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.
-
Absolutely loved this apt! First time in 2 yrs I actually felt seen and heard. Miller took the time to listen! She was extremely knowledgeable!!!
-
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. Dr. Miller stood out as the only one who genuinely understood the significance of my symptoms within the broader context of my health. Her sharp intellect, compassion, and ability to see the bigger picture have been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for her exceptional care.
-
Other than my neurologist I have never found a doctor that understands my condition until I found Dr Miller.

Dr. Miller is awesome. She listens. She is very down to earth.

This was the first time I truly felt listened to during a doctor visit.

I feel very blessed and fortunate to have found Dr Bernadette Miller as my primary care physician. She follows my health concerns closely and is also very supportive when I shall improvement in my health. She has made some excellent referrals for me which has helped my mental and physical health. She's very compassionate and easy to talk to and I like it that she also has a sense of humor which puts me at ease. During a difficult couple of months this past year she stayed in touch with me on my chart and will always answer me on the day that I sent her a message which is rare for doctors to do this. I would highly recommend her to other patients
-
Dr Miller is focused on my care, listens to my concerns, and explains the care goals.
-
Dr. Miller took notice of a limp I had not mentioned which showed how carefully she takes note of her patients issues.
-
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 truly felt heard from Dr.Miller and I could not be more pleased with her empathy, compassion, and understanding.
-
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.
