Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best obgyn!
Dr Mills delivered my son 13 years ago and I have referred my friends and family to her with no reservations. She is always knowledgeable about the latest treatments and procedures. I trust her completely. I saw some reviews complaining about the staff and I’m truly surprised. I have had no problems with her staff and wait times are minimal. They call before every appointment and are courteous and efficient. Now I’m going through menopause and she is just as caring and informative as she was with my pregnancy. She explains my options and is never condescending if I have questions. I have lived in many parts of the country before I settled in New Orleans and not one doctor in any field has been as honest and respectful as Dr Mills. She is what a healthcare professional should be.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Mills. After having the same OBGYN for over 20 years and her retiring...it took me some time and a couple of OBGYN's to find someone that I felt like I was comfortable with. She reminded me so much of my longtime OBGYN and that was a very important decision for me. Now, both my daughters are also patients of Dr. Mills and that speaks volumes.

I love Dr. Mills and have been a very happy patient but her staff is very difficult to deal with. After receiving a post card in the mail that I needed to call and speak to a nurse (3 months after my original appointment) it took me 8 phone calls to finally get someone to call me back all to tell me it was an accident with no apologies. Every time you try to schedule an appointment it takes at a min. 3 phone calls before anyone actually can schedule.

Do not go to this doctor! This doctor’s office just DOESN'T CARE. The coder miscoded my visit which caused my insurance to deny a claim that, if coded in any way that made sense, would have been covered 100%. (still not fixed) Also, they NEVER answer the phone and they have no voicemail. If you happen to get lucky and speak to someone and leave a message it will never be delivered. I had a serious medical problem and had to give up because when I could get in touch my calls were never returned.

I absolutely love Dr. Mills. I've been seeing her for almost 6 years now and she delivered my first born at Touro. The longest I ever had to wait at her office was about 1.5 hours do to some kid wanting to be born during my scheduled appointment. ;) *Side note for c-section patient. If you read this, I'm so sorry that to you! If I were you I would look into some legal action against the hospital & whoever was on staff.

"Oh sorry, I have to give you a c section because the doctors on call at Touro screwed up by allowing you to labor down too long and now the baby wont come out." This is what Dr. Mills told me when she arrived at the hospital to deliver my son. My birth experience was awful. I burned up all of my maternity leave with this horrible c section recovery because of a screw up. Very nice and polite, but I would not choose this doctor for an ob. Also her wait times are 1 hour to 4 hours at the offi

I love Dr. Mills she makes you feel like family. Answers all your questions. When me and my wife went to her she always greeted us with a big smile. The staff was extremely help and went above and beyond. My wife never had a problem getting in touch with them or scheduling a appointment. Even though Dr. Mills wasn't able to deliver our baby because the babies came early and she was out of town she sent some just as nice and capable has her to deliver our children. I would recommend her to anyone

My only negative to this office is getting them to answer the phone. If you leave a message, do not expect a call back from them. Also, since it is so difficult to get them to answer the phone, that means it is very difficult to get an immediate appointment. I have actually had to drive to the office to make an appointment because no one answers the phone. Dr. Mills, however, is an excellent doctor. She is nice, friendly, and makes you feel like family. I do highly recommend her as a doctor.
