Dr. David W. Miller, MD, LAc, is the medical director of pediatric integrative medicine at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health. He is dually board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics and Chinese medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Dr. Miller received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and his medical degree from the Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, Rhode Island. He completed his internship and residency in pediatrics at the University of Chicago. He then completed his Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine with the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (now the Pacific College of Health and Science) in Chicago.

Before joining UH, Dr. Miller led a successful private practice in the Chicago area for 15 years. He has designed curricula in master’s and doctoral programs in integrative physiology, pediatrics, medical communications and public health and has been an active participant and leader in numerous state and national medical associations.

Dr. Miller enjoys educating peers, students and the public on numerous aspects of holistic and integrative health. Dr. Miller works extensively with gastrointestinal issues, psycho-emotional issues including anxiety, musculoskeletal pain, headaches, nutrition/diet and lifestyle concerns, and support surrounding growth and development. He enjoys helping families with holistic care for kids on the spectrum as well.

Long-COVID is another area of care delivery about which Dr. Miller feels passionate. He co-directs the UH Rainbow Long-COVID Recovery Clinic with pediatric infectious disease physician Amy Edwards, MD. If you have a child you suspect may be suffering from the after-effects of COVID infection or another infection, please reach out. Kids with prolonged fatigue, post-exertional malaise, new onset pain, brain fog, nausea, and/or dizziness may have this condition. Long-COVID overlaps with chronic fatigue syndrome, dysautonomia, POTS, and other conditions, so consider an evaluation if your child is experiencing these symptoms.

Dr. Miller does not act as a primary care physician, but rather as a consultative and adjunct provider to the care received from your pediatrician and other providers. He is happy to work on an ongoing basis with your family or provide a single consultation or short series of visits.

Dr. Miller enjoys collaborating with other physicians and providers to develop a comprehensive care strategy that feels right for each family. Children ages newborn to 26 years can meet with Dr. Miller for care.
