Tamara McMillan

As a dedicated Army Veteran and Certified Physician Assistant with over four years of experience in primary care, urgent care, and hospitalist medicine, I bring a patient-centered approach to healthcare. After retiring from the Army, I relocated to Wisconsin to be closer to family. I am passionate about empowering patients through clear, compassionate education on diagnoses, treatment options, and prognoses, fostering autonomy and aligning care with their values and goals. My clinical expertise includes procedures such as suturing, splinting, biopsies, wart removal, I&D, and women’s healthcare.

Outside of work, I enjoy crocheting, cooking, gardening, hiking, and snowboarding, as well as attending concerts, camping with family, and reading. A collaborative team player, I am eager to join a healthcare team committed to exceptional patient care.
