Dr Miller is a Phenomenal Doctor and Human being, with a wonderful bedside manner, who truly goes the extra step to know his patients, their medical history, and their physical activity interests, to promote his patients' staying physically active, to benefit their health, and decrease their daily pain levels. I have had multiple spine & other injuries due to accidents, along with Fibromyalgia caused by a past fall down a flight of stairs, and I am so grateful to have such a caring pain mgmt Dr., who is highly intelligent, very knowledgeable, and great at his profession, and has a friendly, outgoing personality as well. I have the utmost respect for Dr Miller, and It's always a joy to see him.

He truly listens to you he cares. Dr. Smith is truly compassionate and has empathy for all his patience which speaks volume’s in my opinion. He considers everything that is going on with your body whether or not it has to do with pain management or not. He considers every issue that is going on with your entire body so that he can understand and evaluate everything related with your pain issues in order for him to treat you to the best of his ability. I can’t recommend Dr. Nathan Smith enough. You need not look any further.
