Again, I would like to commend Dr. Miller on his superior service. He is an excellent physician and a very compassionate Doctor. Never hesitate to go to this Doctor, as he is one of the best. His recommended surgery for my Daughter was the right call; and, we are awaiting the decision. Thank you again, Dr. Miller. It is always a pleasure to see you. Jean W. read more

I liked Dr. Miller but his office staff is really bad at handling paperwork and basic duties. I waited 6 month for the staff to submit for my knee replacement. Turns out, the workers comp manager had not received one request or report from Dr. Miller's office. I had previously made several calls to follow up with Dr. Millers staff that either were never returned or fell on deaf ears. I tried to talk to Doctor Miller to alert him if the problem but was told he does not talk to patients in the phone. Very arrogant and as a retired firefighter, I find that attitude unprofessional. read more

I took my mother who was suffering from excruciating back pain to Dr. Miller. While he did give her an injection in her back on the very first visit instead of having us come back again, his whole demeanor was rude and crude. He was openly racial and made derogating and biased remarks about Asian women, ridiculed and trivialized my poor mama's pain. He kept firing of questions without giving my mama (85yrs) a chance to reflect and respond. Any question we asked him, he responded with sarcasm. He may be experienced just because he has lived long enough on this planet practicing his trade, but this man has not evolved as a human being or as a Proffessional who is open and ready to consider new and creative solutions for pain management. His office staff are polite and answer the phone, but trying to get them or him to respond to messages, corrections to lab/scan orders he placed , takes for ever or never!!! read more

First of all I was referred to him... I sat in his office extremely nervous as I've been having shoulder issues for some time now. I could hear him in the room next door and he seemed loud and abrupt. I got more nervous just waiting there. He came into my room still loud of course but was so kind, caring and nice! He might be related to the people in my family who also are just as loud. I seriously loved him, our conversation, the way he explained everything. He's a no bs kind of dr. He's a straight shooter. HE WANTS YOUUUU BETTER! He will tell you what to do and his expectations and of course wants you to put in the work for YOUR body. I appreciated his honesty, I appreciated his knowledge and I would definitely refer him to others. read more

Found Dr. Miller, a trained physiatrist, while searching for a sports medicine physician in my insurance provider's directory. His front office and appointment staff were easy to deal with and accomodating. I waited no more than 15 minutes for my appointment. I found Dr. Miller quite sociable during the visit, but not a particularly well trained clinician. I felt the questions asked and diagnostic exams used very rudimentary, as one more apt to rely on imaging rather than empirical examination and practical experience. Those with more complicated ailments or seeking expert second/multiple opinions might be better off seeking consultation elsewhere (i.e. major academic institutions). I do appreciate his not being hurried during my visit, which is frequently the case with several medical specialists I've experienced over the years. read more

I went to Dr Miller though the referral of my regular Doctor. I found his front office staff not interested in patient assistnace as I waited at least 5 minutes with them walking around behind the front desk seeing me - yet not even acknowledging me. Then after waiting 45 minutes for my appointment I finally got put in a room to wait to see him. All I can say is that I thought patriarchal medicine went out decades ago. There weren't many questions about my condition and he wasn't even interested in seeing the CT Scan that I brought to provide. He continued to tell me what was wrong which was entirely incorrect. OMG! Hello!!! Can ya realize that there are OTHER doctors out there that have seen me and that quite possibly I went to even look for this myself to verify what the other doctors have told me? But oh wait - just because YOU said it means it's gospel? His office has called back a few times to schedule me back. I finally told the woman that called that i don't care if they throw my file away, shred it, burn it, whatever, just don't ever call me again because I will NOT be back! read more

I injured my back at work and was referred to Dr. Miller. He and his staff took great care of me. Luckily the MRI of my back did not show anything serious, and physical therapy got me back to work ASAP. Thanks Dr. Miller! read more

I should have listened to the bad reviews but I was referred to him by a Dr. I trusted and he could get me in pretty quickly. When I went to see Dr Miller I had just moved to the bay area. I was desperate. I just didn't want to be in pain anymore and I've tried everything else. He seemed confident about what it was and I believed him. He only relied on descriptions of pain and charts of muscles. I just figured he knew what he was doing. He suggested an aggressive treatment of pain killers, muscle relaxers, different numbing creams and patches, physical therapy, and trigger point injections. I was not comfortable with the injections but I looked them up and they seemed safe, IF DONE PROPERLY! The first round went great! I felt near pain free for almost the whole week and recovered fast. I was so happy. I thought I was going to be cured! A week later I went for the second round, and on the 3rd shot, in the top of my shoulder kind of near my neck, he hit something. It seems it was a nerve. It hurt really bad and felt like an electric shock. It caused me to jerk involuntarily while the needle was still in. It hurt so bad. I cried on the car ride home and took a vicodin immediately. At that time I was only taking 1 a day. The pain never went away and only got worse. For the first couple days I thought this was normal soreness. But it got worse and worse. I ended up taking more pain killers because I couldn't stand it. I iced it all the time and rested it. I did everything I could think of. By the time I saw him the next Thursday I told him I was in horrible pain in my whole shoulder and I didn't know what was wrong. I asked him to give me something stronger (the vicodin was prescribed to me by the Dr. that referred me to him. I had NEVER asked Dr. Miller for anything and he upped it to Norcos (the same as vicodin, just a stronger version). He suggested an MRI. I kept asking, Why is this hurting so bad? What happened? And he kept saying he didn't know. Ummm okay.... By that Saturday the pain was so bad I had been crying for days. I am not a whiner either. I've had surgeries before for serious things, I know when something is wrong! The pain was the worst I had ever felt and it went from the injection site all the way down past my elbow. It felt like the muscle had been ripped and my arm was stuck in a fire. The ER told me that it sounded like he hit a nerve. They gave me a shot and told me to go back to him but come back if it's worse. ***HERES THE GOOD PART**** That Tuesday I saw Dr Miller first thing in the morning. He was a complete asshole. He said "I don't understand why you're having pain." And I said "well, it started right after the injection and has only gotten worse". He said "The injection was almost two weeks ago. That's impossible. YOU must have done something." EXCUSE ME?? My boyfriend was with me and in complete shock. To make it short, he made snide remarks and absolutely refused to take responsibility. When I told him that the ER said he hit a nerve he got mad and called the hospital in front of me to see exactly what they said. He couldn't reach the records and when he hung up said "no, that's impossible. YOU must have done something. I didn't hit a nerve." THEN he said "Maybe the physical therapist did something" and called the physical therapist and asked him what he had been doing with me and if I had been complaining!! I was in so much shock!! Every time I said that the pain had only started and been getting worse since the injection he would say it's impossible and blame me! He actually said to me "What, did you get in another car accident or something?" Then he grabbed my chart and said "You put that your pain is a 10? Well, not by my scale! What level are you?" I was so shocked I said "at least a 9! I went to the hospital!" and he said No. And looked at me. i said Fine an 8. And he said "I don't think so". Finally I was like ok well maybe a 7. WTF???? I was just trying to get him to shut up so I could leave because I was already tearing up. Then he said "Hmm. It's funny that when you came to me you were taking one vicodin a day. Even though i've upped your pain medicine you claim you're in more and more pain." and glared at me. I said "YEAH! I've been in horrible pain since that injection! That's the only thing I've done!" He just said "that's impossible". I left and am never coming back. I had to go to the ER again because it's still getting worse and THEY agree with me and were shocked when I told them what he said. They referred me to a neurologist. I am in complete shock by how I've been treated and that I'm in so much pain because of his mistake. DO NOT SEE THIS DR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Surprised to see comments about superior service. Went to see my ortho after suffering with upper back/shoulder, arm and neck pain for 5 days. He said I needed to see a neck doctor and could just walk down the street to Dr. Miller. I did and entered into an empty waiting room with two young women at reception. I explained the pain I was feeling and that my doctor recommended I see Dr. Miller. They said I couldn't make an appointment until my doctor's referral was received and reviewed by Dr. Miller who would decide whether I could make an appointment. BTW was it worker's comp or did I have private insurance and was it a PPO? Indicated they would call me to make an appt if he decided to see me.....but didn't ask for my phone number. All this while I hear the doctor on the phone talking about property in Tulare. Not surprised I didn't see any patients there. Nice waiting room though. read more

I have been going to Dr Miller for a very long time, over ten years now periodically and I cannot say enough good things about him. Bright, energetic and thinks outside the box in challenging situations. I really feel that he cares about what he is doing and the welfare of his patients. For musculoskeletal issues I wouldn't go anywhere else. He can definitely give it to you straight but in a respectful way which I appreciate. I am also a health care provider so I set the bar very high for who I go to for my health care needs. Definite recommend! read more

I have been taking my husband to see Dr. Miller for about a year and a half. His office is quiet and peaceful and all of the patients I have seen in his office seem to absolutely adore him. A pain management specialist was our last hope after my husband's broken neck and fused discs. He listens fully to my husbands complaints and takes into consideration that he HATES taking medications and tries to stay on as little as possible. He acknowledges that the body follows no textbook so the problems need to be communicated from the patient. We have tried physical therapy, which didn't seem to improve his pain, with all the nerve damage and fused discs, I didn't really expect it to. However, Dr. Miller has kept my husband as comfortable as possible, more so than he has been in 15 years. The improvement in my husbands abilities and daily life have amazed me and I don't believe that we would be where we are today without Dr. Miller. read more

I have suffered with progressive chronic lower-back pain for years and have seen many doctors to find some measure of relief; well, enough relief to be somewhat functional on a daily basis. Dr. Miller is the one who helped to provide that solution above all others! I now have a level of functionally that has substantially restored my "quality of life". He helped me to postpone/avoid last resort remedy of surgery. Dr. Miller is also very direct, communicative, and efficient in the performance of his treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Miller to anyone seeking relief from any form of consistent pain. I also encourage all patients to always be proactive in any of their treatment with any of their doctors! Dr, Miller is now located at: 4535 Mattos Drive; Fremont, CA 94536 (510) 795-7746 read more

I was previously employed with him worst experience ever . His office is nice but him over all is someone who no one can work with unless you allow him to walk all over you. He treats you bad as well as if you have a child he can care less he's very rude . As well as to patients . I don't think anyone should consider going to him read more

To those who have met and haven't met Dr. Miller I have been going to him for 10 years. He literally saved my life I could have been totally paralyzed if it wasn't for him. He knows his job. He is tough and can be cocky with a smile but I can tell u since I was 9 yrs I had an injury involving what they said sciatic and about every two years needed I shot in my hip after years of soma usuage he gave me a shot in another place about 8 yrs ago and never had a problem since then by the grace of God. He diagnosed my spine, my lower back, my shoulder, and my feet. He ran a variety of tests, in office therapy, and has moved to mattos in Fremont and the office and staff are so great with me. I call him and have heard other drs refer to him as 'the pain doctor'. He knows his job . I refer him to everyone that I meet no matter where I am. I am very active and in denial of my abilities but he refers me to drs that just put me back together. He loves his job, he cares about his patients.He does not walk on water. I drive 70 miles to see him. Thxs Dr miller. read more

Just an update on this review. After I have yelled at their office for the report, they finally sent the report, 2 months after, and guess what date he put on his report? He dated the report same day as the date he saw me!!! THAT IS ENTIRELY DISHONEST!!!! He sent out the report 2 months after, and yet dated it on the date of the examination. He does not even deserve a star! read more

To all your haters out there, I've been seeing Dr.Miller for over four years now, after I got rear ended by a young texting Asian driver who didn't look up and bam. He got me the proper meds and physical therapy and I feel much better, without his treatment plan and his kindness I'd be in worse shape,he's a very good man and I highly recommend him. I work at Safeway on Argonaut come and speak to me in person I'll tell you. read more

I was referred to come see this doctor through work comp. After being in pain for 3 years after a work injury. He was the most inappropriate Doctor I have ever seen, constantly making very inappropriate jokes, discussing how he divorced his wife and how crazy she is. not professional at all. After an hour long exam, he looked me in the eye grabbed my hand and said you definitely need to have surgery, and you have my word that I'm going to appeal work comp and advise them surgery has to happen. After waiting for almost 3 months for him to write my report ( supposedly should have been done within 30 days by law) he goes onto say surgery isn't warranted, after spending 6 hours review my records. Well that was a lie, because when I called to speak with the girl at the front desk regarding my records, she advised they only had a small amount and she was waiting for more, although he wrote the report anyway. Do not see this doctor ever! He will not do you any favors, especially when it's a work comp injury. Worst doctor I've ever seen. He should not be allowed to practice medicine! read more
