Mia E. Miller, MD

/

Dr. Miller worked as a UCSF faculty member prior to being recruited by the House Clinic, where she has practiced since 2015. She was initially drawn to otology and neurotology by her love for microsurgery as well as the development and advances made in cochlear implantation. As a neurotologist, she improves patients’ lives through hearing improvement, skull base surgery, as well as medical management of otologic disease. She enjoys providing the highest level of care to her patients and witnessing the profound impact treatment has on their quality of life.
