He has lectured throughout the world to many orthodontists seeking creative new ideas to better serve their patients, and currently enjoys lecturing to orthodontic residents throughout the US.

Family Life

Is there life away from the dental chair for Dr. Miller? Along with fun activities such as fishing, boating, snow skiing, traveling and tinkering in the garage and garden, "Bob" loves to spend time with his wife, Juliana, and their two boys, Ronan and Jonas, who are students at Highland School. The best part of his day is arriving home to two boys yelling "DADDY!"
