Jessie Miller was born and raised in Orlando. She has spent most of her life here. In fact, she lives down the street from her parents and the home she grew up in.
Jessie attended college at Florida State, where she majored in Biology in the Honors program. From there, she went on to the Medical University of South Carolina for PA school. There, she received a Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. She has been a Pediatric PA for more than15 years and has worked in the neonatal intensive care unit, newborn nursery, pediatric orthopedics, as well as, pediatric neurology.
At Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy Specialists, Jessie’s favorite part of her job is the patients. She specializes in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions in children, including: epilepsy, migraines, developmental delays, and neuromuscular disorders. She works closely with families to create personalized treatment plans, provide education and support, and ensure that each child receives comprehensive, compassionate care.
As both a physician assistant and as a parent, she is passionate about working with families navigating the challenges and triumphs of raising children with special needs. She can relate well with her patients because her oldest son is Autistic. This personal journey with her own son, who is minimally-speaking and has high support needs, has given her a profound understanding of the unique obstacles her patient’s families face.
Her own experience drives her commitment to provide compassionate, individualized care that empowers families and helps their children thrive. She finds immense fulfillment in supporting others, knowing firsthand how rewarding it is to see progress, build connections, and foster resilience. She finds it an honor to walk alongside these families on their journey.
In her free time, Jessie loves spending time with her husband and chasing around their three wild boys. She enjoys cooking healthy meals for her family, spending time outside at the pool or the beach, and reading fiction.
