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.

Poor Communicator, Poor Bedside Manner
I was reeling from my diagnosis and in walks Dr. Miller. She was difficult to understand due to her accent. Her vocabulary made her sound uneducated and unprofessional. Her bedside manner was terrible. My husband, Mom and 2 sisters were all in the room for this appointment and we all felt very uncomfortable with her and unanimously decided to choose a different hospital for my treatment due to this experience.

Dr. Miller is an excellent surgeon who takes the time to explain and answer your questions. But if you're looking for a sympathetic and compassionate surgeon, you're better off finding someone else.

On February 7 @ 10 am I was told via phone I had breast cancer. By 1:45 pm I was in the face of Dr. Miller being informed, educated, comforted, and given the best treatment plan for me. God positioned me in the hands of the most compassionate, confident, and competent Surgeon ever imagined. That life changing diagnosis proved to be manageable with Dr. Miller explaining my options with her expertise. I have had a Lumpectomy that is healing well, with very little discomfort. I am forever grateful!

Dr. Miller presents and explains all available information (including MRI scans) patiently and with kindness. She is still direct with her recommendations and spent time answering all of my questions. I left my appointment feeling like I had a plan in place to deal with my issue. I appreciate her expertise.

I would never recommend this doctor to my worst enemy! I had a terrible experience with her for multiple reasons. To begin with, she asked me how my biopsy went after my last appointment, yet I hadn't had one done! She was extremely demeaning to myself and my mother, who came along in case any procedure was going to be done. She never answered any of my questions with anything other than I see a lot of breasts and well I see cysts that are 5cm. Last time I checked, cancer starts with 1 cell.
