- “At Milestones, you’re in a cocoon of healing. And there is a time when you outgrow that. And you go away. But in a way it’s not gone forever. You carry a piece of it with you.”

Treating the root
Many of the issues holding us back are deeply rooted in trauma, and we often have to heal our past to create the present and future we desire.
Milestones offers an innovative approach to traditional treatment. We focus on the source of your pain—not just the symptoms. Our team combines one part science, one part art, and a touch of magic to heal what hurts and put you back on the path of possibility.
Helping you heal from the inside out
Our culinary team incorporates high-quality ingredients from local farmers to ensure that everything we offer helps aid in the healing process. We aim to ensure that the time you spend with us enriches your mind, body, and soul.

Dr. Neil Bomar
Vice President of Medical Services
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.
