Philosophy of Medicine

"In short, the patient comes first. I do my very best to address the needs of the patient and their family. This requires a multidisciplinary team that I am just one part of. This includes but is not limited to the patient and their family, primary care, subspecialists depending on the patients' needs, and allied health including therapies and nursing. Treating the whole patient results in the best outcomes."

    We felt Dr. Miles did an excellent job of listening to us. He made us feel like we were his only concern. He was very thorough and took his time to listen, and we could tell he cared. We are so pleased to be receiving care from Dr. Miles.

    Dr. Miles was excellent! He came in the room almost immediately and explained things very clearly so we could understand them. We have high hopes for the future and look forward to our follow up.
