UofU Patient July 11, 2016I would at all times
UofU Patient July 06, 2016Dr. Miller treats the "whole patient" not just the arthritis. This means she takes time to find out about me so she can better understand why I feel the way I do. She is very personable and take time to listen. She is very thorough. I don't think she should ever be allowed to leave!

UofU Patient January 07, 2016always good
UofU Patient December 08, 2015Previously Dr Miller has been a very involved dr. Of late however I feel her schedule keeps her overcommitted and unable to attend adequately to her patients. I feel this is the fault of administration who put profits over patients.
UofU Patient November 24, 2015she's been very helpful helping me understand my problems .
UofU Patient November 23, 2015I don't see Dr. Miller very often but when I do, she definitely makes it worth my time. She is very careful and thorough and always takes the time to fully answer all the questions i might have. I never feel like she is rushing to get to the next patient, which is a gift in itself. She is a wonderful provider and I am gifted to be one of her patients. Thank you.
UofU Patient November 03, 2015The reason for the fair on recommending to others has to do with the limited available time of appointments.
UofU Patient October 18, 2015Always excellent.
UofU Patient October 11, 2015Dr. Miller is wonderful! I appreciate that she never makes me feel like she doesn't have time for me. I appreciate that she lets me make the major decisions about my healthcare. She is positive, supportive, personable and kind.

UofU Patient September 19, 2015Dr Miller is amazing
UofU Patient September 15, 2015I appreciate Dr. Miller, she is a wonderful Dr. I'm frustrated with how hard it is to get an appt. with her, they told me she is booked out 6 months and so it's hard to get a follow up appt.
UofU Patient September 09, 2015I love coming in to see Dr. Millet. very good doctor
UofU Patient August 26, 2015Dr. Miller is very very good. The Universiy hospital is lucky to have her.

UofU Patient August 10, 2015Dr. Miller cleared up some misconceptions that I had about certain foods and liquids pertaining to my gout treatment and possible flare-up concerns. She is GREAT!

UofU Patient June 23, 2015Always impressed by my doctors concern and friendliness

UofU Patient April 28, 2015Dr. Miller apologized for my having been listed as a return patient instead of a new patient, thus allowing for a longer visit. Yet I felt like I was given the entire new patient time and had all the time I needed to have my questions addressed.
UofU Patient April 20, 2015Care provider listened carefully and gave clear, concise responses.
UofU Patient April 13, 2015good
UofU Patient April 11, 2015My experiences with Dr. Miller and her staff have exceeded my expectations. I travel @85 miles for my appointments, this particular visit there were construction issues and I was @20 minutes late. When I called to tell them I would be late, the gentlemen was very courteous and worked to get me in, even though I exceed the 10 minute appointment cancellation window. When I arrived they took me in immediately, Dr. Miller came right in. Because I was late, I expected a shortened and rushed appointment. Dr. Miller took all the time needed, was very thorough and personable. Because of my health issues I have been to numerous doctors. I have been so impressed with the time that Dr. Miller takes to explain my condition and all procedures. She graciously answers all my questions and never acts rushed. I truly feel that I'm a person, not a number or 10 minute "face". I so appreciate Dr. Miller and all her staff, their caring, kindness and professionalism are amazing. Thank you for everything you have done.
UofU Patient March 29, 2015love dr miller!

UofU Patient February 21, 2015Dr. Karla Miller took extra time to assess how I was doing, and identified a non-rheumatologic issue with my leg swelling - - a new symptom. She asked several questions, made recommendations, and asked that I follow up with my primary provider if the problem did not abate. She show extraordinary concern, and I greatly appreciate her willingness to spend time to discuss it with me.
UofU Patient February 03, 2015I'm amazed that a doctor actually spent time and expressed interest in working with me.
UofU Patient February 03, 2015I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO BE ATTENDED BY A BILINGUAL DOCTOR, BECAUSE IT WAS EASY FOR ME TO FULLY DISCUSS MY CONCERNS.

UofU Patient November 11, 2014I always have an excellent experience.
UofU Patient October 27, 2014Dr. Karla Miller is an exemplary professional. She clearly cares about each of her patients. We talked about the efforts she has gone through to ensure that the new Beacon treatment plans were set up correctly after Epic go-live. As a fellow health care professional at the U, I can appreciate her taking on extra work to ensure her patients are safe and receive correct treatment.
UofU Patient October 01, 2014I was given quite a bit of information and both doctors were extremely caring and explained things to me very well. I was nervous....

UofU Patient July 06, 2014The 2 doctors that I saw, seemed very competent!
UofU Patient July 04, 2014I saw Dr. Khine Win first and then Dr. Miller. Very nice people. Showed concern and answered all of my questions. My experience there was very pleasant. I had concerns because I had not been to the U of U before. I would recommend Dr. Miller to anyone.

UofU Patient June 22, 2014Dr. Miller is an incredibly competent, caring physician. i could not be in better hands!
UofU Patient June 18, 2014My interactions with Dr Miller are always positive. She's an excellent doctor and so much better than the ones I had before. Due to her care, I'm in much better shape & in far less pain than before.
UofU Patient June 12, 2014I love the u of u
UofU Patient June 10, 2014Excellent experience.
UofU Patient May 28, 2014I really appreciate the time spent going over everything and explaining sjogren's syndrome. Although Dr. Miller hasn't treated my Fibromyalgia, she spent time explaining things. I've been to several doctors & specialists over the past several years, and Dr. Miller and her staff spent more time with me and answered more questions than any others, with the exception of Dr. Kolb. My husband has noticed this also. We are very pleased with the time and attention I have received.
UofU Patient May 19, 2014Dr. Karla Miller is exceptional in every way and I am very glad that she has accepted me as a patient. She is always so careful to be sure that all of my questions are answered and that I understand everything. I only see her about once a year but she is one of my very favorites.
UofU Patient May 09, 2014While I understand that my issue may fall outside of this specialty, I was sent here by another doctor at this university who couldn't figure it out. I don't feel any further along, and now have nowhere else to go and am not getting any better. I'm extremely frustrated and exhausted by this effort, and do not feel that any doctor has come close to being able to decipher the mystery. I was hoping that at least the university setting would arouse some curiosity and if this department was stymied, perhaps offer some suggestions on another course of action. Instead, I keep getting shut down by departments who assure me that it's not something they can treat.
UofU Patient April 28, 2014Dr. Miller is a great physician. She is very friendly and very thorough with her examination. She went over my previous history and explained everything in terms I could understand.
UofU Patient April 12, 2014Dr. Miller is always concerned, thoughtful, and thorough. I had a number of issues she helped me work through even though I know it took a bit more time than usual. She's also very prompt in commenting on any test results or answering any questions on MyChart. I really appreciate her help and concern.
UofU Patient March 14, 2014very good
UofU Patient February 13, 2014I recommend Dr. Miller to all that I know.
UofU Patient January 31, 2014Even though I could find a closer caregiver, I would rather drive longer to have the treatment I receive at Dr. Karla Miller's office at the U of U med center
UofU Patient January 26, 2014Dr. Miller called me back 2 days after my appointment to give me the results of my tests and talk me through what she thought was the best plan of action. Great Doctor and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thanks!
UofU Patient January 26, 2014Can't say enough good things about Dr. Miller. She is great.
UofU Patient December 30, 2013Excellent
UofU Patient December 30, 2013Dr. Gafour (spelling?) (fellow) and Dr. Miller (attending) were both outstanding physicians who showed a lot of concern for my problem and great compassion.

UofU Patient August 05, 2013I recommend Dr C. Miller to any of my friends or loved ones that need attention for my same condition.
UofU Patient July 21, 2013Unfortunately, i have arthritis that keeps progressing. It may well be that there is nothing to be done about that, but we have tried a pretty short list of options and i feel like Karla has accepted there is nothing more to be done. I don't like that. i feel like i have to fight to get her to make any suggestions that do not just involve trying a different drug. Is this what RA is about?
UofU Patient June 26, 2013We tell anyone in the Basin, (Roosevelt UT) That they need to go to specialists at the University.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013I like visiting with Dr Miller.
UofU Patient June 09, 2013I admire Dr. Miller's ability to understand and resolve my issues. I have great confidence in her and her ability to treat me.
UofU Patient May 14, 2013All was well.
UofU Patient May 13, 2013I have always been treated with respect, dignity, & pure professionalism! Friendly & kind, thoughtful, explains well - I would not be Dr. Miller's patient if I had no trust in her or thought she was inadequate to be my doctor!
UofU Patient May 07, 2013I love Dr. Miller. She is a wonderful doctor, very kind and compassionate:)
UofU Patient April 23, 2013I have been coming for a while know and I like how I have been treated so far. I think my dr's and nurses are the best.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013good- was nice and open in talking
UofU Patient April 15, 2013I would absolutely recomment the Clinic and Dr. Miller to anyone. I have seen a couple of Rheumatologists. Hands down, she was the most knowledgable and helpful.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013Very personalized and patient centered care.
UofU Patient April 02, 2013I wish the Dr. would listen to me when I tell her I can't do something, she tells me that I can, when I know my limitations with my body and what I can and cannot do. I don't know Dr. Miller well enough to say wether I have confidence in her or not.
UofU Patient April 01, 2013A+

UofU Patient January 14, 2013What a welcomed experience - she was great in every way!
UofU Patient January 08, 2013I would recommend Dr. K. Miller to anyone in a heart beat. She has a way of doing all the above and she puts you to ease right from the beginning.
UofU Patient December 31, 2012The fellow spent more time than necessary and did not listen carefully to my two primary concerns in the sense of summarizing my concern and his recommendation. His approach was systematic but not focused by patient need. The attending also did not seem to address my two primary concerns but confirmed what she had been told by the fellow. I have worked my lifetime in academic centers and I would give this experience a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 for listening and focusing on the patients concerns. Two hours for this evaluation was unnecessary but sadly typical of first time visits to academic centers of excellence.
UofU Patient December 27, 2012very impressed and happy with my experience there!
UofU Patient December 26, 2012Dr miller always takes a personal interest and concern in how I'm doing she makes me feel very special
UofU Patient December 10, 2012They have always been kind. They make you feel like they have all the time you need to discuss whatever your needs are. It is appreciated. Need someone to talk to that really listens.
UofU Patient November 07, 2012I get a little cloudy on followup care mainly because there are a handful of things that are discussed and then I cannot remember them all, but I have been able to ask the questions through the online system that is in place
UofU Patient November 06, 2012I could not ask for a better Doctor than Dr Miller. She makes you feel well cared for and that she cares. She also is very knowledgeable and it makes you feel secure under her care.
UofU Patient November 05, 2012It was refreshing to have a Doctor (and Intern) actually care about my health and seriously consider my health and subsequent care. I felt like a real person who would be cared for. This is a big change from my previous Rheumatologist in Idaho.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Dr Miller is the best. Always clear and professional. Got back to me immediately re. xrays
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Dr Miller was informative, kind hearted , efficient with compassion. I always speak very highly of Dr. Miller and the staff at the Rheumatology Department. I have and will continue to recommend Dr Miller to anyone who will listen. It is imperative to have Dr's that you trust with your health care needs 100 %. Dr. Miller gives me hope.
UofU Patient October 03, 2012Dr Miller is amazing. She is a wonderful listener and is very efficient. She is thorough, kind, empathetic yet professional. I came away from the visit with a terrific sense of hope. My faith was returned in my future.

UofU Patient July 16, 2012Appreciated how much time the doctor spent explaining what my condition might be. She said she was going to get back to me as soon as possible after she had the test results she ordered for me to do right after my appointment. She did not rush me and ans
UofU Patient July 09, 2012Dr. Miller is genuine and I feel her concern for me as a patient and a person.
UofU Patient June 26, 2012I have regularly recommended Dr. Miller to others I know.
