Dr. Laura Miller

Living my dream is the name of my game and I would love to share my expertise with you! As a private owner of Arbor Hills Veterinary Clinic, I get to work in a great environment that I have cultured. I practice the medicine style I want to and am not forced to follow the ways of the corporate practices, which are becoming very abundant. My approach to veterinary medicine is a proactive approach. I would much rather prevent a problem than find a problem and have to react to the pet’s ailments. I do this by helping to educate clients and my team. If my client’s understand and know what to expect and my employees can watch for signs that are concerning and report to me, then I can efficiently help that animal. I often get a thank you from my clients for spending that extra time to explain everything. So please if you don’t know or don’t understand I would love to hear from you so we can clear up any confusion! When I am not practicing veterinary medicine I am enjoying my time with my husband and a plethora of animals. I can be found delving into the dungeons of nerdy video games, outside playing with my animals, swimming or taking a hike with my phone as a camera or occasionally will dust off that Nikon in the closet. I also volunteer time to the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association as a board member and help other veterinarians in my district stay on top of the current news and debates.

I have a strong interest in education and always make sure all of your questions are answered. I like to work together with you to come up with the best medical plan for your pet, keeping cost in mind so it's the most effective way to manage their disease. I love helping pets with chronic skin disease, and I'm also interested in behavior as a starting point to help control undesired behaviors, with a referral to a behavior specialist if it's needed or wanted. My goal is to keep your pet's care local, here at Arbor Hills, and refer only when a specialist is truly needed.

I'm Fear Free certified, and in 2025 the Jackson Chamber of Commerce named me Small Business Person of the Year. A few fun facts: my favorite patients are Labrador Retrievers (yellow is my favorite) and orange cats, and I enjoy taking landscape photos with my Nikon cameras. I'm always looking for ways to improve myself and help others wherever I can, and I'm very active with my family, my church and the policy decisions that shape how veterinary medicine is practiced.
