Dr. Greg J. Miller
My medical practice provides home-based supportive and palliative care. I see patients and families in their home environments and specialize in providing symptom management. Symptoms can be physical, such as pain, fatigue, nausea, and shortness or breath, or they can develop as a result of nonphysical conditions such as anxiety, depression and fear.
Most of my patients have a life-limiting disease, and many are receiving care from hospice. Providing scientific-based symptom management in conjunction with a team of end-of-life health care specialists is very rewarding. End-of-life care has been neglected in this country, and therefore, patients and families are in need of information, support and quality care. Providing this care is challenging and being allowed to participate in an individual's last stages of life is a wonderful privilege.
I believe this type of medicine represents why I became a physician. I can provide symptom relief, be allowed to care, spend time time with my patient and their family, and know that I have truly improved someone's quality of life.
