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. Miller is just WONDERFUL!!
When I went to see Dr. Miller, I had several questions and concerns. He laid every one of them to rest. He took the time to show me the scan images, explaining as we went through them. He then took the time to go into family history and the role genetics play. I no longer have any concerns or questions!! My appointment was not rushed in any way. Dr. Miller is now my follow up doctor for my condition going forward!! I HIGHLY recommend him, to ANYONE, needing a doctor in his field. Thank you, again, Dr. Miller !!!

Dr Miller is our family hero! On this day in 2002 he performed open heart surgery on my son, Chris Hallgrimson. Happy to say Chris is still going strong today! Dr Miller also did lung surgery on me. I’m also doing very well. We think of you often and God bless you, Dr. Miller!

He saved my life on July 13, 2018 by doing an Aortic valve replacement. I can't say enough about Dr Miller. He also did quadruple bypass on my husband in 2003.
