Please do your research before using Dr. Daniel L Miller. He’s very dishonest and unethical. He told me not only did I have Pectus Excavatum, but also needed a chest wall expansion. I never felt any better and at the one-year mark I got two other opinions and both doctors consulted with each other and agreed I never needed a chest wall expansion and never met criteria to have one. Now I will be having a procedure to fix his mess.
