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 have been seeing Dr Miller more than thirty years and he has taken excellent care of my vision, and the staff is always efficient and polite.

Dr. Miller performed retina detachment surgery on both of my eyes. He was very supportive of me and fully answered all of my questions. He is a excellent retina doctor and surgeon. There were no problems after surgery. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good retina doctor.

Not willing to setup payment arrangements due to balanced owed. After calling billing to make payment arrangements to no avail, then I was told to talk to Dr. Miller. Upon my visit 11/10 I was told I could not see the doctor until balance is paid. I waited from 11:00 to 1:00 for scheduled transportation. They finally took a paymnt as I was leaving, they refused payment upon my arrival to see doctor, when I made an attempt to make payment. I want to pay the bill however this is a hard time for me. My co pays are high for specialist and I am seeing three different specialists now. I think Dr Miller is a competent doctor with compassion. However I be got enough going on and the frustration doesn’t help …

Dr. Joel Miller is an extraordinary retina specialist. Twenty-one years ago he repaired my fourteen-year-old son’s detached retina. His corrected vision enabled him to get excellent grades in high school and college. He obtained a law degree and is now a referee in the Circuit Court of Wayne County. My mother-in-law had macro degeneration which was controlled by Dr. Miller so that she could still drive a car at the ripe old age of 88. My wife had retinal surgery which really improved her vision and that was in direct contradiction to her ophthalmologist’s recommendation not to proceed. Obviously, Dr. Miller is much smarter than the average bear (aka eye specialist). And I have been examined for a wrinkle in my eye. Dr. Miller always listens to us and just does not whisk in and out of the examining room like many other doctors we have dealt with over the years. My wife, son and I definitely recommend Dr. Miller to all seeking vision saving procedures and care. Roman Kwarcinski

Dr. Miller is an outstanding, very personable retinal specialist. He completed a comprehensive examination of my eyes and diagnosed a vitreal tear in my right eye. He explained the condition with clarity and instructed me in what to expect next. I saw him today in a follow-up visit and, once again, he completed a thorough examination, answered all my questions, and reviewed what to expect with this condition. I really appreciate his genuine, friendly and approachable manner. Should I need retinal care in the future, I most certainly would want to be seen again by Dr. Miller. I would like acknowledge and thank him again for his exceptional care of me. I would also like to acknowledge his ophthalmic tech (Raul) and medical assistant (Tori) for their professional skills, and for the kindness that they extended to me.

Horrible experience and a complete waste of time. Did not listen to my concerns, told me what my options were but said that if I did see the referred doctor he/she would just “laugh at my symptoms”.

Dr. Miller has done retina surgery on my wife's eye and was very good at that. The issue I have is that on a follow up appointment due to scar tissue build up (not necessarily his fault), we waited an hour before the first nurse took my wife back. We have now waited another hour AFTER all of the tests just to see the doctor. This is quite rude as my wife and I both took off early from work for a 2:20 appointment. It is currently 4:40 and she has yet to see the doctor. We got an apology.Wow

Dr Miller is one of the very best doctors! He has saved my eye sight many times over. When he had to do surgery on my eyes, he took the time to explain what he needed to do. He kept me very calm. Great doctor.
