Primary Care
Paradise Family Healthcare provides comprehensive primary care for patients aged 12+. Services include preventive exams, chronic disease management, and in-house minor procedures. Our board-certified providers use electronic medical records to ensure coordinated care and offer same-day appointments for urgent needs. We specialize in treating seniors with conditions like diabetes and hypertension while serving diverse age groups.
Weight Loss Programs
Our physician-supervised weight loss program addresses obesity through customized low-dose medication regimens. Designed for patients with BMI 28+, it minimizes side effects while improving health outcomes. The program includes monitoring to reduce risks of heart disease and diabetes, with many patients successfully discontinuing related medications after achieving weight loss goals.
Addiction Medicine
We offer medication-assisted treatment for tobacco, alcohol, and opioid addiction. Combining FDA-approved medications with behavioral counseling, our approach reduces cravings and relapse risks. Certified providers follow American Board of Preventive Medicine guidelines to treat addiction as a medical condition while supporting affected families through recovery processes.
Preventive Exams
Annual preventive exams focus on early detection of chronic diseases. Services include cancer screenings (colon, breast, skin), vaccinations, and cardiovascular assessments. Sports and DOT physicals ensure safety compliance, while senior-focused exams address age-related health risks through regular monitoring and wound care management.
Telehealth Services
HIPAA-compliant telehealth visits provide safe access during health crises. Using video platforms, we conduct consultations, medication management, and follow-ups. Alternative methods like phone check-ins maintain continuity of care when secure platforms aren't available, ensuring uninterrupted treatment for chronic conditions and mental health support.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice. I see Dr Pamela Miller whom I am so happy with. She is kind and upbeat. Always has a smile. Her nurse is also very helpful. They spend time asking you questions about your health and any issues you are having. Dr Miller does not rush you. Explains everything in detail. All the staff is wonderful. A wonderful practice

I was a patient there until they told me I couldnt come anymore as he was only seeing patients on Medicare. I was forced to find another doctor. I did like them and never had any issues. They forced me to leave.

The staff at Paradise Family Healthcare are simply exceptional! I had a recent major healthcare issue arise and the front office staff got me in right away. Everyone was so kind and they genuinely seem to care about their patients. I was given the best care possible and the office staff even went above and beyond to make sure that I got everything I needed (outside referrals, authorizations for those services, and follow up appointments.)

Dr. Pamela Miller will not disappoint you if you are new to this area or to her practice. I relocated to Venice from Iowa and had no idea who or what to take over my primary health care. Dr. Miller and her nurse Donna spent OVER an hour going over my situation and actually examining me. I would give Dr. Pamela Miller more than 5 stars if I could. When I tell you she gets it ... she gets it. I am old and know when someone is rushing. Dr. Miller went over treatments and other less expensive prescription options and the possible problems switching from one drug to another precisely and with

Me and my family have been seeing Dr. Miller for many years and really appreciate the care weve gotten from him and his staff. It feels more like family than a Dr office. They actually care about their patients and their lives. If your looking for that special hometown type of feeling this is where you want to go. Great Dr and great staff. Blessed to have them.
