was named the recipient of the 2003 Family Physician of the Year Award by the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.
Selected from a prestigious list of nominated family doctors throughout the State of Ohio, Dr. Miller's significant contributions for the past 23 years to the Holmes County area placed him on top.
Upon Dr. Miller's nomination, Samuel M. Steimel of Steimel Law Office in Millersburg wrote: "House calls are not a thing of the past with Dr. Miller, and he has always provided ample time to listen to his patient's concerns while considering the various alternatives available to the patient and their families. On a personal level, Dr. Miller has provided top-knots medical treatment to four generations of my own family, from my grandparents, parents, myself and my wife, to our newborn daughter."
Dr. Miller has led an inspiring life.
He was reared in the Holmes County community as an Amish farm boy in a family of eight children. As a child, he didn't have the opportunity to graduate from high school, so he began college at age 22 after taking GED tests. He's been married to his wife, Ruby, for 28 years and they have two children.
Dr. Miller graduated from Malone in 1969 and completed medical school at the University of Cincinnati in 1973. After Family Practice residency at Akron City Hospital, he practiced for five years with W.D. Robertson, MD, in Family Practice at Medina, Ohio. In 1981, Dr. Miller and his family returned to Holmes County, where there had not been a new doctor in Millersburg for 20 years.
Unfortunately, there is a sad ending to Dr. Miller's career. Due to the fact that his insurer has placed him in the OB/GYN category of risk, Dr. Miller's insurance rates have increased by 400% in the last 3 years. Facing this crisis, with the combination of his age, the needs of his family, and other interests, Dr. Miller has decided to quit his practice as of June 1, 2003.
Dr. Miller will not stop working, however. He has decided to get more involved in teaching at the Akron City Residency Program and with medical students. He also plans to do some foreign medical missions work possibly in Honduras and Iraq.
