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.

Dr. Mills is wonderful, truly. She never rushes through an appointment and she is so thorough. I feel like she really listens to me and she will always answer all of my questions. She is very kind and gentle and she really makes us feel that she cares. I've had a few awkward/uncomfortable visits with her regarding my teen-age daughter and she was so non-judgemental and so caring...I really appreciated that. She's one of those really great doctors and I would absolutely recommend her.

We started seeing Dr. Mills when my daughter was about one year. The previous Doctor we had retired and we just ended up with Dr. Mills; I couldn't be happier. Dr. Mills always makes me feel our child is her priority while she's with us and eases my crazy worried mama mind. I have two daughters and no matter which one is in for a visit she always asks how the other one is doing (even when the other is absent). I adore Dr. Mills and would recommend her to anyone.

When you pass by her at her desk you see her on web md instead of actually taking the time out to diagnose your child. What was the sense of all them years in med school? Horrible bedside manner. Once you have a question or concern she replies sarcastically. You wait longer than the doctor actually sees you she's just quick to say it's anything just to get rid of you. Will defiantly be looking for a new doctor immediately for my son. This woman is a joke! "Doctor" I think not! Her staff is RUDE2

Dr. Mills has seen our daughter since she was a newborn (she is now 18 months). I have no complaints. She is extremely helpful courteous and has a good rapport with our precious girl. The facility is very clean and comfortable and the staff is very friendly.

Dr.mills has been seeing my child 2 years now. In the recent months i have notice a change in her...Horrible bedside manner. No sense of humor with the children. She is not very friendly. I will be looking for another pediatrician. The office staff is very friendly as well. Just overall bad experiences.
