Miya practices at Miya & Torchinsky ENT in the 4060 Fourth Avenue medical building in the 92103. General ENT patients routed from Hillcrest Ear Nose & Throat for operative management receive tonsillectomies, septoplasties, and endoscopic sinus procedures under his hand. Dr. Miya graduated Magna Cum Laude from Creighton University School of Medicine in 1992 as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society after an undergraduate microbiology degree from UCLA in 1987. His head-and-neck residency training at the University of Kansas Medical Center spanned 1993 through 1997. Acute odynophagia and peritonsillar abscess cases referred from Scripps HealthExpress Hillcrest for same-week surgical drainage are slotted into the Miya & Torchinsky surgical block at Scripps Mercy. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery on patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis refractory to medical therapy is the practice's highest-complexity operative workflow.
