He kept looking at my eye at my insistence and found a fiber under the epithelium and picked it out -- without me having a panic attack. God bless him because I can see again

They took me 20 minutes late and then the whole appointment took more than an hour, for just a quick annual check up!

Verified patient
Dr. Miller is knowledgeable and courteous. He takes the time to listen and explain his diagnosis and treatment. I would highly recommend him!
Verified patient
Of all the ophthalmologists I've seen in my lifetime Dr. Miller was the best one I've seen thus far. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to talk to. Wait time was not longer than five minutes. Being a new patient and for the interest of time, I did arrive ten minutes early with the expectation that I would need to fill out the normal paperwork.
Verified patient
Dr Miller is one of the best doctors I have seen. I found him last year and I was so pleased with his bed manners, professionalism and how he takes his time to go over everything, that hd is my eye doctor to go to. Very few doctors today take the time to truly care for their patients. Dr Miller does just that.
Verified patient
The wait was a little bit long, but t was worth it. Dr. Miller is vey professional and nice. He cares about his patients and makes sure the patient is treated well. Very old school, which is wonderful, not like new doctors- who care how to get rid of you and charge you as much as they can for most of the times- unnecessary things.
Verified patient
Not joke, best Doc I've ever seen. Best ophthalmologist I've seen. The Lebron of ophthalmologists. All above and below reviews are true
Verified patient
This was my first visit for an eye exam and I have been considering Lasik. There was a 45 minute wait in the office before seeing Dr. Miller; however, this is a trade-off and completely worth it in my opinion. He was very thorough, kind, insightful, and informative. I never felt rushed, quite the opposite - he took the time to ask and answer questions. I will definitely see him again and would highly recommend him to those looking for a new ophthalmologist.
Verified patient
From the moment I walked in fromy first contact with reception until the completion of my exam was just a beautiful professional experience. Dr.Miller was very informative and complete .I left the office feeling very satisfied
Verified patient
I wasn't aware I would be doing eye dilation (I've had glasses for years and never had to before), and didn't realize how long it would take. I came during work lunch so that wasn't great. But he was very nice, and knowledgeable.
Verified patient
Great experience as always.
Verified patient
Nothing but the best doctor I have ever met and I have seen several types of doctor, but Dr. Miller was phenomenal. He took his time and was very pleasant to talk to. Explained everything and conducted a very detail examination, without rushing at all. Something that other doctors do these days or simply send a nurse practitioner to do, limiting the time with the doctor. But with doctor Miller it was like old fashion medicine, when the patient is seen and cared, questions were answered, and it builds a great sense of trust. If you want to get the best doctor for your eyes, Doctor Miller is it.
Verified patient
I've been looking for a new ophthalmologist ever since my last one retired and now I've found Dr. Miller. He's terrific! Everyone in the office was pleasant and professional. Highly recommended!
Dr. Miller was a fountain of information, and explained everything to me in a detailed and respectful, non-condescending way. I would highly recommend Dr. Miller to anyone looking for a good eye doctor.
Verified patient
The doctor is very professional and very knowledgeable. I have very complicated eye issues (near sighted, strabismus, dry eyes, presbyopia... just to name a few). The doctor took his time to listen to me and talk to me and tackled my eye issues one by one. I felt better after I walked out of his office today and feeling my concerns have been addressed.
Verified patient
Very nice and professional.
Verified patient
Excellent Doctor!
Verified patient
Was told they accepted my insurance, and then called two weeks later to say I still owe a bill. Receptionist was extremely rude. Had to call the manager. Doctor was fine, but I found the office unethical. Would not recommend.
Dr. Miller was great. He was very engaging and personal and was also very patient with answering questions. He did a great job of explaining things as we went through the appt. I highly recommend him. All of his office and support staff was very friendly as well, which is not always typical at doctor offices.
Verified patient
I was very happy with the visit. Though Zocdoc had confirmed my appointment when they should not have, the office staff managed to keep my appointment as scheduled. Dr Miller was great, patient, informative.
When I arrived, the front desk person told me they had no knowledge of my appointment (some error they've been having with ZocDoc). She told me there might be a wait but the doctor would still see me. In less than 10 minutes I was called in. Dr. Miller spent SO much more time with me than I expected. He knew I had an eye doctor I'd been seeing for 10+ years and just wanted a second opinion (and would more than likely go back to my original doctor) but this didn't deter him from not only doing an incredibly thorough exam, but spending the time listening to my questions, explaining everything in detail, and even renewing my confidence in my current eye doctor. I am very impressed and nearly made a switch to make him my regular ophthalmologist.
Dr. Miller was very friendly and competent. He was thorough and he willingly answered all of my questions. I would definitely see Dr. Miller again.
Dr. Miller is highly professional, compassionate and competent. He explained what he was doing and was happy to answer my questions. I will refer my friends to him.
Dr. Miller is great.
Verified patient
Excellent doc; the wait was a touch long, but worth it. He literally noticed something different about my eyes that no one had ever before.
