Neurosurgery is surgery on the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Below is a partial list of common conditions that Dr. Miller treats as well as some of the more common surgeries he specializes in. Dr. Miller is an expert in minimally invasive surgery (MIS)- Meaning that the smallest possible surface incision is made using specialized instruments to still allow the full surgical treatment that you would have received through a much larger traditional incision. This improves your recovery time, pain, and provides a better cosmetic result without any compromise in quality of care. Dr. Miller also is a Cleveland Clinic trained Gamma Knife (radiosurgery therapy) provider which is used to non-surgically treat certain brain cancers.
