Significant/key reason I appreciate Dr. Collado is the fact he is highly respectful of me as a patient and as a person. He is forthright with a patient’s challenges but offers clear and present solutions—sending me to cardio pt, giving me insight to any and all procedures that may be down the road.

This was my first appointment with Collado so I was expecting a more in-depth conversation of my medical background. My conversation with Collado was cordial and professional but it felt a bit rushed.

11/21/2025

I know you are trying to make the visit more relaxed, but please try to act a bit more reserved, not so animated. More calm. Doctors need to be serious.

08/27/2025

I’m very happy with Dr Collado but sometimes I feel a bit rushed.

Great doctor, great bedside manner, makes you feel at ease,, easy to talk to. Addressed all concerns. Explains all results.

08/06/2025

He's great. Only one suggestion: Sorry, Dr Collado, but you really do talk too fast and sometimes it's hard to follow you and I have to ask you to repeat. Often, I don't remember what you said because it was too fast, so I read the after visit summary and notes. Slow down, okay?
