Robert E. Miegel, M.D.

Dr. Miegel specializes in total joint replacements of the hip and knee using minimally invasive techniques and the latest in computer assisted surgical navigation. He attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology for undergraduate and graduate studies in engineering before heading to medical school. Dr. Miegel returned to Boston for his residency and orthopedic fellowship at Harvard Medical School where is is presently on the faculty. He is affiliated with Mount Auburn Hospital, New England Baptist Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital. See complete bio.
