About Bernadette Miller, M.D.
Dr. Miller’s love for medicine first began when she took a human physiology class at Tulsa Memorial High School. She said that class is where she fell in love with learning about how the body works and inspired her to become the physician she is today.
“While I practice all areas of internal medicine, I have specifically fallen in love with helping patients with Hypermobility Syndromes (such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) and Dysautonomia Syndromes (such as POTS) and I can only thank my amazing patients for influencing me to learn more about these conditions that are currently underrecognized and not well understood,” she said.
When it comes to advice for patients, Dr. Miller said, “Advocate for yourself and learn about your medical conditions on your own so you can challenge your health care team to consider things they haven't considered!”
Dr. Miller values the relationships she builds with her patients and understands the vulnerability that goes into creating each one. She said, “I view myself as a flawed human being just like everyone else, which instantly makes it easy for me to be down to earth and put myself in the shoes of others. I am a professional at listening, supporting and doing my best to learn what is needed to help my patients, even if it requires some thinking outside the box!”
Outside of work, Dr. Miller enjoys spending time with her husband, Oliver Cerqueira D.O., their two sons, and their animals which include four dogs, one cat and two sulcata tortoises. She adds, “Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies - especially growing tomatoes and cucumbers!”

Patient Reviews for Bernadette Miller, M.D.
-
Dr Miller is an incredible provider that listens to her patients, cares how they are healing, and explains in layman's terms what is happening. She makes sure the patient understands and is a part of their health journey.
-
Dr. Miller has one of the personality types which makes it possible to joke with her. She is astoundingly professional, but also manages to connect to her patients.
-
Dr. Miller showed interest and listened intensely to my concerns. Advised treatment options in a courteous manner
-
Dr. Miller is the BEST physician I have ever seen!
-
From both an earlier encounter and her reputation with other clinicians, I knew Dr. Miller was really sharp. Nothing, however, prepared me for the way she listened, searched through records (and managed to fill in the gaps from those she could not access) asked crucial questions, stayed focused in the midst of my ramblings, and came up with possible diagnoses that may explain and connect so many disparate parts and treatment plans over the past 20 years. And these aren't small potatoes problems; they have been the source of progressive disabilities since 2010. I'm still processing the importance of this appointment. UPC is so fortunate to have Dr. Miller in practice.
-
Absolutely still amazed by the treatment I received.
-
She has been the best PCP I have ever had!

-
Dr. Miller is a compassionate & very patient physician. She is very intelligent & thorough & weighs all her decisions carefully with a set goal & outcome in mind. She has an amazing bedside manner & makes me feel like a friend who is listened to & understood. Even when I have trouble expressing what I am experiencing, she is patient with me & does not try to cut me off but helps me to express what I am trying to relay. I am treated as a family member & I am allowed to speak my mind & advocate for myself but even with this allowance, I know, that Dr Miller will 100% be an advocate for me & my health & well being! My thoughts & suggestions, about my care, are treated with respect & taken with serious consideration & are never minimized.
-
My ONLY complaint is that she made a comment about something that affected me more than she intended for it to regarding my condition. Other than that, Dr Miller is amazing. Very sensitive, compassionate, responsive, resourceful and authentic. LOVE HER!

Dr. Miller is one of the few doctors I've ever met who makes me feel heard and truly "seen" (and I've been to a lot of doctors unfortunately). She is understanding and compassionate and feels like a true partner in my care team. I'm so grateful I met her by chance at her last clinic and that she is now my PCP. I already have, and will continue to, strongly recommend her to family and friends.

Dr. Miller is a breath of fresh air among medical providers. Following recent health complications after surgery, I felt dismissed or even gaslit by other clinicians.

One of the best providers I have seen in years

The Doctor addressed all of my concerns efficiently and engaged in a manner that allowed me as the patient to feel heard, understood, and comfortable.

This is the first provider I've had in over 10 years that truly listened to me, asked me questions and wanted my answers. She asked me about bloodwork that I've asked 3 different providers about in the last 5 years and was dismissed.
-
I cannot say enough good things about Dr Bernadette Miller and the good that she is doing not only for myself but for the chronic illness community. She is on a steep learning curve, and she handles it all with grace and compassion. During my last visit she felt like I needed to see a certain neurologist, and at my most recent visit it seemed like that neurologist had declined to take me on as a patient. She explained to me that it was really important we continue to find someone that can treat what she believes her problems bigger than she is capable of handling on her own and that we need to urgently seek out this type of specialist. I trust her judgment so much, I'm so thankful for her advocacy.
-
First Dr in 3 years to take the time to truly listen and believe my own personal findings as it pertained to my healthcare. First Dr I've personally seen to recognize and have experience with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and seemed eager to continue get own personal learning of the disorder to be able to truly help her patients.

I'm used to being ignored and dismissed. Doctors don't read my file and write me off before I even show up. But not here, she read my file before I showed and Actually listened and asked me what I thought or what tests I'd like ran. I wasn't a ghost anymore and was actually a real person to be helped.
-
I have never had a doctor listen to my concerns, actually believe me, and then give me practical ways to help my condition the way Dr. Miller has. I love her, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a doctor that sincerely cares for their patients.
