Shelly Miller, MD, MPH

"Dr. Miller started out as an anthropologist and worked in archeology for a few years before moving into public health. She completed a master’s in public health at UCLA, focusing on international health, maternal and child health. Dr. Miller attended medical school in Colorado and spent her senior year working in Zimbabwe and Malawi before returning for her pediatrics residency at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland. A love of learning led her to also complete a fellowship in pediatric infectious disease.

Dr. Miller's career includes working over a decade in a private clinic in San Francisco and Marin, practicing both primary care pediatrics and infectious disease consulting. Most recently, she has been with Stanford Children’s Health in the East Bay.

Dr. Miller loves working with children and their families. She likes to educate along the way and encourages kids to be engaged in understanding their bodies. Her goal is to partner with clients to arrive at the best choice for the family.

Outside of work, Dr. Miller enjoys travel, running, hiking, and skiing whenever possible. Live music and theater are always on the agenda, along with cooking and baking, especially with family and friends. She has two children. 

She welcomes prospective patients to meet with her, including expectant parents before the birth of a new baby."

"We value expertise and experience. Our three doctors have a combined 84 years of pediatric practice experience among them. We employ registered nurses rather than medical assistants in order to provide you with the highest level of nursing expertise, and our three nurses have a combined 83 years of nursing experience.

We value meaningful relationships. We work as a team to get to know your family personally and medically and understand what is important to you. By caring for only a small number of patients, we have the time and ability to address your questions in detail, follow through on any ongoing health concerns, direct and coordinate care with specialists, and to comprehensively understand your child’s physical and emotional health.

We value preventative medicine. We love to provide true “health care” in addition to “sick care,” and our practice structure allows for the time to focus on optimizing your child’s overall health and well- being in much greater depth than is possible in a traditional medical practice.

We value service. Life is busy, and we are committed to making our practice convenient and accessible for your family. When you call our office, your call will be personally answered by one of our nurses, who knows you and your family. When your child needs attention of any kind, our doctors and nurses will attend to your child personally, not route you to an urgent care. Appointments are as long as necessary to address all of your concerns, and are easy to schedule, even same day."
