Our Team

Dr. Neil Bomar comes to Milestones with a varied medical and psychiatric background. He is an honors graduate of Vanderbilt University and completed his medical degree at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center in Memphis. An early career in primary and urgent care medicine led him to Kentucky, where he attended the University of Kentucky to pursue a residency in occupational and preventive medicine. He practiced occupational and corporate medicine for Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky, before returning to Memphis to complete a residency in psychiatry. From 2004 to 2011, he built a busy private psychiatry practice while serving as a consultant for Methodist and Baptist hospitals.

Dr. Bomar has spoken on the regional and national levels at symposia on topics such as opioid addiction and the interface between psychiatry and primary care. He has consulted for companies providing services to geriatric clients as well as clients with intellectual and developmental disorders.

In addition to his private practice, Dr. Bomar has served as medical director of substance abuse treatment centers at the intensive outpatient and residential levels. He has also served as a regional speaker for Pamlabs, Forest Pharmaceuticals, and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals. His breadth of experience in psychiatry and primary care led to a focus in the areas of trauma and addiction. He has been the medical director for the last five years at a nonprofit organization, providing comprehensive treatment to adolescents with addictions and trauma-related disorders. It was this experience that inspired him to pursue Onsite’s opportunity at Milestones to further his work in the field of trauma and codependency.

Rachael Tanner-Smith, LPC-MHSP, PMHNP-BC, serves as the psychiatric nurse practitioner at Milestones. As a dually licensed counselor and psychiatric nurse practitioner with nearly twenty years of clinical and leadership experience across levels of care and over a decade of teaching mindfulness and meditation, she is uniquely qualified to support clients in creating a life they love.

Before training as a nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt University, she served as both primary therapist and clinical director at outpatient substance use and trauma treatment centers. Rachael brings her love of experiential clinical work, such as EMDR, Brainspotting, sand tray, and contemplative approaches, into her work as a nurse practitioner.
