Morgan MillerChiropractic Assistant
I have been working with my father, Dr. Eric Miller, since 2013 while attending college full time. Dr, Miller has inspired me to help heal his patients and everyday at work is a rewarding experience. Working as a Chiropractic Assistant has allowed me to help attend to our patients needs by providing them with physical therapy modalities such as Intersegmental traction, electrical muscle stimulation, thermotherapies and ultrasound. Controlling proper patient flow is a large part of my position. Our goal is to keep our patients appointment times to a maximum of 45 minutes in and out. Giving patients a great experience in our office and helping them to meet their healthcare goals gives me a great sense of pride and accomplishment.

I have been working with Dr. Miller, Dr. Shehab and the team since 2018. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many great patients and continue to meet more great people every day. It is an awesome experience to be able to help patients get well and really have a big impact on the future of their health. Being able to work closely with patients in the chiropractic/medical office has inspired me to pursue an education in Medicine/Chiropractic at University of Illinois-Chicago.
