Dr. Matthew Q. Miller graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and went on to complete his Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency at the University of Virginia. Motivated by his own experiences as a facial paralysis patient after a bicycling accident in college, he completed a two-year facial reanimation fellowship at Mass Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School in June 2021. During this fellowship he received NIH funding to study gene therapy delivery to transected peripheral nerves. Dr. Miller became the inaugural director of the UNC Facial Nerve Center at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in August 2021, and it has become one of the largest centers for comprehensive facial paralysis treatment in the world. Dr. Miller is widely published and lectures nationally and internationally on cutting-edge treatments for facial paralysis. He has authored the BMJ Best Practice guidelines for Bell’s palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Dr. Miller serves as one of two facial paralysis section editors for the largest facial plastic surgery journal, Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine.
