About
Dr Miller was born in Washington, DC, and grew up in Silver Spring, MD. He attended college first at the University of Miami, then at the University of Maryland, where he had a broad range of studies, including Art, Art History, and Zoology. While helping a college roommate study for the dental entrance exam, he decided dentistry looked like "fun". He took the entrance exam without any preparation himself and did well enough that he decided to apply to dental school. Dr Miller attended the University of Maryland Dental School where he fell in love with the artistic part of the training and realized dentistry was the perfect fusion of his interests in art and science. Dr Miller started a private practice in the Rockville area in 1978 with the mission of achieving optimal dental health for each of his patients by providing individualized treatment that fosters ongoing patient relationships. His treatment approach is conservative and focused on the prevention of dental problems with an acute awareness of the connection between oral and overall health. In 2000, Dr Miller earned his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. Driven by a desire to constantly learn and improve, he regularly takes continuing education courses, both in-person and online, attends multiple conferences every year, subscribes to dental podcasts, and follows the latest dental journals. His on-going education allows him to utilize the most modern procedures and technology in his practice. Dr Miller is a former member of the Dean's Faculty of University of MD, and he serves on the Southern Maryland Dental Society Peer Review Committee. Several times a year he volunteers at Mission of Mercy Dental Clinics, where patients who otherwise do not have access to regular dental care are able to receive treatment. Dr Miller provides pro bono dental services to refugees who have recently been resettled in the DC area and through Maryland Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped.
