Throughout my journey before, during, and after surgery I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Miller. He thoroughly and carefully explained my options for the procedure. Not only did he save my life, but the outcome as far as level of pain has been minimal and all of my vitals have been great. My recovery to this point has been quite easy. Mich easier than I had imagined because of Dr Miller, his staff and also the hospital staff. I give Dr Miller my highest recommendation and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

My discussion with Dr. Miller was brief, even though I asked for him to repeat what he had told me. The news was a bit unexpected and took time to absorb. He did repeat what he told me. There was no discussion about what to expect in recovery other that the optimal hospital stay is 4 days.

Dr. Miller is very well trained as we did our research. He explained he does open heart surgery vs the less invasive operation. No questions were asked. One thing noticed he never made eye contact nor spoke to my wife who was sitting next to me. Appreciate he is all business and am sure an expert in his field which we would need, but including a spouse in the conversation would be beneficial.
