Dr. Miller was my friend, doctor, and man of great advice. He saw my wife and I at the Same visit so he would listen not take sides and give a solution. We always would have talks till midnight sometimes later. He was a very generous person and great bed side manner. I miss him very much. He was a good friend to me and my wife. Rip. Doc

Dr. Miller was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful man. He helped me transition from male to female and had so much compassion and understanding. I still miss him. I'm sorry I didn't know about the memorial service in time to come.

I worked as Dr. Miller's secretary at the Chicago Department of Health and revered him. He lit up the room and always had a special sparkle in his eye. Everyone, including me, crushed on him. When he left, he had a tea ceremony party that I will never forget! He was such a gift.

There are no words to express what a light Dr. Miller was in my life. He also helped my sister and I when we were ready to give up. His love was immeasurable and I am so blessed to have been a patient of his for over 10 years. I will forever miss his compassion, grace, lessons, laugh and style. I will never forget him. God Bless you Dr. Miller. You were simply the BEST! Prayers to Yoko, Yumi and family who he loved so dearly.

Dr. Miller was a great, down to earth man. I am thankful that I was able to have him in my life; even if it was for just a short time. Very inspirational, and warm-hearted person. I will forever miss our talks about Japan, but will never forget his encouragement to keep reaching for my goals. Thank you Dr. Miller for everything. May you rest in peace.

Saddened to hear the news... an amazing man and MD. Words cannot really give justice to all that he was, what a Light on this Earth, and one-of-a kind! A bright spirit, a delightful soul, a loving heart, a brilliant mind, and a healer on so many levels. He will be very much missed. I'll always remember him on Valentine's, what a day to transition on!, the holiday of love, for someone with such a big heart, and who shared of himself, his gifts and his talents (and his love) with so many. Blessings and love to all his family. I was a patient/friend along with my parents.

I am very saddened to learn of Dr. Miller's passing from this world. He was my Doctor for several years during a crucial time in my life and, as so many have said, he was my inspiration and the model for what a Primary Physician should be. I can also say he saved my life! I always felt like I was bragging when I told someone who my Doctor is! I am particularly proud to have met his wife, Yoko, whom he relied on so heavily. Blessings to you.

As I was researching Dr. Miller and his practice this morning, I was saddened to see he had passed. I truly loved meeting and greeting him and his wife, Yoko, to our annual Internal Medicine Meeting in San Francisco since 2011. Dr. Miller very much reminded me of my late grandfather, which may be why I felt the deeper connection. He was a very gentle soul and sweet man and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him. My condolences to his family.

Dr. Miller was my PCP for almost 10 years! He truly loved his craft and cared for his patients. He practiced medicine in the way it was truly intended, one that has been forgotten about. My deepest condolences to his family.

I was truly heartbroken to learn of Dr. Miller's passing. He was my Doc for many years and no other physician will ever be able to fill his shoes. He was a beacon of light and ray of hope for his patients.

Dr. Miller THANK YOU, MISS YOU and say Hi to my dad!

P.S. Yumi I am sorry for your loss.

Only just reading this now, April 4. Regret missing visitation at the office. All my love to family. And to Dr. Miller: You were my physician, counselor, and friend. So often you and I, so of like mind and spirit, laughed and shared stories, incites and insults, like two old drinking buddies in a bar. But what's important, you were always there for me as a patient first! There are few whom I've known in life I'd choose to walk with through eternity, but you would be welcome.....
