Why Choose Dr. Miller at the UNC Facial Nerve Center?

Facial movements are coordinated and complex. The art of restoring facial symmetry at rest and with facial expressions is equally complex, and treatment MUST be customized to the each patient. Dr. Miller understands the importance of creating a holistic and personalized treatment plan for each patient as not only has he spent many years studying and performing facial paralysis treatments, but he also is a facial paralysis patient himself!

Regardless of how long you have lived with facial paralysis and the cause of your facial paralysis, Dr. Miller can perform the most cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical treatments to optimize your facial symmetry and function.
