated medical and office staff made this frightening and challenging period not just endurable, but pleasant. The outcome has been beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Collins to any patient who chooses to have breast reconstruction surgery.

I had surgery in 2016 and now still having piercing stabbing pain that is located still in the same exact spot on the left side exactly at my incision where my drain was initially. The pain has NEVER gone away and it's 2019 now. I am a mother of 4, used to be vibrant and very active but now I have to live with incessant pain. I should not have to suffer like this. I also feel as though i was stereotyped due to residing in Baltimore during the onset of the opiate epidemic.. I did not receive help because the staff had preconceived notions...I could have been given some sort of physical therapy, referral, anything but nothing was done. I'm not sure what went wrong with the drain at my incision area but this pain is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I've had severe pain since my surgery. I called the office to request an appt. and the receptionist accused me of trying to get narcotics from them. I asked if all pain medication is narcotic...During my visit I was very uncomfortable. I never even asked for any narcotic and didn't know what the difference in pain medicine was in the first place...just want my pain to go away and for him to tell me why I still have this level of pain over a year later. He could have recommended some sort of Physical therapy or something. When I lift anything over about 5 pounds, I end up bedridden for 1-2 days unable to walk without pain. It's embarrassing and time consuming. I've always been a very active person so this has caused depression. I don't feel comfortable returning there. Generally speaking, doctor's visits are already intrusive enough...I am seeking help with other physicians and surgeons at this time. Come to find out, I have neuropathy. Gabapentin was prescribed by another doctor and to my knowledge it is not a narcotic so I'm ok. I also have had a nerve block which helps. My post surgery care with Dr. Collins should have been better.
