Critical care specialists like Dr. Collins provide life-saving care for patients in critical condition.

Dr. Collins may also work to stabilize patients and perform time-sensitive, potentially life-saving procedures.
Palliative care physicians provide specialized medical care for people living with serious illness. Doctors who specialize in palliative care focus on providing relief from symptoms and stress, offering care that is focused on improving quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is appropriate at any age, and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided along with curative treatment.

When necessary, Dr. Collins can also refer patients to specialist physicians when medically needed. As an example, patients with severe liver problems could be referred to a hepatologist for additional medical tests or treatments.
