Dr. Philip Attilie Miller, MD

I was referred to Dr. Phillip A. Miller for OMT for chronic sinus issues, widespread bone and joint pain, and possible fibromyalgia. I did not find Dr. Miller's communication style effective due to his talking so fast that I frequently had to ask him to repeat what he was saying. It sounded like gibberish at times. Instead of gentle manipulation, Dr. Miller's treatments were harsh and jerky, similar to chiropractic manipulations. He did not always indicate what he was doing or prepare me for these sudden, violent jerks. I clearly expressed pain during treatment and was told to "hold on" and that he knew how it felt because he'd had the same manipulations done himself. At no time did he pause, ask if I needed a break, or inquire about the applied pressure as most practitioners routinely do. In fact, he induced an extremely painful headache by pressing down relentlessly hard on my face as I clearly expressed pain and struggled under the weight of his hands. He was not responsive to… me during or after the treatment regarding my discomfort and pain. Immediately after the session, he asked me to walk around in the exam room and see if I felt better. I told him I did not feel any improvement in my pain. I left with new areas of pain in my neck and lower back. When I checked his report from my appointment, I noted that he said I tolerated the treatment well and indicated improvement. I was understandably upset to see a complete fabrication of the events during my visit. I reached out to my primary care physician (who was not in the office that day) via the patient portal system to let her know what happened, and was contacted by Dr. Miller's practice manager. Despite being "encouraged" by both his practice manager and director, Dr. Miller never appropriately addressed my concerns. He did post two unsatisfactory attempts at an addendum that still fell short of the truth. In my opinion, Dr. Miller's bedside manner, communication, and treatment approach failed miserably in accuracy, transparency, and compassionate care.

Insane Quack. Seriously unqualified

Dr. Miller was very knowledgeable, effective and helpful, and very attentive to my detailed concerns.

Never listens to patients & just increase there medications w/o testing to see what the effects could be. Makes patients go to his office every week 6 weeks w/high bp. That wouldn't help it any. Never considers other medical issue when you tell them that you have them. You tell him you can ear curtin food & he pushes you to eat them anyways. He needs to learn that the patient knows there bodies better then the he does.
