I look forward to my visits with Dr Collier. He's cheerful and asks the pertinent questions to find the primary cause of my issue. I appreciate his calm demeanor and steady approach to the treatment. He knows I'm a less is more, I prefer less invasive protocol approach until more invasive treatment is my final necessary coarse. He is very tolerant. At 72 I'm certain we will approach greater intervention at some point and he will have no argument from me. His office is clean and staff are wonderful. I never have to wait long in the lobby. It's a great location at Fleming Island.

Dr. Collier was very pleasant and thorough on my first visit. Seemed very knowledgeable and confident about all my back issues that he would be able to help me with my issues. Answered all my questions although I felt a little rushed as he was already late in appts at 10am. His assistant was excellent in answering addl questions. More to come as treatment progresses.

Dr. Collier is very knowledgeable, takes time to explain any procedures that may need to be done and why. I’ve been suffering from lower back issues with shooting pains down my legs. He gave me an epidural and helped to calm the nerves. He will give you his honest advice. I fully trust him and recommend him highly

I saw Dr. Collier today in Fleming Island my first time seeing this doctor or being to this clinic. Everything was clean all the staff was very friendly went out of their way to make you comfortable as possible and when I met Doctor Collier he shook my hand and it’s very rare today that a doctor will shake your hand, so I was very impressed with that. He listened to everything that I had to say about what was going on with me and gave me his diagnosis on what he thought was going on with me. He ordered a lot of labs for me. Altogether, I am so glad I finally met Doctor Collier. I do think that he will be the doctor that finds out what’s wrong with me I gave this clinic and the doctor five stars. Wonderful place Very very professional.Patient Submitted Review

Prior to my first visit, I had been in significant pain with a compressed fractured lower back vertebrae. Dr. Collier quickly confirmed the diagnosis and laid out a treatment plan.

I can't believe how well I was taken care of. I have long standing issues that have been brushed aside. I often felt like I kept falling in the cracks with healthcare. I'd given up a few times on ever getting relief. I jad prepared stacks of previous records, then forgot them at work... I didn't need them. I didn't NEED to convince anyone. The tests were enough. I am finally going to be taken care of. Decades later... after the appointment I sat in my car crying. The emotional release of 24 years later.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Collier is a caring physician truly caring for his patients needs! He recently went the extra mile in sending me for a test that literally saved my life! This test ended up not related to the diagnosis that saved my life. He felt my original complaint to him wasn’t completely explained by the information given to him so he felt it necessary to explore it further. I am forever grateful to Dr. Frank Collier for his commitment to his patients and their well-being!Patient Submitted Review

I had my first office visit today and to begin with the lady up front is the perfect person to greet and register patients in, genuinely kind and helpful, I likednher immediately... When called to the exam room the assistant was equally nice and I was never uncomfortable in any way.. Upon meeting Dr. Collier I found him to be interesting, knowledgeable about my issues, ready to follow up upon his exam and the ideas he thought would be the best care for my issues ... I excepted his plan because I have been through enough procedures to believe his theories were on point and worth a go...Looking forward to what I hope is some pain free to much less pain and more ability to do the things I enjoy!rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Collier and his team helped nurse me back to health a few years ago, and brought me back from the edge of death and permanent disabling conditions. I recently experienced an incident that is providing me the opportunity to work with him again as my doctor, and I hold him in the highest esteem. To say that he is one of the best and most capable doctors that I have ever met, and one of my favorite people to work with is an understatement. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Collier again, and I know that we will have positive rehabilitative results. Gregg Mundt.rater8 Verified Patient

My husband had a knee ablation yesterday. Except for one shot that was a little painful, he was in and out quickly and was able to come to the dinner table and later get to his bedroom on his own without my assistance. We are excited to get the other knee treated (as well as his back) in hopes that each treatment will give him more pain relief. Thank you Dr. Collier and your team, for your knowledge, training and assistance and help. DB (wife)Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Frank, is one of the finest doctors in Jax that I have met since coming here over a year ago. Usually pain docs are shlock docks, with a background in anesthesiology and will roll you into one of their cash machines, which is a glorified "tens" contraption. Dr. Frank is the real deal, having fully gone the course as an MD, and then went on further into the advanced study of pain. He has helped me immensely. I love this guy. :-)Patient Submitted Review

Quickly diagnosed what was the source of my pain after a fall. It was quite different from what I was told at urgent care. He explained clearly what was happening, treated me, pain is gone, so he was right. Love this Dr. He also treats my octogenarian Mom for back pain, and she is doing very well now, after barely being able to walk.Patient Submitted Review

I was referred to Dr. Collier due to back & nerve issues after a very bad fall. I have a complicated health history with few autoimmune diseases that create add'l complications. So I'm very particular who I go to for care, treatment. Dr. Collier is very friendly, outgoing, caring & straightforward, he answers your questions & explains. He gives a treatment plan so not just address the cause of pain but to improve your quality of life. I've always been hesitant of back spine drs due to my few arthritic issues I can break easily as I have. So messing with my spine makes me bit anxious. That being said, I had a sense of calm with Dr. Collier. I feel I've got a very good start with his treatment plan but of course I have to follow and do my part. He very much ants to help you regain one's mobility with little to no discomfort nor pain. I've got a renewed sense of hope, finally. Thank you Dr. Collier, his medical assistant Zach and entire SOS staff team for a very pleasant experience.rater8 Verified Patient

I have been suffering with severe neck pain since September 2021 With no help from other Doctors. January a friend told me about Dr. Collier I was able to call and have an appointment in less than 2 weeks. I was able to finally have an MRI, that showed I have herniated disc’s. With in a short time I was able to have injections ( that we are still waiting to see if they helped.) I WILL recommend Dr. Collier to everyone. Him and his team have been the best I have ever seen in every way.rater8 Verified Patient

Thank you so much for my injection this morning, I will admit the initial injections sent a shockwave all the way to my toes rather unexpected. Hopefully it kicks in and does what it supposed to do. I can already see a difference although I am still a bit uncomfortable I’m sure that will change. I definitely am looking forward to getting the second shot for the right side as quickly as possible.

Dr. Collier was great. I was very anxious about the neck procedure and had been putting it off for weeks; however, the nursing staff and Dr.Collier exceeded expectations. He talked me through what he was doing and before I realized it, it was over in 5 minutes. His 27 years of experience was evident. Felt an immediate difference within hours and I’m now on the road to getting back to 100%. Can only blame myself for waiting so long. My advice? Don’t endure neck/back pain longer than you have to! Let him help you. So thankful to be relieved of the pain.Patient Submitted Review

By far one of the best medical professionals I've met to date. He is very hospitable, well mannered, while still being a down to earth guy, and a good listener. Most MD's will walk around with their nose in the air, and degree's floating high above their ego's, this is not the case with Mr Collier. He will treat you like a human being, while also sharing his own honest thoughts and opinions regarding your health and proper corse of treatment. He will not side line you with medical rhetoric, nor you or myself could ever hope to comprehend, but will explain what issues you are having with clear verbiage, one not of the medical field can understand. Finally his treatment plans are always fair, and he will weigh out options with you, rather than just prescribe treatment that only he feels is just.Patient Submitted Review

When I first met Dr. Collier, I expressed my extreme frustration and pain with my back pain. From the start, he had a plan that he was sure could help me. I just had my second ablation on the right side of my L4-L area. I am sitting here typing at my desk with no pain. I know that it is early, but I could tell walking out that something had changed. Dr. Collier gave he a new lease on my 73 year old life.
