"Diverse Brooklyn medical experience" has endowed Dr. Miller with exceptional skill sets for urgent interventions to neurological injury incurred both from trauma and acute cerebrovascular “brain attacks”.

As for emergent interventions both in acute stroke and trauma care, NYU Langone – Lutheran Medical Center, is one of only three downstate New York hospitals to have “Comprehensive Stroke Care Center” designation and maintains the highest “Level I” Trauma Center designation as well.   Dr. Miller remains challenged and informed by these institutions and is proud to have Brooklyn as a setting for his neurosurgical practice.  In addition, Dr. Miller retains appointments as a senior partner with NeuroAxis Neurosurgical Associates, PC, and as a neurosurgeon on the physician staffs of Methodist Hospital, Jamaica Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital of Manhattan, Queens and Roosevelt St. Lukes, North Shore/ LIJ, and Lenox Hill Hospital.

Dr. Miller was raised in Baltimore, Maryland and is the proud son of an Army Air Corp World War II combatant.  He completed an undergraduate education at American University, BS, Chemistry, and his medical education at the Georgetown University School of Medicine (M.D., 1979).  A surgical internship followed at the University of Chicago followed by a year as an Orthopedic Surgical Resident.  Dr. Miller returned east to Washington, DC, for a combined research and clinical fellowship at the National Instititutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Instititute (NCI), in Quantitative Autoradiography, a precursor to positron emission tomography (PET Scans), and the Children’s Hospital National Medical Center in Pediatric Neurosurgery under, Thomas H.
