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.

The Long-Awaited Help I’ve Been Searching For
Telehealth
I was recently diagnosed with chiari malformation and thought a stressful time, I’ve felt absolutely heard, validated, and cared for by Dr. Cinski and her staff. I’ve had symptoms of my diagnosis since 2018 and have been referred to eye doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, etc., but never got to the root of the issue. I’ve seen Dr. Cinski twice since August 2024 and not only have gotten a diagnosis twice confirmed by MRIs, but also been prescribed a treatment plan to assist with symptoms while I wait for the neurosurgery appointment she referred me to. All of that in 3 months that I could’ve had years ago. While I wish other doctors had taken the time or had the background that Dr. Cinski does, I’m so grateful I found her and the iNOVA neurology team upon my recent move. For the first time in a long time, I’ve had hope I can live a better, more pain free life in the near future. I finally feel heard, supported and confident in a medical plan that will work for me.

The BEST neurologist around!
I wanted Dr. Miller/Cinski to be my neurologist when she was here in Hawaii, but she moved away to the mainland. I work as a therapist in the hospital that she used to consult, and I have 30 yrs of experience so I can tell you first-hand that she is one of the most thorough, compassionate, and well-versed practitioner that is a master of her craft. I saw the neurological patients that she worked with, I've read her notes, I've worked with the nurses, doctors and other therapists she's worked with and there is not one bad thing anyone has to say about her, plus, she really knows her stuff! I've met other neuro docs that took her place but there's only one Dr. Miller (as I've known her), and I've never met anyone that comes close to her caliber. She's way younger than me but taught me a lot of things that I use in my work on a daily basis. Really miss her.

During my initial visit a few months ago, it was quickly obvious that Dr. Miller had a detailed level of understanding and plenty of pin point experience in treating my rather rare type of headache condition. After spending 41/2 years being treated by another Northern VA neurologist who did not have the experience with my condition that Dr. Miller has, I was fortunate to have been able to reach out, locate her, and have her agree to treat me.

I have known Dr. Miller since 2003. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, kind, well respected by her peers and nursing staff, always an advocate for her patients, able to handle complex medical issues efficiently with excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr. Laura Miller.

Dr. Miller was recommended by my GP and I am so happy with her. After my first appointment, I found out she was moving to a new location. I followed her to her new Ewa office even though it meant an additional half hour drive. She is worth it.

I think Dr. Miller is not only thorough and knowledgeable, she is also caring and compassionate. She would definitely still be my neurologist if I had not moved so far away.

Dr. Miller was very thorough. She spent over an hour with my husband and I reviewing my symptoms and MRI results. While it took several months to get in for a new patient appointment, she was worth the wait.

Very kind compassionate and thorough. She takes time to answer questions and concerns, and she explains every thing. She pulled up my MRI on a computer and went over the images with me, and explained it so well. This is the fourth neurologist I have seen and no other one even bothered to show me a report or a single image. I am so glad that I found her. It was not all good news, but I felt relieved and even comforted just knowing that she is working with me on the neurological issues.

Condescending, arrogant, argumentative, kept looking at her watch as if I was taking too much of her time. Horrible neurologist, unhelpful, and just pushing the newest meds. Avoid at all costs.
