If you're looking for accessible pediatric care, a child–friendly environment, and a responsive team of health care professionals in the Albany area, then look no further. We love kids, and our goal is to have a positive impact in the lives of children by providing exceptional health care and compassionate service to the families we serve.

At Willamette Valley Pediatrics, we offer a full range of pediatric care including well-child checks, immunizations, mental health, and same-day sick appointments. Our caring team is committed to providing quality service in a comfortable, safe office setting where children and parents can feel at ease. We also set aside time to equip parents with the tools and resources necessary for the development of healthy children from birth to adolescence.

We aim to educate our patients in a safe environment while offering them the most comprehensive care. Dr. Miller believes that in order to be effective, you must treat all aspects of child development: physical, mental and nutritional health. We understand that many people are not confident with large medical offices and the multitude of doctors your children may have to see. That is why Dr. Miller has decided to open her own clinic and provide her patients with a level of care that is not currently available. 

We are continually striving to enhance the level of care, so we created a soothing, fun and educational environment. Our goal is to give our patients the best, most personal, care in all the Linn-Benton county area.

Dana Kosmala, MD, FAAP

I have been practicing pediatrics for 26 years, and 23 of those years have been here in the Willamette Valley. It gives me great joy to work with families and to be a trusted professional in their lives. Having a Christ-centered practice is important to me, as I believe it keeps me focused on meeting families where they are at and keeping my priorities straight. I strongly feel that parents should be the main decision makers for their children, and I will give my opinion based on my years of experience and raising children myself. I by no means have the final say on what medical decision you make for your child or how to raise them. I would encourage you to be the example that you want your child to emulate. 

In my free time I enjoy beekeeping, spending time with my family and working on our family farm. I am active in my community, church and with the local farmers markets.

Simon Bachofner, MSN FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest where I completed my undergraduate education at Western Oregon University in 2003 receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Medicine/Biology. 

I later attended the Linfield College-Good Samaritan School accelerated nursing program graduating in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Senior Honors in Clinical Excellence. I then spent the next 12 years working in both the acute care/trauma and primary care settings. I’ve been a staff and charge RN in the Emergency/Trauma Department working in regional and community medical centers throughout the Oregon Mid-Willamette Valley.

I received my Masters of Science in Nursing from Gonzaga University’s School of Nursing and Human Physiology in 2021 and am board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the AANP.

I have a passion for fitness and nutrition and the role they both play in health promotion and disease prevention. In my spare time, I am the co-owner and operator of a CrossFit Affiliate gym in Albany, OR. I also coach athletes of all ages, write and design fitness programs, and am an avid athlete myself. I live in Albany, OR with my wife and two children.
