I see Dr. Mills for Crohns disease. He is the 8th doctor I've consulted for this condition. Dr. Mills has been the most insightful and the most compassionate physician I've consulted to date. His extensive background treating this condition jumps out from his conversation. He is quick to sort through a number of interrelated digestive system issues and get to a thoughtful conclusion. Most notable to me was that he was focused not only on the treatment but the time it will take to achieve relief - a refreshing change from the norm.
This was a follow up appointment with Dr. Mills on Zoom. He was receptive to my issues and gave me feedback.
Dr Mills always listens and the office staff is great at communicating
I find that talking to Dr. Mills very easy and informative. He gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedures and I know it’s the right thing to do. As a doctor he is a great asset to the Phoenix area.
Dr Mills has been my Doctor for around 24 years and he is absolutely amazing. I owe my life to him.
The best GI doctor anywhere!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. Mills and the entire office. His bedside manner is outstanding: He is the most caring, understanding and compassionate man. He’s very thorough and makes sure every base is covered.. I have received so much support from the office in helping me with paperwork and medication applications ….you name it and they are there to help. I am so blessed that I was referred here .
I've seen Dr. Mills for GI-related checks for over 20 years now. He and his staff are unfailingly professional, courteous, and helpful. I particularly appreciated the calls from his office before my procedures, reviewing the preparation steps.
Dr. Mills has been my physician for many years and most recently has been managing my feeding tube. He is excellent. Hands down the best GI doctor and a good human being. Thank you Dr. Mills and your entire staff. You are all amazing!
This was the first time with Dr. Michael Mills MD. I was impressed, to say the least. He gave me information on my situation that other doctors had never mentioned. So I left the office feeling hope. Thank you, Michael Mills and his staff.
Excellent from start to finish.
Dr Mills reviewed my health files & discussed the proper procedure & the prep to insure my health. Arizona Digestive Health & their Staff, built a Team of players that know how to execute their position. From the time of registration to the discharge, the entire staff seemed to be in a happy place. Which improves everyone's feelings. I give ADH ******
Dr Mills is a very esoteric doctor. He explains things well, and encourages a patient’s input in their treatment
Excellent, excellent doctor! Dr. Mills rocks! He is patient, kind, explains everything with both knowledge and care. By far, one of the best GI docs around. I feel very lucky to have come across his radar! The staff in the office and outpatient area also kind, compassionate and caring.

Great staff. Congenial, efficient, caring, and covers all the bases. Dr. Mills began this practice 22 years ago. Undoubtedly his expertise and leadership make this one of the best if not the best patient experiences of my life. Thank you all.
I’m a new patient and it was a positive experience. Dr Mills was responsive to my needs and suggested medications that could be helpful. It’s working.
