Dedicated to Caring and Excellence

           Mission/Vision Statement

The center's vision is to provide state of the art oral and maxillofacial surgery of the highest quality to the regional area.  Our purpose is to improve the health and quality of life of our patients.

Our method of accomplishing these goals is to improve our patient's educational level and assist them with needed procedures in the oral and facial area.  All of the procedures and advice given to our patients will be directed at improving their long term quality of life.  Examples include better oral health, a more attractive smile or face, encouragement to live a healthy lifestyle, advice to reduce age-related illness, and anti-aging tips.

This vision will be carried out in an ethical manner with the patient's best interest always in highest consideration by Dr. Collins and his staff.

His training, professional memberships and experience are unique to this area of the country.

  3. Dr. Collins is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and is a fellow in the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
