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.

Wonderful OBGYN
Dr. Mills was extremely professional, considerate and kind. She warned me about everything that was about to happen during my appointment and check up. I even brought up the topic of having a controversial surgery done and she fully listened and respected all of my reasons and decisions behind having it done. I would 100% recommend.

Austin Patient – Jul 23, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Mills?
Yes. My appointment went very quickly. I came very early but still didn’t wait long to get in. The doctor came in after I had only been in the examining room a short time and the exam was quick but thorough. She listened very well to anything I had to say and is most attentive and courteous, as is her staff. It was very easy for me to get through the whole process from start to finish.

Dr. Mills delivered my second, and last kiddo almost 12 years ago. She was an amazing doctor throughout my pregnancy, and beyond. After my kiddo was born, I experienced unexpected complications. She was compassionate, calm, and extraordinarily thorough; she made sure my kiddo and I were both healthy and well, before we left the hospital, and continued to do so for months after. 12 years later, even though we do not expect to have any more kiddos, she still takes time with me, remembers my kiddos and family, and really cares about my health. I could not recommend Dr. Mills and her team more! She and team are extraordinary!

Dr. Mills was incredible throughout my entire pregnancy. I couldn’t begin to adequately convey my appreciation for her. She was calming and reassuring and I truly felt like I was in the best hands the entire time, especially during labor and delivery. I will never be able to thank her enough!

Been trying to resolve a billing issue for ten months and counting. Tia from her office is not willing to understand me or the insurance company or their own central billing. About Tara Mills for her lack of ownership. You cannot just say I don't handle billing and be part of the system.

Sadly disappointed. Despite her gentleness and soft voice, what appeared to be a wonderful first visit has been only forced smiles, odd negative expression and unwillingness to do a thorough check which is her job- mind you. It caught me off guard as it is night and day between her first visit and the others. It seems her negative reviews stem from patients of a diverse background which might imply something i hope it is not. When I tried to change, the next door offixe made a big deal of it and asked for their permission before changing drs to another office- very odd process and not very friendly, nor patient-centered. Shame, their offices at Renaissance group have hidden gems. I had to go to someone outside the geoup to avoid the mean secretary.
