Mark D. Miller, MD

Dr. Mark D. Miller’s reputation as one of the premier shoulder and knee surgeons in the region continues to grow year after year, even after 13 years of being a partner of The Orthopedic Center of St. Louis.

Before Dr. Miller moved to the St. Louis area in 1998, he attended Phillip Exeter Academy and Wesleyan University. He completed his orthopedic residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he took care of the nationally recognized women’s soccer team. He then accomplished two fellowships: a shoulder fellowship at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City, and a sports medicine fellowship with Dr. James Andrews at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama.

When a patient meets Dr. Miller, they know immediately that they are in good hands. Figuring out what to do about a shoulder, knee, and sports or work related injury can be a scary thing, and Dr. Miller’s advice puts patients at ease. Knowing that you are receiving a specialist’s knowledge as well as getting tests completed and reviewed all in the same building, is one of the few items that The Orthopedic Center expresses to everyone. This one-stop shop has a surgery center, MRI/ CT scanner, exam rooms as well as physical therapy—all of the necessities to receive the best care possible for your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Miller believes most problems can be treated without surgery; for those patients that do, he recommends the procedure be scheduled as soon as possible. A patient can expect to learn about all possible care and treatment options from Dr. Miller as he customizes solutions for each individual.

“I’ll give several options for treatment and then tailor the care to the patient’s individual goals, desires and expectations,” Dr. Miller says. “The patient needs to be invested in their outcome. We work as partners in their health care.”
