Summary

  • My name is Derryl Miller, MD, and I am a child neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist. I am currently practicing as an Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Physician with SpecialtyCare in the America's Northeast and Mid Atlantic Regions. My interests at SpecialtyCare include improving postoperative outcomes and making surgery less intimidating for patients and providers. I can be reached at Derryl.Miller@specialtycare.net

    Previously, I practiced full time as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology within the Child Neurology group at Riley Children's Health, reading electroencephalograms (EEGs) for IU Health, and Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) for IU Health. My research at Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health Physicians included the diagnosis and treatment of children with epilepsy and with medically intractable epilepsy with medical, dietary, and surgical therapies in collaboration with the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium, the use of folic acid for improving cognitive outcomes of children of women with epilepsy, and studying the risk of epileptogenesis in patients with heightened but uncertain risk of recurrence of seizures. Riley Hospital for Children is a Level 4 National Association of Epilepsy Center and referrals can be made by calling (317)-948-7450 or faxing an order to (317)-968-1193.
