Dr. Heather Miller

Veterinarian

While a student at Ohio State University, Dr. Miller completed externships at the Columbia Zoo and Aquarium, at the University of Georgia in the exotic animal specialty ward, and at Disney's Animal Kingdom. She returned home to South Carolina in 2006, and in 2010 she accepted a job at the Greenville Zoo as the Deputy Administrator for Animal Health. She enjoyed the challenge of caring for exotic species for just over 5 years.

She and her husband are a great team and very generous to have opened their home to foster children. With three children of their own, dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies, theirs is a busy, lively, and happy household! Dr. Miller is an extremely kind, compassionate, and caring person. She loves pets and people, and we are very fortunate to have her on our staff!
