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.

Never again . I had the horrific experience of having a botched surgery. I understand even the best of surgeons can make a mistake but Dr. Mills was completely ignorant about what he’d done . He made me feel like I was crazy and even said “ If you were my wife I’d leave it alone “. Turns out my implants (HE chose not me) were too wide and I ended up having all the skin lift up between my breasts .It was extremely painful. I had to have 2 more surgeries and 3 yrs to fully recover . It was a very costly mistake to go to a DR so reckless. After 39 yrs of experience you think he’d know how to choose the correct implant size for a patient . He finally offered to TRY to fix it and just charge me for anesthesia but I didn’t trust him went to a specialist.

Dr. Mills is not only an amazing doctor but a wonderful kind caring man. I have been to his office several times now and have never been disappointed. I recently had Microneedling with PRP to my face per his suggestion and could not be more pleased with the results. Many of my friends are getting it done now after seeing how great I look. It made my face firmer, plump and moisturized with a beautiful glow. Minimal down time and no pain. I will be doing it again for sure!
