R. Scott Collins MD

A quarter-century of spine surgery in the Quad Cities — thousands of operations across Trinity Rock Island, Moline, and Bettendorf, MercyOne Genesis Davenport and Silvis, and the Crow Valley surgical suite at the practice's own Bettendorf address. Fellowship-trained through the San Francisco Combined Spine Surgery Fellowship at Stanford Medical Center and St. Mary's. Twice elected to lead his peers — Chairman of Surgery at Trinity Medical Center (2023–2025) and Chairman of Orthopaedic Surgery before that. A device designer whose royalty-bearing work is in the Globus VIP cervical plate. His range runs from multi-level fusion to arthroscopy and joint replacement — and he now brings that judgment to the practice in a senior, part-time role — seeing patients in Waterloo: experience, on call.
