Meet Dr. Twyla Roberts, DMD
I am grateful to be able to do something for a living that makes people healthier and smile brighter. I love seeing our established patients, meeting new patients, and helping them love their smile! Working with all of the different patients we serve makes each day something to look forward to. I love hearing about what has been going on in their lives and those of their families.
One of the most rewarding things I have the opportunity to do is to help patients with dental anxieties overcome their fears so they can get the treatment they have previously put off or ignored. I am honest with them, listen to their concerns and help them prioritize their dental needs to get them back on track. You can see a change begin to occur right away and they start to look forward to seeing us as much as we look forward to seeing them.
I am lucky to work with such a positive and upbeat staff! All of my team members are dedicated, skilled and compassionate, while providing the highest standard of dental care. Our patients look forward to coming to our office for their appointments simply because they know that we strive to make dental treatment relaxing and fun.
I hope we have the opportunity to care for your smile!
Sincerely,
Dr. Twyla Roberts

Dr. Mina Sherazee, DMD
I was born and raised in the Bay Area in California. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, I matriculated into dental school at Roseman College of Dental Medicine in Utah. I spent many years back in California and made the move to Gainesville due to my husband being in the medical field.
My ultimate goal is to listen to patient concerns and devise an optimal treatment plan that best fits the patient. I am aware of how common it is to have anxiety at the dentist and I strive to alleviate that fear.
Growing up, I loved going to the dentist and felt like it was visiting an old friend. This is what I now aim to do for all of my patients.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, especially my twin sister (who is also a dentist)! I have run several half marathons and love cycling.

Dr. Carol Fiola, DMD
I became a dentist first and foremost because I love helping people! When I was 8 years old, I fell off the merry-go-round and fractured my front tooth. To this day I remember my family dentist and how comfortable he made me feel when I thought I would be without a front tooth forever! I love getting to know people, and helping them make informed decisions about their dental health. It has been one of my greatest joys seeing the transformations that restorative dental care can give to patients. I am committed to providing my community with the highest standard of dentistry, and look forward to getting to know each individual and what motivates them.
