I presented myself to Dr. Mills in 1997. My injuries were from an automobile accident two years before. My problem was pain in my lower back radiating into left hip and legs. The test and appointments with doctors in the Horry County area seemed to be a never-ending process with little relief. Upon my visit to Dr. Mills, he instantly saw the problem. Within minutes after the test started, the problem was diagnosed. I had a deteriorated disc in my lower back and I needed a fusion. Dr. Mills performed the surgery at Conway Hospital. Within two weeks I was a new woman. The nerve pain had ceased and I began to grow stronger and stronger every day. Within six weeks I was doing knee chest leg raises. After three months I was running. I thank God for Dr. Mills and his staff. I do believe that God heals us, but I also believe he uses people like Dr. Mills and his skilled hands of compassion to do the work. Here I am now years later after a serious fall in a grocery store 2012 seeking his help once again. I will be having a new procedure called XLIF, which is a less invasive procedure than before. I look forward to recovery and know that once again God will use the compassionate hands of Dr. Mills and his staff to move me toward a life pain free. -- Katherine W.
