Not only did they not change his clothes, but he was in the same dirty disposable underwear for 48 hrs. No socks on his feet, but they left his shoes on him during the middle of the night! I have cameras in house and it's all recorded. Company fired one tech, but not the other one. Both were at fault. The tech they didn't fire left my dad in thigh high plastic sequential leg pumps. They were only supposed to be on for 60 mins. Per video, they were left on for 2.5 HOURS! My father couldn't get up if he wanted to since he can't get leg pumps off himself. They also left him in his room- except for meals when normally he sits in living room most of the day. They also didn't check on him for hours at a time! Again, all on video and shown to supervisor. This was in the Columbia Missouri franchise. Funny though that when I posted something about this on the BrightStar FB page, people told me to reach out to the main headquarters. I did, and NO ONE EVER GOT BACK TO ME! Shows you how little they care what goes on in their franchise business. I was told by the VA, who contracts out to them,to hotline with the state. I did that and the agency dropped my father as a client. They even billed the VA for that weekend services!

Avoid Dr. Miller at all costs…read more Long story short - his work will not hold up and can lead to serious health problems, details below. Received a couple of fillings, crowns, and a root canal (from a filling he did wrong) from Dr. Miller over 1-1.5 year period about 3 years ago. At this point, all work he placed in my mouth had to be replaced and some of them have led to serious issues and oral surgery. First, my last treatment at Columbia Center for dentistry was a root canal. The root canal was on a tooth Dr. Miller did a filling on 2-3 months prior. At the time of the filling I said that it didn't feel like it was in my tooth all the way. He told me that it was just my tongue and the anesthesia, looked in my mouth and said "looks perfect to me" I insisted it wasn't in and he told me that he was the dentist and I wasn't and said I should purchase a warranty plan on it if I was unsure. 2-3 months later I'm back in the chair, filling wasn't in all the way and debris got into it, more decay, needed a root canal. After the root canal I said "good thing I bought the warranty" - was told the warranty only covered another filling and I had to pay for the entire root canal. I said that was ridiculous because I pointed it out prior and even bought the warranty. They ended up refunding me the warranty after the complaint and I got a letter that I was kicked out of the practice because I "disrespected him and his time". What about my (correct) opinion about the bad filling? And my time and money I had to spend getting his mistakes fixed? But that's not where this root canal ends. Today, I have just left an emergency surgery after having a CT scan on my head revealing a massive abscess resulting from his root canal. Something about him not putting posts in and the roots breaking off from the main tooth, leading to a gigantic infection that (not exaggerating) ate completely through the rear portion of my upper jawbone. I had to have multiple bone grafts just to keep the rear tooth from drifting away and to have a chance at an implant in the future. Doesn't stop there. After columbia, I lived in St. Louis for one year. The dentist there had to repair a crown Dr Miller had done that fell off. The dentist remarked how the tooth was almost completely ground away and that "usually dentists have a plan when they make crowns". Then I move to Chicago, the first dentist I see asked the same question as the stl dentist "who was your previous dentist?". One of the other crowns Dr. Miller did, he had ground all of the tooth away to a tiny nub and cut my gums, and then attached the crown while they were still bleeding which led to a leaky seal, allowing bacteria into the tooth which had spread down to my jaw. Had to have a portion of my jawbone removed and that crown extracted as well. Had to have all the other crowns and fillings replaced too. Same story with every crown, tooth ground to a nub. I got a second and even third opinion before I had all of this done - with the exception of todays emergency surgery. Last night and this morning were the most pain I have ever been in amongst surgery, broken bones, anything. Pure agony. I also never knew that root canal specialists existed until leaving Dr. Millers practice. Not only did he not refer me to one before botching mine. He did not even suggest or mention it. Now after 2 oral surgeries and 3 trips to my new dentist, all of his work is finally out of my mouth. It has cost me tens of thousands of dollars, a lot of pain, a lot of time, and portions of my jawbone that will hopefully recover with the cadaver bone grafts. Missouri has a 2 year statute of limitations against malpractice so legal recourse is limited. He might be able to do one or two fillings fine or a sloppy crown but I cannot begin to describe how much misery Dr. Millers sloppy work and arrogant attitude have brought to my life. I can't even eat solid food for 2 months now because of the extractions and missing jawbone. Other 1 star reviews have disappeared but email me if you want evidence.

I called 5 area dentists and Dr.Miller's Office returned my call Monday morning and they were able to get me in ASAP. None of the other dental offices ever returned my call. Dr. Miller was very thorough with the exam and I scheduled my filling for the following week. The office and the staff are just exceptional. So clean and there are excellent amenities, even Netflix as you get your dental work done! And the staff is so wonderful! They fully explain your payment estimates and options before beginning treatment and take care of everything with insurance! And as for the quality of work - I have never had a better numbing job than Dr. Miller! I didn't feel a thing - and I had a very large filling! It made an unpleasant experience a pleasant one and I am very grateful for his treatment! I highly recommend Dr.Miller and the Columbia Center for Dentistry - you will not be disappointed.
