Meet the Milestone Team

Jennifer knew from a very young age that she wanted to work with children. Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, she moved to Visalia in 1996. In 1998, she met her husband, a Tulare native, and they've been happily married for over 20 years. Together, they have two daughters and enjoy traveling and spending time in their RV. Their family also includes two beloved pets: a Boston Terrier named Loki and a Silver Lab named Milo.

Jennifer’s interest in the medical field sparked in 1998 when she spent hours riding along on the ambulance with her husband, a paramedic. Deciding to pursue nursing, she attended California State University, Fresno, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, graduating in 2003. Jennifer spent the majority of her nursing career working in pediatrics, including five years at Valley Children’s Hospital. Her experience also includes work in forensic nursing, the emergency department, and urgent care.

In 2013, Jennifer returned to CSU Fresno to earn her Master’s degree and became a nationally Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Since then, she has worked in pediatrics as a Nurse Practitioner, and the connections she makes with her pediatric patients and their families bring her great joy. She loves nothing more than a “Doc McStuffin” exam on a favorite stuffed animal or a round of peek-a-boo with an infant.

Jennifer recognizes that being a parent is the hardest job in the world. She is passionate about taking the time to ease parents' worries or simply lend an empathetic ear. It’s all part of the job she truly adores.

 When you love what you do, going to work doesn’t feel like work, and Dr. Julianne Randolph truly loves what she does! A board-certified pediatrician with over 10 years of experience in Visalia and Exeter, Dr. Randolph serves as the medical director of Milestone Pediatrics.

Dr. Randolph knew from the young age of 6 that she wanted to be a pediatrician, and she committed herself to working with children in various capacities. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Point Loma Nazarene University before graduating from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2008, where she was honored as a National Health Service Corps Scholar from 2006-2008. With deep ties to the Central Valley, Dr. Randolph returned for her residency at UCSF Fresno in partnership with Valley Children’s Hospital, which she completed in 2011.

Her international experience includes working in clinics and hospitals across Africa, Cambodia, the Dominican Republic, and China. Dr. Randolph continues to serve locally through the Christian Medical and Dental Association with various clinic outreaches. Travel is one of her greatest passions!

Dr. Randolph and her husband have called Visalia home since 2011, and together they have two children. As a working mom, she is transparent with families about the challenges she’s faced, including her own struggles with breastfeeding, which inspired her interest in Breastfeeding Medicine. She is passionate about helping mothers meet their breastfeeding goals.

Dr. Randolph is committed to providing compassionate care filled with empathy and kindness. She believes every family deserves to be heard and understood. Valuing family time and healthy habits, she helps others find balance in the chaos of everyday life. The greatest joy in her work comes from getting to know families and watching their children grow.!
