Dr. Mills has been exceptional since the day I met him seven years ago. He is the surgeon that saved my life when I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. He repaired it and then repeated the surgery 6 months later to repair another aneurysm. If it weren't for this man, I wouldn't be here today. Deepest respect for him, his bedside manner AND his fantastic team!

On Jan 7 2019 Dr Mills performed L3/4 lumbar laminectomy. For 2 years I experienced major nerve pain across my buttocks and both legs. At times the pain was unbearable. When I awoke, the pain was gone. Simply gone. Thank you Dr. Mills. You got both mad skills and a quite bedside demeanor all doctors should emulate. You the MAN!

I had seen many spine surgeons over the course of the 20 years since I was injured with a traumatic spine injury all the other spine surgeons said I needed surgery many were scared to attempt it, this james mills said I was fine. months later at another hospital I finaly had a major spine fusion surgery and i need another because of the duration of my injury there is related damage to the next vertabrae. Why did this character tell me i didnt need a fusion and was stable when everyone else said i was severe end stage unstable bone on bone nerve impingement and damage.

Husband had back surgery last February. We were not only impressed with Dr. Mills but very happy with his bed side manner, how he had time to talk to us and if you called him, he quickly returned my call on a Saturday evening when we were experiencing some issues. He is wonderful.
