About Thrive Peds

We are a holistic pediatric medical practice based on the core values of health and wellness, along with kindness, compassion, integrity, and unity for all children and their families. We focus on the whole child, from the importance of a healthy diet and adequate sleep, to the effects technology and stress can have on a child’s brain and overall social, emotional development. Mental health is more important now than ever, and we are here for you and your entire family.

She fell in love with her patients and families and quickly realized outpatient pediatrics was her calling and passion. Dr. Miller is married and has 4 beautiful children (including twin boys) and a sweet puppy named Snickers. She was blessed to have the opportunity to home school her children this year, but looks forward to seeing you and your little ones in the office come Spring 2021!
