Meet the experienced and friendly doctors and staff who make Sheridan Eyecare Center the leading provider of vision care products and services in Sheridan.
Jill Miller, O.D., M.Ed.
Dr. Jill Hlavac Miller, a Nebraska native, graduated from the University of Nebraska with a Bachelor of Science degree in comprehensive mathematics and physics. She then graduated from Pacific University with both her Masters in Education and Doctorate of Optometry degrees and accepted a teaching position at Pacific University College of Optometry.
Dr. Jill joined Sheridan Eyecare Center in 1992, expanding our vision care services by offering visual-perceptual-motor testing and vision therapy.

Dr. Jill returned to Sheridan Eyecare in 2002 after moving to Colorado in 1997 to marry Roger Miller, a police detective with the Broomfield Police Department. Roger started his own franchise with National Property Inspections to facilitate the move back to Sheridan, and has subsequently become the Mayor in Sheridan! Most of their time is spent with their children, Ryan, Gabrielle and Michaela.
