Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I highly recommend Dr. Miller
I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Miller. He is a wonderful doctor! He has expert knowledge, experience, and is kind, caring and compassionate. He really listens and also takes the time to explain the medical details in a way anyone could understand. I am so grateful that he was able to see my daughter and help her out with her shoulder issues.

Right Shoulder Diagnosis
X-ray of shoulder revealed problem. Cortisone shot relieved pain. Follow up will decide if replacement surgery can be put off or scheduled.

Dr. Miller did not examine e at this visit as it is too soon to receive another Cortisone shot. He has such a warm and comforting manner that even when not giving me a shot or giving me any other examination, he makes me feel better.
