Patient Reviews
Mar 24, 2023
when I was first diagnosed with kidney disease, it was Dr. Miller who diagnosed me properly. Dr. Miller also was the first doctor I had seen who told me that taking iron tabs every day for iron-deficiency anemia was not enough so she sent me for my first iron infusion. Dr. Miller was the first doctor to insist that I use my c-pap as a way to lower my bp. Dr. Miller was the one who sent me for sciatica shots to attend to the pain in my back. Although, Dr. Miller is a nephrologist, she was concerned about all of my health issues. She always had time for me! I now see a hematologist who continues iron infusions whenever necessary. I now have had sleep studies which left me with continued use of a cpap machine. Thank you, Dr. Lucy Miller for being the best of the best! Your concern and care for your patients amazes me.
