Avanta P. Collier MD

Hello, my name is (PHI removed). I'm a patient of Dr. Collier. The first couple of questions I thought it was just a one or two answer. I meant to give her fours across the board. Service provider is fantastic. Staff is fantastic. Everything was great. Thank you.

Dr. Collier is amazing. My previous dermatologist was not patient oriented and the difference is staggering.

Great doctor Takes a while to get in but that is not her fault

I would like to say you don't have drs like her any more so grateful to have crossed paths with her. I can see why she doesn't have any appointments and is fully booked she's worth it will be bringing my daughter to her

Hi, I thought Avanta was good. I did let her know about other areas of my concern and she did say that, you know, she could look at those areas, but I could tell was kind of not wanting to, my opinion only. And then after her examination of my head and my scalp, she immediately offered a biopsy, but really had no opinion that she could give me of what the problem was. We went to a biopsy pretty quickly and I was kind of disappointed.

Dr. Collier was a gem. She was really sweet and amazing, and I could tell that she really wanted to be able to give me better care. However, I also know the system, and I know the limits of our health care system. Not the limits of our health care, the limits of our health insurance system, actually. Like, these limits have nothing to do with our doctors. We can tell if we're really paying attention. And it has everything to do with the way that the system is set up. And it kind of really sucks. We need more time, and we need more options, and we need for insurance companies who have no idea who we are, who don't see us at all, to not have a say.

After this appointment, I received a referral to go to the eye care center, and I really appreciated the timeliness of that office to get me in so quickly. They got me in within just a few days, and so I really appreciated that. Thank you.

It was a very busy morning and she was the only physician in the office, many patients waiting.

Please hire more medical staff in dermatology (Drs or PAs). Having to wait 8 months for a checkup appt, 3 weeks to have someone look at a bright red rash under my breast or wait an hour after my appt time to be seen by the doctor are all unacceptable. Do not feel I should have to default to Urgent Care or my Family Practice physician every time I have a skin concern. No continuity of care with my dermatologist because of her impacted schedule.

I had an overall good experience

Dr Collier made me feel comfortable.

Dr. Collier was great. Very professional attentive and respectful. It was my first time with her and I was very impressed. Kudos to her and her staff!! It was great!!!

Dr Collier and her staff are great and very attentive to her patients.

Very brief visit.

Awesome and Wonderful Experience!!????????????????

Well, doctor, she was real professional. She answered all my questions and she was really friendly and also, like I said, really professional. Thank you very much to have that kind of doctor in that clinic, PIH. Thank you.

Always does a good job.

I just want to let any whoever know Dr. Collier is an excellent, excellent dermatologist. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. No doubt about it.

Dr. Collier was very attentive and professional. She's a very, very kind and good doctor. I appreciate her.

It was somewhat difficult to schedule an appointment. However, my visit was very good. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, courteous, and professional. I was also very pleased to receive the doctor's sample products.

She is a wonderful physician and person. Personable and caring. Pleasure to deal wirh

Dr. Collier is very thorough and knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make the visit pleasant. Her staff is very friendly, understanding, and professional.

Everyone in office was professional, helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Collier to friends and family.

It seems like you need to hire a lot more Dermatologist. It took me a very long time to be able to get into see one.

My appointment was on time which is always appreciated. And Dr answered all my questions.

Dr. Collier was excellent. The staff is excellent. Very courteous, kind, and efficient. The first questions I asked, the tape is all mumbled. I wanted to give it the highest ratings on all questions, and I wasn't able to. I pressed a couple of wrong numbers, but you know that everything's outstanding. And I like Dr. Collier a lot, and I'm glad she's back. Hadn't seen her in a few years since she had her baby, but I was real happy with the service. Recommend it highly. And it's close to home. That really helps. Thank you.

Dr Collier and staff are professional, friendly and great at making you feel comfortable. Happy customer

Dr. Collier examined me with care and professionalism, and she gave me excellent treatment. I strongly recommend her to other people.

Overall she is very good at what she does

I like seeing Dr. Collier. She's friendly and listens to my concerns. I'm very confident in the treatment she provides.

Dr Collier provided helpful tips for treating my condition. I appreciated the insight and will be using the techniques she described for me.

Good Visit

It was a good experience for the most part the scary part was the elevator I know it's weird to say but other than that I had a good experience Dr Avanta Collier was nice and professional she did her job accordingly she was very courteous and polite she asked me questions she listened to me she didn't brushing me off he didn't rush she took her time the nurses were very polite and nice everyone there did their job they were very professional and nice and it was a good clean atmosphere I was a nervous going in but what made me nervous was the elevator it was quickly and it kind of scared me and small and I'll do well in small spaces but anyway the nurses and Dr.Collier took their time with me and gave me time to do my paperwork since I was a new patient and I appreciate it the time they took out to let me get myself relaxed and calm I really do appreciate it and my experience overall was great!

Dr. Collier did a great job. I really appreciate her. I've been seeing her for years. I accidentally pressed one for the, would you advise other family members to see her? I would absolutely advise other family members to see her. She is an excellent doctor and I appreciate her over the years. Thank you very much.

Doctor and all nurses and personal took excellent care of me, thank you

Very efficient process to freeze suspect spots and take biopsies. Doctor listened to my concerns about suspect areas. Very pleased with visit.

Dr Collier is AMAZING!

Dr. Collier made my biopsy pain-free virtually and it was very simple, something I wasn't looking forward to, but something that was done with no pain and very quickly and I thank her for that. Also, I would love to get a response as to the results as soon as possible because, of course, it's scary. Thank you. (PHI removed).

Okay, I think I mis pressed a button. So yes, I would definitely recommend this doctor and this care to my family. I think I pressed one when I meant to press ten. I think I messed that up. Anyhow, aside from that, there was a glitch in 2025 January. Your computer systems got hacked. I think I got lost for a year, and that's too bad. I wish I would have gotten a call back or something more permanent, but however, the computer system recommended me for another appointment, in which I kept. So that worked out. Just if you lose contact with patients, reach out to them. They're your patients. They belong to you, kind of. Anyhow, take care. Thank you. Thank you.

Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff.

It's hard to believe that getting skin tags removed is considered cosmetic by PIH and that I would likely have to pay for them if my insurance didn't cover it. Especially if the skin tags are in an area where they get irritated and grow bigger

Dr. Collier was courteous, friendly, respectful, listened to what I had to say, treated my issue on the spot, gave instructions before I left.

She was professional, kind and knowledgeable

The only thing I might suggest is if the front office is aware that the waiting room can hear their personal conversations they have.

Upon my arrival the front desk clerk was on a personal call that last approximately 10 mins (She was speaking Spanish to a family member) and delayed my ability to see the physician. In the background I noticed that the back office assistant/nurse was waiting for me to get checked in.

Doctor Collier was very professional and kind.

On my very last answer, I meant to put four.

Dr. Collier and the staff at the La Mirada office are always wonderful!

The doctor and her assistant were friendly and professional. The doctor is very warm and welcoming and explained things extremely well. I wish she was my primary doctor.

Doctors staff and doctor were excellent however front doors not working and 1 out of 2 elevators not working

Staff is welcoming and cordial. I see the dr monthly and make my appt 3-6 months out. Dr Collier is always warm and sensitive to my needs. I appreciate the ease of accessing the La Mirada office. All this combined makes my experience enjoyable.

I was safe and in good hands. Dr Collier does not marginalized seniors. I felt that instantly when meeting her.

Dr. Collier is always professional, friendly, and just a great doctor. Thank you very much.

Great (name removed) thank you for everything

I've been going with Dr. Collier for probably about three or four years, and she has been an excellent, excellent physician. I would recommend her for all of my dermatology care and any of my friends, and I just think she is absolutely fantastic. I have seen other dermatologists at PIH, and I will only go to her. That's the only one I will go to. I think she is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And she listens to me, absolutely listens to me. So I think she is a top-notch doctor. And I am a registered nurse for over 50 years, and I have worked with dermatologists. So I know what to ask and what to look for. And she is everything. She is a top-notch doctor. Amen.

Dr. Collier is caring and thorough. I'd recommend her to anyone.

I am highly satisfied about this visit to my Dermatologist. She is very courteous, knowledgeable and spent sufficient time with me to explain about my condition and have suggested and set up further Required treatments and visits. I sincerely am thankful to her and PIH Health Physicians. God bless you all

One elevator in the building was out of order and made for a lengthy wait; also the restroom in the Dr. ofc was out of order. These two incidents made my experience a little troublesome, however as far as my experience with Dr. Collier was very pleasant and professional. She is such a sweetheart!

The doctor answered all the questions that I had. I learned a lot about my condition, helpful.

Yes, Dr. (name removed) and staff were very friendly, professional, efficient. I would recommend them to anybody. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Very professional

Everyone was very nice and professional.

Very professional

Dr. Collier and the office staff are caring and kind and make me feel comfortable.

Great job

Dr Collier was wonderful. She listened and did a couple of small procedures I've been wanting done for years. I appreciate her very much.

Yeah, yes, I had a nice visit with the doctor and she seemed very thorough. Thank you.

Wonderful doctor and staff. All seemed genuinely happy and caring. 10 of 10.

Dr. Collier MD, Avanta, and her staff Is always amazing. The best Dermatologist I've seen. I like her feedback and the way she care for her patients. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

The doctor's care was very good.

Dr. Collier is excellent. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. She was able to diagnose my problems right away and suggest new treatment that would be more beneficial than what I had tried. I appreciate her concern and care. Of note: I had to wait almost six months for this appointment, which is not acceptable. My follow-up visit months from now was difficult to book due to a full schedule. Perhaps more physicians are needed for this specialty? Or PAs or NPs? The waits are far too long.

35 min wait after appt time due to multiple patients scheduled at the same appt time. I know you have to make money but you have to respect our time too!!

while the office staff was very friendly. The reason I didn't answer all 10's on survey is because I feel that I'm sure she's qualified as a Dermatologist, however in my case, I didn't really understand why she was not able to do anything for me and referred me to another Dermatologist. I was feeling good about seeing her and that I wouldn't have to start over with another provider.

Dr is very knowledgeable and understanding

Dr. Collier is always very professional, very friendly, helpful, informative, and it's always a pleasure to see her.

This provider was not very thorough in examining me and didn't explain or provide any information or feedback. She seemed preoccupied and was in a rush. The office staff is not welcoming or friendly at all. This was not a good experience.

Dr Collier is a wonderful Doctor. I wish my daughter could see her- unfortunately her insurance is with a different company.

The office visit was scheduled for 10, 30 a.m. and I didn't get seen till 45 minutes later. I would have preferred to be seen a lot sooner than that, understanding that we had a scheduled appointment and I was on a standard workday. So I gauged my time with the office in accordance with that. And unfortunately, it overran the expected time to be there. The office staff was very good. The doctor was outstanding. It was the timing in which I was seen that is in question. My information is provided. Call back to (PHI removed). I can expand further on that if you would like.

My experience was good. I got there a little early and was attended to within 15 minutes. Doctor treated me, explained my condition and I was done within 45 minutes.

Amazing team

Dr. Collier is always very proficient.

Everything went well at the doctor's office. I really love Dr. Collier. She's wonderful. I think very knowledgeable. The only thing that I see the issue is that it is very hard to get an appointment with her as soon as one wants it. It seems that there isn't enough doctors in the office, so the appointments are being set too far out. and that it's really not good. I almost considered going to another dermatologist because it was really hard to get an appointment with Dr. Collier. Thank you.

Dr. Collier and her staff were very nice. My issue is with how long it took to get an appointment with her. I called last May 1st to schedule an appointment and there first available appointment was on 9/15/25. That is unacceptable. I feel like PIH Health is failing it's patients with obviously a shortage of doctors.

I liked Dr Collier because she went straight to the point took care of my problem, explained everything did what she had to, and was very courteous, and respectful. Not like others that just gives you a little cream to see what happens.

There are not enough dermatologists available. The wait time to see one is months.

I have been under Dr. Collier's care for quite a few years now. She is very thorough and respectful. Her staff is very efficient and helpful.

Service is consistant in respect, courtesy, and the physician provides patient information in a kind and caring manner.

Dr. Collier was friendly and professional She gave me a thorough examination, noted several sites and discussed their significance with me. She also performed a biopsy. She is excellent.

My mole was froze but if it doesn't fall off in a while, I'll call doctor office to ask, how long it will take.

The customer was very, very honest, and she was very good at what she does. She helped us a lot, and we appreciate it, and we thank you.

Dr. Collier is helpful. She provided tips on how to care for my skin. I really appreciate her knowledge and her helpfulness.

Went to use the restroom and the lights didn't work

They have excellent staff. Thank you very much. I'm happy.

Dr Collier is very professional, knowledgeable and listens to solve concerns.

My doctor is professional and knows her work very well. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful! But I am unhappy the fact that it takes very long time to get appointments, no matter what doctor is needed. It is taking over 3 months to get appointments. This appointment with Dr. Collier was because there was a cancellation and lucky that I called. When I made my derma doc appointment, she was able in November. It was very necessary I needed to see her. Asked for any derma doc. None available. This was very frustrating because I was miserable! My only solution was I went to the pharmacist at CVS, recommended over the counter meds .. useless didn't work! Then I went to Urgent Care!!!! Soon after I had a regular appointment with my GP, he informed me wrong meds!!! Luckily there was a cancellation at my regular derma doc so I was able to see my dermatologist. My bone of contention is you please find a solution to this problem. I don't think the Emergency is the answer either. My experiences with this is the very long wait too!

My brother and my wife also see this provider based on my recommendation. Dr. Collier is thoroughly professional and personable. She listens and explains things clearly.

Love Doctor Collier

Wonderful Experience!!???????

First time meeting Dr. Collier and really enjoyed her bedside manner and good care of me. Thank you!

It was a doctor new to me so I expected a little wait for the appointment. It won' be a problem next time.

Dr. Collier is wonderful. I totally trust her and admire her professionalism with kindness and caring. She is efficient without giving the impression of being rushed.

Excellent experience at the La Mirada PIH Dermatology office: front desk staff were super-friendly and there was little wait time. Dr Collier was amazing at listening to my concerns about a new spot on my forearm, skin-checking my back for any additional spots, and recommending and prescribing a product for my keratosis pilaris. I'm glad to have her as my new dermatologist and look forward to visiting again in six months for a follow-up check on the spot on my forearm.

Dr. Collier was running a bit behind, however, she was extremely apologetic for the delay and saw me as soon as she could and was able to address all my issues. The office staff was professional and nice; they let me know about the delay as I had checked in and even offered water to all the patients while we were waiting.

It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Collier. I actually look forward to each visit because everyone is so pleasant.

Very friendly and professional

Dr. Collier is very helpful.

The experience with Dr. Avanta Collier was very, very pleasant. I wanted to put all fours, but I made a mistake and pressed one on accident. So they're all fours for her. Thank you. Bye-bye.

I saw this provider a year ago for hair loss. She told me to try topical minoxidil first. So I did and it did not work well for me. During my most recent visit, I ask her for the prescription and was told that she did not want to give it to me since I was on Spironolactone (50mg) and didn't want to give me something that would lower my blood pressure. However, she said that if my PCP was ok with it, the. She'd be ok with my PCP writing a prescription for me. I asked my PCP and she said she only prescribes minoxidil for hypertension. So I wasted $50 for the visit since she didn't do what I requested. I will not return to see this provider.

Not enough time to explain and all staffs are not nice

Unfortunately I had to wait 12 months for this appt Was a. Update on precancerous condition in the right side of my face Dr took a biopsy- I am scheduled back in September for recheck & more options Dr Collier is helpful $ explains procedures

Great staff, awesome doctor. Very professional, thorough examination, very friendly atmosphere, always a positive experience.

The office staff and doctor are wonderful.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

I thought my appt was at 1.:15 and it was at 11.15. They had no problem squeezing me in at 1.15! (PHI removed)

I received the upmost care that one might experience!

I had to wait about 5 months for an appointment

Yes, Dr. Collier is a very good doctor. I appreciate her professionalism and her knowledge.

My only concern was my follow up scheduled for January 2025 was rescheduled for a different day and time without calling me and then rescheduled to June 2025. Not the fault of the dr

I didn't feel comfortable. Office girls were discussing me as a third person as to why I was there. I interjected and they brushed me aside. My doctor wanted a biopsy done and the doctor said they don't do it there. What a waste of my time. Usually p I h is very professional.

Yeah, I was told I would be at an appointment in two months follow-up. Then I find out that I get a six-month follow-up appointment. And the doctor told me I would have a two-month appointment. And that wasn't true. I'm a little upset with that. Thank you.

Staff was friendly and courteous, both office and medical. Dr. Collier was great.

For the first question, I would have picked four, but I jumped at that and pressed two instead. (name removed), the receptionist up front, was extremely great and kind. She helped me get an appointment the same day given a very urgent skin matter, and she helped me see Dr. Collier, who I had seen previously. So, (name removed) was phenomenal, and she offered me great customer service and samples when I was checking in the lobby. Dr. Collier was nothing but exceptional. She really listened to what I had to say, answered my questions thoroughly, and provided clear instructions and great bedside manner for giving me the treatment plan, the directions. So, I'm only a few days in, and the medication that she gave me is already healing my skin. Nothing has worked.

My provider, Doctor, she was wonderful. A wonderful doctor. Thank you.

Staff are pleasant and made me comfortable
