What people have to say about this practice
Dr Miller is an excellent Doctor. He helped my husband with 2 hernias. After 50 years of age, we had to have colonoscopies. We kept postponing our appointments for two years. After the hernia operations, and Dr Miller's explanation to do the tests, we trust him. We recommend him highly. The staff is excellent, friendly, and efficient. We are very glad to have Dr Miller and his staff to help us to keep us healthy. We trust them highly with our health and highly recommend him and his staff.
Mary E. Beatson
Dr. Miller is one of the finest surgeons my husband and I have dealt with since our move from California to Hurricane, Utah 10 years ago. He performed a colonoscopy on me and alleviated the fears that come with such a procedure. I would refer him to anyone who needs a procedure to be done or general surgery.
- Candace L. Charlet
I had Dr. Miller do a gastric sleeve surgery and later a hernia surgery (not related). I thought he was very thorough, professional and kind. I love his office staff and can always reach them with questions. They are very good at returning calls and getting my questions answered. I would recommend him to my friends (and I have).
