Collin W. Black, MPAS, PA-C

My journey into medicine was sparked during my time as a Navy Corpsman, where I often encountered athletic injuries. This ignited my passion for orthopedics and sports medicine. I found fulfillment in addressing musculoskeletal issues. I collaborate with my patients to craft a personalized treatment plan that suits your specific needs and preferences. Whether it's returning to sports or simply enjoying daily routines without pain, when patients are able to resume their favorite activities, I consider that a success. Witnessing this improvement brings me great satisfaction. The most rewarding aspect of my work is knowing that I've helped maintain or regain a person's quality of life. Making a positive impact on someone's well-being motivates me every day.

My hobbies and the injuries they caused sparked my interest in orthopaedic surgery. As an active outdoorsman, triathlete and skier, I’ve seen my fair share of hip, knee and shoulder damage. I learned to work nimbly with my hands through my love of woodworking. Combined, those skills and experiences made orthopaedic surgery a perfect fit. While completing a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Kansas, I worked with high-performing athletic teams including the Kansas City Chiefs. Yet my practice today involves care of patients of all ages and skill levels. Every patient is like a family member to me. I want them to feel supported. We are a team. In that team, my role is to ease pain so my patients can get back to the activities they love. I address anything from hip and knee restorations to ligament reconstruction, shoulder instability, tendon repair and fractures so that together, we can get you well again!

As a cardiologist, I work closely with my patients to ensure we make the correct diagnosis and select the best treatments based on scientific research. I want to help my patients feel their best, which takes teamwork. After each visit, I ensure they understand what’s happening with their health and what comes next. Every patient is unique, so I create a treatment plan just for them. Together, we figure out how to care for their heart health and work toward keeping them as healthy as possible. I explain medical conditions in terms that my patients can easily understand. Patients are the most important members of their care team, so I include them in every decision about their tests and treatments. This approach builds trust and makes patients feel more comfortable with their care. It also makes them more satisfied with the results. The best part of my job is seeing patients understand their heart problems and what we're doing to help prevent future issues. Our partnership becomes even stronger when they understand and participate in their treatment.
