Laura Milles, DMD has joined the staff of Downtown
Dental Associates, allowing the practice to extend its Friday hours.
Dr. Milles was raised in Mandarin and immediately
after high school graduation she went to the University of Florida where she
earned her undergraduate degree.
“I wanted to go into some type of healthcare, but
didn’t really know what.”
For two summers, Dr. Milles worked for Downtown
Dental Associates, mainly helping out at the front desk, but also observing Dr.
Paul and Dr. Andy at work. It increased her interest in dentistry. She also
volunteered at the dental school.
Finally, she applied and was accepted into the University
of Florida School of Dentistry. During the first two years, she was one of 83
students who spent time in the classroom and labs. Studying was demanding and
took most of her time. It was during the third and fourth years that she started
seeing patients.
“The whole time I was in dental school, it was
really tough, but worth every minute.”
Dr. Milles is engaged and is planning a March 9th
wedding. She met her fiancé, Robert, during the first year of dental school.
Robert is also a dentist.
In her spare time, Dr. Milles enjoys running,
sewing and her two dogs, a toy poodle named Baby Girl and Penny, a lab mix. And
of course, she’s a Gator fan.
Dr. Milles will be seeing patients on Wednesdays
from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and on Fridays from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Does she miss the college experience?
“I’ll miss those Gator season tickets I held for
eight years!”
After completing 8 years of college, Dr. Milles is
glad to be back home and practicing in Jacksonville.
