Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Gastrointestinal symptoms can be some of the most personal complaints patients can have. While two patients may have the same diagnosis, the symptoms may affect each person’s life very differently. This specialty allows me to develop a relationship with each patient and to create a treatment plan that is specific for that person.
Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?
I enjoy treating a wide variety of conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, liver disorders, disorders of the stomach, and functional bowel disease. I am particularly interested in quality in endoscopy and colorectal cancer screening, because as our quality improves, so do our patient outcomes.
Where did you study?
After high school in Fort Worth, I went to Washington University in St. Louis, where I majored in history. I then went to medical school at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University, and remained in the Chicago area for my training. I completed my residency, followed by my Gastroenterology Fellowship at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, in Park Ridge, IL.
What certifications do you hold?
Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy going to the zoo and museums with my wife and two children. We love traveling around the country. My kids help me garden, and we especially like growing tomatoes.
Do you have any special honors or recognition in your medical career that you would like to share?
I have published research related to quality in endoscopy. During my last year in residency, I was awarded the senior resident teaching award by my peers.

He is very good at what he does and office is ran flawlessly.
He takes time to listen intently. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and improving their lives.
Very professional and friendly. Great doctor visit!
I am well satisfied with your office. The staff are very efficient and courteous.
Excellent discussion and testing completed while planning a solution for my IBS and Ulcerative Colitis. Excellent doctor with focus on solutions.
Worked with Paula at Haverty’s in Coppell. She was so responsive to our furniture needs. She said what she’d do and did what she said. She got quick answers for us and returned calls promptly. A pleasure to work with.
Dr. Mills saved my life. Literally. I'm still here and he's doing everything he can to make sure I stay this way. Excellent bedside manner. Sweet. Truly listens. Takes notes. All of it. So thankful he was brought into our lives.
Friendly and attentive. He listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions.
Excellent bedside manners. Professionalism and caring for the well being of the patients.
Always professional from checking in at desk throughout appointments or procedures. You feel well taken care of the whole process.
Dr Mills was attentive to my concerns and answered all my concerns. While no one likes to have these tests Dr Mills was able to put my fears aside.
Very personable, great chair and bed table side manners.
My first visit after being with my gastroenterologist for 30 plus yrs that retired. Needless to say I was scared of the thought of seeing someone else. He made it extremely easy. I’m looking forward to see how it goes moving forward. Joyce Sherrin

Dr. Mills and his staff are excellent in all aspects. They are efficient, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. He and his staff have earned my confidence. I will continue to go to them for my healthcare needs.
My first visit with Dr. Mills was good. He listened to me & gave me information on how & what not to take & do. I really liked him taking the time with me. I’ve only been once but I would recommend Dr. Mills. I also would say, his staff is very friendly & kind.
I was pleasantly greeted upon entering the office. She asked a few questions to verify who I was and address. I then had to fill out a few forms. Waited a few minutes to be called back to a room. There I answered a few questions about health history with nurse. Dr Mills came in to ask a few questions and explain procedure. He was very professional, polite and answered all of my questions. The favorite part was he gave me choices between two liquids and pills. I chose pills. He showed me the type pills and how I would take them. I felt very comfortable talking with him. Then the nurse escorted me back to the waiting room. I was then called back to speak with the scheduling of my procedure. She gave me choices and very kind. She also gave me paperwork which she explained. She gave me a phone number to call if I had any other questions. She then took me to the pharmacy next door to pickup my prescription. All is handled in one place. The procedure is done on the first floor of the same building. I had put this off for 15 years because I didn’t care for my original doctor or medication. This changed everything for me. He and his staff are very good!

Reception area is very pleasant. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. My procedure was scheduled and explained so I knew exactly how to prepare. Dr. Mills has been my GI guy for many years and I count myself lucky to be in his care.
Five stars for Dr. Mills and his entire team. Dr Mills, Heather (Nurse), Michelle (Nurse), and Micah (Anesthesiologist) all displayed excellent interpersonal skills/professionalism and made me feel comfortable before and after my colonoscopy. I can't remember the names of two other team members, but they also provided the same level of customer service. I will definitely recommend Dr. Mills to my family and friends!!
Great team Doctor Mills is the greatest.
Takes his time explaining everything
Overall a great experience.

I love Dr Mills. I have been seeing him for over 4 years and he is always available to me if I need him. I have irritable bowel and he has prescribed the right medication to help it. Even though his office is a distance away from me I would never think of changing Drs
Listened to all my concerns and provided the best direction for my care step by step.
Excellent Doctor.
