Christopher Milford MD

1. Tell us something about yourself?
I grew up in Kansas and did most of my medical training at the University of Kansas, including medical school, residency, and fellowship. I also did one year of fellowship training at Johns Hopkins. From an early age I knew I wanted to eventually become a doctor through the influence of my father, who was an oral surgeon. I also developed an interest in music through the influence of my mother, who was a music teacher. I developed an interest in neurology after reading a book in college called “The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat”, by neurologist Oliver Sacks. It was about a man who was becoming demented. I was fascinated. The fact that everything about who we are is determined by our brain fascinates me to this day. In medical school, my interest in neuroscience made the courses easy for me, and I simply “followed my bliss” from there to where I am today. At one time, I performed as a musician, but these days my interest in music manifests in my seeing live music of all kinds.

2. How long have you been in practice?
I have been in practice in Las Vegas for 17 years. The city of Las Vegas intrigues me almost as much as the field of neurology, and I love it here.

Dr. Milford recently received a medallion gift from one of his patients who works for LVMPD. The medallion is supposed to protect those who possess it.
Here is Dr. Milford’s thank you letter to the patient:
