Dr. Russell K Miller

I was referred to Mr Miller for a medical report on a back injury and residual nerve damage in my foot incurred many years ago.nAlarm bells initially started ringing when I was referred to a “hip and shoulder surgeon” for back injury and nerve damage but ... I followed instructions.nThen, due to COVID restrictions, the appointment was changed to a Telehealth call, which raised further concerns.n(How do you view, assess and test somebody’s back and nerve damage over the phone with any reliability and detail?)nnUnfortunately, the consultation was an absolute debacle.nI spent more time standing idly by while Mr Miller and his assistant clarified and discussed notes (that his assistant had prepared prior to the appointment) than actually viewing my foot.nThere was very little discussion regarding my foot, limited viewing (using the camera on my phone), obviously no touching, assessing or testing and the whole process was over virtually before it began.n(Mr Miller asked me to hand the phone to someone else so he could see me walk- when I replied “I’m on my own; I deliberately chose somewhere quiet and private so we wouldn’t be disturbed”, the consultation was wound up very quickly.)nnSo imagine my surprise when the report was emailed to me indicating a full and detailed assessment had been done, including results of functional tests that were never done, or even discussed.nnThis fabrication of results (for tests that were never done) not only made the report absolutely useless but raised very serious concerns regarding trust and integrity.n(Quite why a medical professional would risk his credibility and reputation by fabricating test results still baffles me).nnI have written to Mr Miller to air my concerns and ask him to reduce his (exorbitant) fee to a price that more reasonably reflects the poor quality of the consultation but six months later I still haven’t had the courtesy of a reply.nnBased on my experience with this practitioner, combined with the considerable number of negative reviews already appearing on this page, I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

He doesn’t deserve any star at all.nHe ruined my life. He did an incomplete surgery in my knee and made the condition worse. Perhaps I will never be able to join the job that I was dreaming to after completing my study as I can’t walk properly.

Great surgeon cannot recommend highly enough. If you value punctual, professional and highly experienced surgeons, he is fantastic. From my first meeting to my full recovery I could not be more delighted. Thank you Russell.

Russell is an outstanding orthopaedic surgeon. I suffered a complicated fracture of the lower leg and could have lost my leg. Thanks to Russell's meticulous internal fixation, I was able to return to skiing. I used to practice as a doctor and I was told by colleagues I was lucky to get him.

Botched up a partial knee replacement on me twelve years ago. Wrong components and placed incorrectly. I have never been worse off since! He agreed that the surgery wasn't a success with a nod as he records his appointments. No top orthopaedic surgeon will touch it to correct the problem until l am crawling!
