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. McMillan TOTALLY misdiagnosed me and had I not gone to my IBJI doc the following week, I would have been in an Aircast for 8 weeks for nothing! He diagnosed possible stress fracture, my doctor diagnosed bone spur at ankle joint. The cast made things/pain so much worse. My Dr gave me steroid injection and in two days, pain is gone. Will NEVER see Dr. McMillan for care again.

I went to Dr. McMillan for trouble with my knees. I was very unhappy with his "bedside manner". He recommended a procedure and then told me if I wanted it done, he was in a hurry and that I needed to decide. I did not trust my gut and let his "hurriedness" pressure me into making a decision. Now several months later, my knee hurt more than it did before the procedure. If he hurries you, walk away. Not a very carrying way to treat a patient.
