Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing surgeon & easy recovery!
I went to the emergency room with horrible cramping pain under my ribs. I honestly thought I was dying. They determined that it was gallstones. A few days later I met with Dr. Miller. The staff were super helpful! He was very good about explaining my gallbladder removal surgery. And within a couple weeks the surgery was performed without any complications. The recovery was much easier than I thought it would be! I would highly recommend Dr. Miller!

Gallbladder Surgery
Dr. Seth Miller and staff at initial consultation were very professional, polite, and went over the procedure from beginning to end in lengthy detail with my husband and me. The day of surgery at Corewell hospital I was treated with the most amazing Dr's and Nurses and staff, starting at entering the hospital with the receptionist.. Everyone I encountered, was very warm and made the stay very pleasant and made me feel at ease and in good hands .. My husband was very appreciative also of the care we both received, keeping him informed of my step by step during and after surgery. We both highly recommend Dr. Seth Miller, the nurses and entire staff at Corewell Hospital in Nikes, Michigan.

I recently had my gallbladder removed. Dr. Miller and his team were extremely kind and made me feel comfortable. I was very anxious about surgery since it was my first time, but the staff was very reassuring and helpful, they answered any questions I had. Brittney S., my nurse in recovery was fabulous, she took very good care of me and was very kind. Definitely the type of nurse everyone needs when in recovery. Just all around great staff and they made my first surgery experience run smoothly.

Dr. Miller is .
The care I received was exceptional. Appointments were always on time and not rushed he is very thorough and explains every step. I was a high-risk, patient and he made sure I was aware of each and all of the risk. Dr Miller and his staff are professional and friendly and compassionate. They were encouraging and not judgmental. The whole staff is very knowledgeable and in my opinion went above and beyond. Letting me know not to hesitate call with any questions. When I called they were either available or call back very promptly. The weight loss program is absolutely amazing. I have had such an amazing life changing experience. I have learned so much and was never judged, just encouraged. Looking forward to getting to my goal and living a healthy life. If you are looking to get help losing weight. I promise you Dr Miller and his team are the best. Thanks to each of you for all the support and encouragement.

Dr Miller provides excellent care.
Dr Miller thoroughly explains the patients condition, what the intended procedure consists of, and answers questions or concerns to alleviate patient anxiety. Post operative visits are timely and his caring attitude comes through at every meeting.

Went to the ER with stomach pain and had a CT, found appendicitis. I met Dr Miller the next morning after being admitted. I've spent a lot of time talking to doctors because of chronic family members. His bedside manner is excellent and he's very straightforward and super willing to answer any questions, even ones that hardly relate to your procedure. If Dr Miller handles a procedure I or my immediate family members need in the future he'll definitely be our first choice.

Do not go to this Dr if you have certain symptoms and need to find out what is wrong. Dr Miller did an endoscopy and said my mom had a non-bacterial infection in the lining of her stomach and gave her medicine that made her throw up almost daily-strike 1. A few weeks later we drove my mom to the Lakeland hospital ER. They did a CT scan and found a suspicious mass. Dr Miller was on call that weekend so he did a 2nd endoscopy, but this time went past her stomach. After waiting 5 days for the biopsy result Dr Miller and the pathologist were still unable to confirm if the mass was cancer-strike 2. I was not going to let Dr Miller get a 3rd strike with my mom. We asked for a referral to the Mishawaka area. In summary, all Dr Miller did was put a band-aide on my mom and then tried to wash his hands of her. I would like to take this opportunity to enlighten Dr Miller, his team and the pathologist. All of you should research duodenum cancer. You might learn something and possibly save a life.

Colon surgery
I’m 69 yrs old and have not to many surgeries in my lifetime but having Dr. Miller was certainly one of the best medical experiences I’ve had from the first consultation to the final post opp visit. On top of a very successful complicated surgery he has a great bedside manner, would certainly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent
Dr Miller was wonderful from the moment I walked in the door… explained everything to me the whole procedure, and was very reassuring and comforting , as I have never had surgery before, and I am 70 years old and was having robotic hernia surgery! So I was a little bit worried and concerned, but they made me feel so much better about it and my recovery. It’s been great ! His whole staff as wonderful as well.

Dr Miller assessed my unusual situation as my condition was deteriorating rather quickly. He decided to perform immediate exploratory abdominal surgery. Dr Miller found the problem and corrected the situation. His prompt correct decision saved my life.

Talented doctor
I met Dr. Miller when I was admitted for emergency surgery due to a gallbladder that was in danger of erupting. I'd had no idea I had any issue at all with my gallbladder, so it was extremely jarring for me, and Dr. Miller's talented, listening skills, and bedside manner made it all better. I don't know if he usually works Saturdays, but perhaps due to the emergency nature of my issue, he performed mine on a Saturday morning. He listened carefully to my concerns and put me at ease. And the aftercare with him was easy. Would highly recommend.
