Ryan is exceptional.He actually listened to me and my concerns, fully explained what was happening, gave me options as well as his recommendations and has a fantastic sense of humor. I've been out through the ringer with mediocre provider experiences in the past and it is a great feeling to be sure I'm in the right place for my care.

Dr. Milks is a fantastic doctor. Broke it down into completely understandable. Rare, I did not feel like another car coming in for service. He talked "with" me. He addressed my concerns. He was straightforward and honest ....., yet I could tell he has a big heart and loves people. UH is not my primary medical facility, but I received excellent emergency treatment and follow-up.

Ryan Milks was great. He was concerned with my issues, he listened to everything that was hurting, he informed me what my options were. He was excellent. 5 stars. *** Ryan Milks did apologize for running late and I can respect that, some appointments are a little bit longer than others at least he was kind and took the time out to listen to my concerns.***

I am a new patient with this provider. We had a positive and productive discussion of my symptoms and I went for further x-rays. Results came back quickly, received call from surgeon's office the next day with new appointment time and received email from provider with results of x-rays in simple understandable language

Dr Milks was fantastic. He leaned in and listened and made you feel like he's not gonna give up seeking the help you need. Most of the Drs I've seen the past year just seem like they are checking the boxes and leaving you on your own if they can't help. So you better try and keep Dr Milks for as long as you can
