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.

Very knowledgeable and professional
Dr. Miars recently administered an injection to help with pain and inflammation in a joint. He was friendly and professional which helped a great deal with any anxiety I had about the treatment. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Informative/Good at injections
Answered all questions. Also, asked a lot of questions to get the most information to make a diagnosis. He is very good at injections. I wouldn’t be nervous to have it done again if necessary.

Wonderful Doctor
I have been to Dr. Miars numerous times for various sports related injuries for fifteen or so years. He always listens carefully to my symptoms, evaluates, and then explains all the options. He explains things in a way that I can understand and answers any questions I might have. I’ve always had excellent results. He’s definitely one of my favorite doctors.

Fantastic experience with joint pain treatment!
Doctor Miars was thorough in explaining procedure before performing injection in shoulder joint. Procedure was quick and exactly as explained. Informed me what to expect in next 2 weeks as well as future options. Doctor and his assistant were courteous and professional, and at the same time very empathetic and supportive.
