Dr. Helen Kim Mirau, MD

She commented on the size of my breasts during my breast exam, unrelated to any complaint for me about pain or anything, but made sure to tell me that I didn’t look “weird” like other big breasted women do. She referred to my abdomen as “alarming” in referencing its size due to fibroids, commented that they were much bigger then before, called in a med student to look at me, and then scheduled ZERO follow up related to them. I feel like she really wants me to have surgery I don’t want. She referred to her practice as a “hobby”. Maybe that’s the problem. I left feeling ashamed of my body and concerned that my medical concerns are being dismissed. Looking for a new doctor.

I was insulted during the visit and a follow up phone call. Too shocked to understand the experience. Not sure where all the positive reviews come from.

Dr. Mirau is an excellent highly trained OB GYN. She has one of the few remaining solo practices in our area. She takes a personalized interest in each of her patients and delivers outstanding care. Dayton is fortunate to have this kind of caring attentive doctor. I would recommend her to anyone seeking either OB or GYN care.

Waited 45 minutes for an ultrasound that lasted 5 minutes. Changed Doctors due to poor care.

Dr Mirau was awesome!. I was there for a pap and HRT postmenopausal. No woman likes a Gyn visit, but this doctor was friendly and tried to get to know me before proceeding with the exam. She put me at ease and was very understanding of my fear at being there. I would absolutely recommend her to other women. The office staff and nurse were also very sweet. A most dreaded appointment became a positive one!

Excellent Doctor

Best doctor I have ever had! Wish she could be my family doctor!

D. Mirau has now delivered both of my children, and I could not be more thrilled! I have finally found a doctor that is in the business because she cares about her clients. If you want to move away from big business, run of the mill, get you in, get you out doctors and hospitals, see Dr. Mirau. Dr. Mirau does a fantastic job keeping up on how to best treat you and your situation, she sees and treats you as an individual ( as practicing medicine should be). She is very well educated, and spends time to enhance her knowledge as she practices. I know I am in good hands when I see Dr. Mirau, and that she has the best interest in mind when taking care of me, and my pregnancies. Pregnancy can be an overwhelming time, but Dr. Mirau is a kind, honest, intelligent aid/advocate to making it go as smoothly as possible.

I really appreciated Dr. Mirau taking the time to ease my fears about my upcoming biopsy. She caught the problem and helped me through the procedure. My visits with other doctors were so quick, they had their had on the door when they asked me if I had any questions. She was so personable and caring. I wish more doctors were like her. I did have a favorable outcome and I appreciate the care I received from her and the staff.

My initial visit with Dr. Mirau went extremely well (this was around 2010) and I was grateful to have found a local OB GYN. However, my second visit (in 2011) was very different. Dr. Mirau was extremely rushed and distracted, as was her staff, and she ended up making a mistake that made me feel very uncomfortable. I ultimately decided to find a new Dr. because of this.

Dr. Mirau is an outstanding doctor. She made sure I was well taken care of during my pregnancy. I never felt silly about calling with questions or concerns, she always validated how I felt and listened to me before she diagnosed me. It was comforting to have a doctor who listens to you. I had complications with my pregnancy, but could not have been in better hands. Dr. Mirau's expertise in the field made me feel comfortable and confident the whole time. She was a strong advocate for me and the baby. It was a blessing to have a doctor that cares about her patients. She is attentive and kind to her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Mirau!

prescribed me meds that were dangerous for me to take

Saw her for my second pregnancy - had it been my first I would have totally be lost. She was all over the place, made inconsistent recommendations (told me I was close enough to having gestational diabetes, even though I passed the first screening, and the next visit told me I needed to eat more carbohydrates to gain weight, even though I gained over 50 lbs during my pregnancy overall.) At the hospital, she prescribed sleeping pills upon the birth of my baby. And I was breastfeeding! She completely disregarded some legitimate questions I had, and changed her course of action every single appt (said she would do ultrasound next visit - then didn't have time on that visit so would say it wasn't the right time to do one, etc.)
