The doctor was very thorough and explained everything in quite detailed and length to my understanding. He was wonderful. I didn't know what to expect because this was the first time I was seeing him. Because my last doctor had retired last year.

Dr Millay asked for a follow up for the following week. However, he was going on vacation. The checkout receptionist said that she'd call with instructions the next day. She called a couple of weeks later. Thought that was slow.

Dr Millay provided outstanding patient care.I have complete confidence in him
February 19, 2026
Dr. Millay was friendly, thorough, and answered all my questions. The only problem was I was anxious and tired after waiting about an hour to see the doctor (after the completion of the initial tests). I am quite pleased with the ongoing care I have received from Dr. Millay. He probably needed roller skates to get through his busy day, BUT I would have appreciated being kept informed about delays.
