About Thrive Peds

Dr. Deanne Miller is the owner and founder of Thrive Pediatrics. She was born and raised in rural Iowa and grew up with a strong sense of family values and work ethic. She graduated from Bradley University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and received her Doctorate of Osteopathy from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her pediatric training at Advocate Christ and Hope Children’s Hospital in 2007. She is a board certified pediatrician and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She has been practicing as a Pediatric Hospitalist for the past 14 years in the Chicagoland area and is an expert on complex medical conditions. 3 years ago she transitioned from an illness based career to one of wellness and prevention in outpatient medicine. 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!
