Nancy Hadley Miller, M.D.
Dr. Nancy Hadley Miller is a professor and pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Colorado Denver and The Children’s Hospital in Aurora, CO. She is also Medical Director of the university’s Musculoskeletal Research Center. Dr. Hadley Miller moved to Colorado recently from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. She has been involved in research regarding idiopathic scoliosis (IS) since 1988. Her research interest stems from a longtime commitment to research as it relates to her patients and clinical practice. Since the start of her pediatric orthopaedic practice, she has become increasingly aware of the significant impact that IS can have upon an adolescent's life. Characterization of the gene(s) for scoliosis would hopefully lead to more specific treatment regimens in order to minimize the impact IS has on the adolescent and their family.
