Bryan J. Mills, M.D.
Bryan J. Mills, MD is an Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in the treatment of hand and wrist injuries and ailments. He typically treats patients with Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fractures, Nerve Entrapment, and Trigger Finger. He chose the hand and wrist as his specialty due to their importance in a patient’s everyday life, but also because it is an intricate part of the body that involves so many different aspects of the orthopedics field.
Dr. Mills spent part of his childhood in Southern Florida before moving to Northern New Jersey where he graduated from Columbia High School. He attended the University of Florida, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He went on to earn his MD at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, before completing his residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and his Fellowship in Hand Surgery at the University of Massachusetts.
As a surgical resident in 2013, Dr. Mills presented his research on “Posterior Spinal Fusion in Children With Flaccid Neuromuscular Scoliosis: The Role of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilatory Support” at the Pediatric Orthopaedic Club of New York and saw it published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics later that year. In addition, he collaborated with Dr. Thomas Breen and Dr. Peter Wagner to research “Outpatient Pain Management After Operative Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures” while completing his Fellowship in Hand Surgery at the University of Massachusetts.
Dr. Mills is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Association for Hand Surgery and Harris County Medical Society. In addition to his passion for medicine and healing patients, he enjoys meteorology, traveling, water-skiing, fishing, and ultimate Frisbee.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Each procedure done by Dr. Patel has been an improvement. Very pleased.
Everyone here is so professional and kind. Everything was explained to me so that could understand what had to be done.
When I started, I couldn’t put any weight on my right leg and now I can do virtually anything. While I hope to not need future therapy, this is without a doubt the place I will return to in the future.
Excellent care and attention to patients. I recently had a total hip replacement and I am able to walk 6 weeks after surgery with no cane.
Dr. Mihu is the most intelligent and polite Dr I have ever visited. Her and her nurse Nicole made me feel so welcomed. I have never encountered a doctor who knew so much and asked so many important questions
Great experience with Dr. Tanous and staff. Telling our entire family and friends about my husband Mel ‘s injury and the kind and expert care we received . Our thanks and appreciation .
Dr. Blalock did surgery on my broken wrist on Tuesday. I liked him a lot as did my husband. Took time to explain everything in detail even though his phone was ringing non-stop.
Dr. Patel has been a great Doctor for me. When I was referred to after discussion we decided to do injections in my back.
I just think that this is the best health care facility to this day. I truly appreciate all the PT, so far they are consider it.
Dr. Mohr and his staff are very friendly people. They treated my father very well and made him feel comfortable in his uncomfortable situation.
My wait time was minimal. My son and I genuinely like the doctor and how he explained our condition to us. We never felt rushed.
Dr. Mills has an excellent "bedside manner". He answered my questions in a simple, straight forward manner.
