Dr Miller needs to retire. He barely looked at my record while I was in the office. Asked me why I was there. "MRI results" he said under his breath. He told me exactly what I read on the portal. I have a torn meniscus and ruptured Baker's Cyst. He said the kind of tear I have cannot be repaired w/surgery. He said they don't do anything with Bakers cysts. He could prescribe me something for inflammation. He didn't tell me why he couldn't do surgery on this kind of tear. He said come back in 4-6 weeks if needed. He prescribed a medication I already have. He didn't even tell me what he was prescribing.
Long story short, I was in pain from July 3rd to August 7th. My left knee has been swollen for a month with a lot of pain. That's a long time to deal with pain. Before I left I asked what should I do, "just keep doing what I'm doing". He replied "yes". He didn't ask what that was. Last I was told by Jackson the PA was go ahead and put weight on it. Dr. Miller basically left me to deal with the pain for another month or more. I went to another Dr the next day and he drained my knee, pulled a lot of fluid off and gave me a cortisone shot. The pain left almost immediately.
I would love to get a refund on my co-pay, as what David Miller did could have been done over the phone. I can provide a more in depth history of my care from OrthoVA regarding my knees if needed. Miller really needs to go back to his roots, lose the arrogance, and treat everyone with respect and as a unique person, not a number. I'll never recommend him to anyone. I will make it a point to tell all not to see him. I would have preferred Dr. Nedeff but due to severe pain went with the first available appointment. BIG MISTAKE! read more
