Despite the uncertainty, Miller said people call his practice every day to schedule appointments. “People are happy. They love the practice, and they are leaving Google Reviews,” Miller observed. “It’s not the blast off I wanted, but this isn’t normal times so considering the situation, I think we’re doing well. I’m optimistic.”
Not only is each new patient special to him, but every patient is contributing to a cause that is near to his heart. Miller has partnered with an organization in Harrisburg, “opens in a new windowDream on 3 Foundation.” The non-profit is like The Make-a-Wish Foundation, but focuses on making sports-based dreams come true for children with chronic illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities and life-altering conditions.
