Dr. Kevin Miller was born on Eglan Airforce Base in Florida, and grew up on many different bases in the mid-west and east coast. Inspired by his grandfather’s example of professionalism and caring, he chose to pursue medicine, graduating from Oral Roberts University in 1991, then going on to Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine where he did an additional year fellowship in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. After graduation in 1996, he completed a residency at Ohio University. “Being a physician allows me to serve people in need through science and compassionate care,” says Dr. Miller.
After his wife, Dr. Eden Miller, a native Oregonian, finished her training in Portland, she suggested the family look for an opportunity to move to Central Oregon and High Lakes provided that opportunity. “We have enjoyed seeing the wonderful people of Sisters for 10 years. The combination of great people, natural beauty and wonderful opportunity for raising healthy children have kept us enjoying our practice.”
Dr. Miller is a current board member of the Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons Board. He is the past President of OPSO and American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians of Oregon and is also the current president of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians of Oregon. He has served as a delegate on the AOA board of delegates representing Oregon at this yearly meeting in Chicago. He was also serves on the Governor's Board of Rural Health.
“I enjoy being involved in my children’s lives, going on family hikes and participating in their school and sports activities. I also serve on many boards in order to help improve the health and well-being of patients in our state and nationally.”
