    
A Group of Individuals
As part of the practice's team approach to patient care, Dr. Collins encourages his staff to pursue their interests and areas of strength. This freedom not only boosts morale, but also makes for a highly effective team. "Everyone brings a different set of skills to the table," he said. "We try to let everyone have their individual expertise and I think that helps to promote internal growth in the office." Dental "experts" exist around every corner of the sprawling practice. The office's whitening pro knows more about bleaching methods than any of the doctors, and the sterilization specialist understands her area inside and out. "We let people run with their abilities and they come to the plate and do a great job for us," said Dr. Collins. Nearly every dental specialty is covered by the doctors of Collins Dental Group: Drs. Deter and Woodrick are strong in oral surgery, Dr. Newkirk enjoys working with children and Dr. Wines is skilled at calming dental-phobic patients. While all of the doctors don’t consider themselves specialists and refer patients outside of the practice when necessary, these special skills allow them to work as a team and interchange referrals. An Unwavering Vision From the front office to the back, mutual respect, pride and appreciation flow freely throughout the 10,500 square feet of this office. The associates and staff credit Dr. Collins for making such a positive work environment possible. "Dr. Collins is a great leader, practice owner and a good person to work with," said Dr. Wines. "He treats us all with respect and appreciates our input on every aspect of the practice." Dr. Woodrick echoes Dr. Wines’ sentiments. "Dr. Collins had a vision he wouldn't waver from," he said. "He gives us room here to practice the way we want to practice. It’s like having a mini-practice within a large group and we can all play to our strengths, which enables us to be successful." While the beautiful new office and cutting-edge technology and equipment have played a role in attracting dozens of new patients, Dr. Collins believes his associates and staff – and their dedication to patient care – are the foundation of the practice’s success. "We have a great facility, a great staff, but most importantly, we have the patient’s best interests in mind," he said. "This practice is our attempt at doing the best we can do for patients right here in Sycamore, Illinois." For more information about Collins Dental Group, visit www.collinsdentalgroup.com.
