Our Team
Bob Driver is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician who has been practicing medicine for over fifteen years. He is certified in Advanced Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and is also a member of the Age Management Medical Group. He received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Duquesne University and his Doctor of Medicine from Drexel University College of Medicine.
Bob founded Spartan Medical Associates as his opinion of aging and health evolved during his professional career. He noticed a lack of focus on proactive medicine and was frustrated with the failings of standard medical treatments. He also learned to reject the notion that some things just come with old age. Fatigue, weight gain, muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and other “old age symptoms” can be prevented and reversed. Bob has become an expert on BHRT and wants to help clients restore balance for a healthier life. He offers individualized bioidentical hormone replacement strategies and a concierge level of service that brings the expertise to you.
When Bob isn’t practicing medicine, he enjoys weight training, cycling, cooking, scuba diving, and spending time with his family.
Doug Miller is a board-certified emergency medicine physician with dual training in internal medicine and over 20 years of clinical experience. After obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree from Washington & Jefferson College, he went on to receive his Medical Doctorate from Georgetown University Medical School. He continued his training at Jefferson Medical Center’s internal medicine residency program and, thereafter, completed his emergency medicine residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Doug became interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy when his wife struggled with thyroid issues and estrogen/progesterone imbalance throughout her childbearing years and pregnancies. Through his wife’s experience, he became acutely aware of the gravity and surety of hormone deficiency that can occur and the complexities of replenishing these vital hormones.
As an avid fitness and nutrition enthusiast, Doug has always maintained a healthy and active lifestyle through cycling, running, sports, and weight training. Yet, in recent years he began feeling like he was not getting the same benefit from his workouts. Motivation was not the only problem; he was just not getting the results he was used to seeing from vigorous workouts and a healthy, well-balanced diet. He realized he had reached andropause and set his mind to doing something about it. In joining efforts with Dr. Bob Driver at Spartan Medical Associates, Doug’s mission is to deliver state-of-the-art Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to the Lake Norman and Charlotte region. The symptoms of aging we all face are no longer an inevitable fact of life… we now have a choice. Dr. Miller seeks to help those patients who choose to embrace modern evidenced based medicine to maximize their health, vitality, and quality of life.
Beka Yates is a board-certified Physician Assistant who has practiced internal medicine since 2013.
She received her undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sports Science from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and then went on to complete her Physician Assistant studies at the Medical
University of South Carolina. Through her years managing chronic illnesses, she started to recognize
that there must be a better way to treat patients than to keep adding more medications at each visit.
She especially started to notice the increase of hormone related medical problems not only driven by aging but exacerbated by the standard American diet, high stress lives, poor sleep, and environmental
toxins.
Beka applied and was accepted into the certification program through the Institute of Functional
Medicine in 2018. This training taught her how to look at the body as a whole to help her
patients regain optimal functioning by addressing the root cause of their disease. She went on to
further her training in BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement) with courses in the BHRT Training
Academy and Worldlink Medical.
It is not only about the number of days on this earth but the quality of those days. Through a
personalized approach, Beka helps her patients regain their vitality for life and feel younger than they
have in years.
Outside of medicine, Beka’s passions include exploring new places, staying active through CrossFit, and creating gourmet meals with her husband.
