My approach to treating patients
Dr. Miller specializes in the treatment of bone and joint disorders, injuries, broken bones and arthritis. This includes arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder and knee and the use of artificial joints to replace knees, hips or shoulders that have been destroyed by arthritis over time. He also treats sports injuries, childrens' injuries, work-related injuries and some common nerve-compression conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Getting to know your Orthopedic Surgeon:
Before becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Steven Miller spent nearly a decade as a Mechanical and then as an Aerospace Engineer.
After graduating with honors from one of the nations federal academies, he took a job at Newport News Shipbuilding Company where he contributed to the design of the nuclear power plants that propel our nation's fleet of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Later while working for General Electric's Aircraft Engine Division, he made significant contributions to the design of several commercial aircraft jet engines and then to the development of stealth technology for military jets. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Ohio and is licensed to practice medicine in Ohio, Kansas and Florida.
After graduating in the top 10% of his class at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, he completed the Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program at the University of Florida. Since completing residency, he has been in private practice, first in Kansas and now in Athens, Ohio where he serves as Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital and is an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
During his undergraduate training at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Dr. Miller served aboard 5 different Merchant ships visiting 13 countries on 5 continents. He played football in college and was a nationally-ranked Golden Gloves boxer. The lessons learned by living, working and competing at so many different levels, with so many different cultures have been invaluable and have confirmed to Dr. Miller that we have many more similarities than differences suggesting that maybe we really do all belong to one family.
