About Robert John Mills IV

Logo for Johns Hopkins Physician

Background

Robert Mills, D.O., joins Johns Hopkins Community Physicians with many years of experience as a family medicine physician. He grew up in New Jersey and attended Villanova University for his bachelors of science in biological sciences. Upon completion, he earned his doctor of osteopathic medicine from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. As a provider, he finds it rewarding to get to know his patients on a more personal level and help them manage their health throughout their lives. He understands medicine is challenging on both sides - for his patients and as a provider - and he knows that providing a comfortable environment, where patients feel heard and respected, is what makes a good patient-physician relationship.

Dr. Mills lives with his wife in Canton and has one too many pets, including four cats and a dog.

    This was my first visit with Dr. Mills as a new primary care provider. He was very easy to talk to, remained engaged with me, covered my medical history very efficiently, was knowledgeable about my conditions, and did not appear to be rushed to see other patients or leave the room for other reasons. He seemed genuinely interested in hearing from and learning about me, and tuned out any competing distractions. Also, he was right on time! My wait time was extremely minimal.

    I've been going to this specific clinic for at least 35 years, and I can say, without fear of hyperbole, that Dr Mills is probably the best provider I've seen there. He maintains eye contact and listens. He doesn't stare at the computer while you talk to him. He offers suggestions, not deliver ultimatums. Please, please don't let him leave. It seems like we get new providers every 2-3 years.
