Dr. Christopher Miller is a fellowship trained foot and ankle surgeon with a particular interest in minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery, total ankle replacement, and limb salvage surgery.
He was raised in New Haven, Connecticut. An avid athlete his whole life, he attended the University of Pennsylvania for undergraduate education where he was a varsity letterman. He graduated with honors and pursued his medical school education at Yale University School of Medicine where he graduated with his MD and a Masters in Health Science. He was active in research throughout his medical school and published on biomechanics and clinic outcomes of fusion procedures.
After finishing his undergraduate medical education, he continued his Orthopaedic Surgery residency training at Yale New Haven Hospital. During this time he found that his true clinical interest lay in the care of complex foot and ankle conditions. He then finished his training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellowship.
Following his fellowship training, he moved to Beth Israel and the New England Baptist Hospital where he practiced for eight years. He is on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School and is active in clinical care, research and teaching. He cares for all aspects of the foot and ankle and is actively involved in limb salvage and amputation prevention efforts for this patients.
He is an internationally recognized expert on minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and arthroscopic surgery for the foot and ankle. He was one of the first two surgeons in Boston to utilize MIS techniques and has rapidly expanded the indications and capabilities of to treat a wide variety of conditions ranging from bunions and hammertoes to complex limb deformity cases as well as sports injuries, Achilles tendon injuries, and ankle instability. Early in his practice, Dr. Miller travelled to Spain multiple times to learn from surgeons in Europe and has brought many of these techniques back to the Boston area. He is particularly interested in MIS and arthroscopic surgery as it has the potential to improve patient outcomes, and decrease post-operative pain, scarring and wound healing complications.
He founded Boston’s first MIS Foot and Ankle Center while at Beth Israel and NEBH in 2019. Since then he has travelled nationally and internationally to teach these complex surgical skills. He has also served as the Division Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at BIDMC until his departure in 2024.
In addition to his expertise in MIS, he also extended the role of total ankle replacement surgery within the Harvard hospital networks. One of his primary goals is to facilitate a more rapid recovery and preserve function and motion whenever possible. To that end, his experience with total ankle replacement, and, in particular, complex ankle deformities and revision total ankle has been an exciting addition to his practice. As he continues to work towards improving care for these patients, he has also been able merge these two clinical interests and often is able to use MIS techniques to perform complicated surgeries safely and effectively.
As of August 2024, Dr. Miller has transitioned his practice to the Mass General Brigham network and has rejoined his fellowship mentors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital where he will continue to work towards developing and advancing MIS and arthroscopic foot and ankle surgery, total ankle replacement, and limb salvage cases.

The nurses are always, and receptionists always, and I can never say it enough, very helpful and supportive and informative. Dr. Miller is amazing and I am so grateful to have him. He's very, very supportive and very, very thorough and explains everything.

I came in for a second opinion with Dr. Christopher Miller and it was a very positive experience.
2026-09-06
-
Yeah, Chris did a really good job explaining to me my options and what things look like. I just sent in the MRI images because the hospital system relies on CDs apparently. That is incredibly inefficient but not his fault. Yeah, he did a great job and I appreciate him.

I thought I was going to see a podiatrist, not an orthopedic. I think there's a difference. I'm not sure. Very nice man. I don't want pills, but that's what he put me on. I wanted to be treated for the bone spur that I had, but apparently I have something else. I did like him. He was very professional, very nice, and I would go see him again. Yes.

It was a very short visit. I felt he was in a rush. He told me about the surgery he would do. He would make a incision in the back of leg to enlarge the calf. Shorten toes insert pins. He ask 2 questions, why was I there, and did I have pain. He said I could try orthotics. I asked 2 question, didn't get a answer . .

This doc is amazing. Train the others to be like this. Everything was excellent but the Checkin admin had a serious attitude. Controlling may be a good word to describe. Why do women ( and I loosely use this term) have this tendency to exhibit an attitude? We get that they are good at their jobs but a softer tone would be beneficial.

Dr. Miller is GREAT! I had for pain for years and was seeing another surgeon who just kept telling me to continue using the gel pads and other solutions that weren't working well to reduce the pain in several areas of my foot. Dr. MIller took one look and suggested the minimally invasive surgery that has me walking pain free today and every day! He "walks on water" in my humble opinion!

Dr Miller was very professional. This was an initial visit so there were questions related to my basic health, how long my foot arthritis bothered me, to what degree and what my Podiatrist had recommended. He recommended a course of progressive actions which I have scheduled. He explained the situation very well and should the process require surgery later on, what the procedure would be like as well as recovery time and what abilities I could manage with less pain. His overall manner was attentive, instructive and cordial. I feel very confident in Dr Miller's treatment abilities.

Dr. Christopher Miller is an excellent surgeon!!! He's done major surgeries on both of my feet, correcting the bone on bone and other problems that I was dealing with. He reduced my pain, which in turn has reduced my blood pressure. It's been a long process, but he has been there every step of the way. He's very kind and supportive, easy to talk with and explains things very well. He's very professional, responsive and respectful; I truly believe I received the best care I could have possibly received anywhere. In over 2 years of working with him I always felt he was giving me 100% of his attention to my case and I Never felt rushed. I have the Utmost Respect for him. He truly is an asset to Brigham and Women's Hospital and is certainly of the highest quality of Doctors that they would want in their employment. I was also pleased with the excellent service I received from each and every employee of the Brigham and Women's medical system. Everyone was always polite respectful friendly very professional and efficient.

He was ok the first time. Very quick. Did not look at podiatry notes until i showed him one. Should have said we can do a full exam and history next time. First i want an MRI to see what is going on now. Instead he said we need the MRI before i commment we need a diagnosis. Makes sense and keeps it quick

He seemed very into himself. Explained things, yes, but he was not very cordial. I mean, as if he had a bad day or something. So he didn't show any empathy at all, which is strange. And I found hard, to be honest.

Hi, I thought the doctor was okay, I mean nice enough, but he just didn't seem like he was really too interested in my issues and I kind of understood that because I'm not there for, I'm not probably a candidate for surgery, but I am having a lot of issues with my ankle and he basically just gave me some orthotics, PT, and the only thing I did gleam out of it is that he said it was good, that it healed fairly quickly, [redacted]

I chose my doctor, Dr Christopher Miller because of his expertise and his previous patient comments. He's respectful and also seems kind. But he doesn't really say much. He listens to me and gives a short response. My actual time spent with him is brief because not a lot is said. After I explained my ongoing problems, he ordered an MRI but I wish we would have had a longer conversation to discuss potential scenarios. It all just seems very abrupt.
2025-11-22

Dr. Miller answered my questions. He was very thorough. He reviewed the previous x-rays that were taken on my last visit and compared them with the present. And I was very pleased with my visit. Thank you.
