A native Kansan has established his dental practice at Heart of Kansas Family Health Care to treat patients of all ages and all walks of life.
Dr. Christopher Miller’s office is located at the Great Bend Heart of Kansas location, 1905 19th.
“I practice general dentistry, which includes a wide variety of treatments and services,” said Dr. Miller, who is originally from Hill City. “I focus on prevention, emergencies, restorative dentistry, oral surgery and endodontics.
“It is especially gratifying to be here at Heart of Kansas,” he added. “This is a welcoming environment where everyone works as a team to educate patients and provide a high level of healthcare to each individual.”
Part of the education Dr. Miller offers his patients is emphasizing the importance of dental health.
“There is a strong connection between oral health and overall physical health and well-being,” he said.
In addition to his Heart of Kansas practice, Dr. Miller also provides orthodontics at his father’s dental practice in Hill City.
He received his undergraduate degree at Kansas State University in 2013; five years later, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Dr. Miller’s advanced education includes a general dentistry residency at NYU Langone Dental Medicine at Tukwila, Wash.
“Since finishing my residency, I have worked as a traveling dentist at many locations, while also working part-time at my dad’s private practice,” he noted.
Brett Middleton, chief executive officer at Heart of Kansas, said “we are truly fortunate that Dr. Miller has joined our team of high-quality healthcare providers. We completely understand the importance of exceptional dental health for everyone. Because of his professionalism and compassion, Dr. Miller is a perfect fit for our patients and our staff.”
Heart of Kansas Family Health Care is a Federally Qualified Health Center, which allows it to be a safety net for patients who are uninsured or underinsured. Its professional providers also welcome those with insurance at the Great Bend, Larned and Stafford locations. Heart of Kansas is open to everyone.
