Meet Dr. Kelly McMillin, the February 2015 Provider of the Month

Dr. Kelly McMillin is Board Certified in Family Practice and joined the medical staff in 2010. She attended medical school at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, Colo., and completed a residency in Family Medicine at the University of Wyoming Family Medicine Residency Program in Casper. Dr. McMillin’s practice is Frontier Family Medicine in Gillette.

Dr. McMillin grew up in Rozet, Wyo., and always had an interest in medicine, though as a child she thought she would become a veterinarian. As she began coaching young people while in high school, her interest in people made medical school the logical choice. She wanted to come back home to practice medicine, where there was a strong need for family medicine in the community.

According to Dr. McMillin, with a family practice you see everyone from grandpa to the grandkids and have the chance to form long-term relationships with patients. She understands that sometimes people come to see her for visits that are not purely clinical and may just need someone to talk to. Those relationships are why she looks forward to coming to her office every day.

A mother of three active boys, ages 7, 5, and 3, Dr. McMillin’s schedule revolves around the seasons for wrestling, soccer and other youth sports. She and her husband KC are active in their church, and Dr. McMillin has just begun to get back to horseback riding, something she loved to do growing up.

Thank you Dr. McMillin, for providing our patients with excellent care.
