R.G. believed he was attending a nationally recognized program with licensed professionals, and individualized treatment. He reported feeling the staff was rude, under qualified, and unprofessional. R.G. stated he was not given a proper evaluation upon entry of the program. He claimed he was only asked to complete a few questionnaires with no further evaluation. When he was given his treatment plan, R.G. felt it did not address his needs and goals. When he started EMDR, he did not feel comfortable with the individual providing this service and requested to see either Dr. Earle or another clinician. The individual administering the EMDR refused and stated he had goals that needed to be met and there were no alternatives. R.G. was very upset by this and later went to the emergency room (ER) in crisis. He returned from the ER that day and requested to speak with Dr. Earle who did not meet with him until much later. He reported he was told he would have access to staff 24/7 at the sober living home, but no one was there on the weekends. R.G. stated he was in a state of crisis and no one was there to help him, even when he reached out for

I note here that Dr. Otto took over care of the majority of Dr. Miller’s patients after he left the practice (inclusive dates of 09/08 to 2/13) and therefore discovered first-hand the evidence of the lack of appropriate care rendered by Dr. Miller. Dr. Otto stated Dr. Miller was extremely proprietary and secretive with his charts and would not allow anyone to take over his service when he happened to be out of the office for other reasons. The main issues revolved around a lack of laboratory reports and any progress reports were in the chart on post-it notes.
