Care Philosophy
I seek to treat others with what I consider to be an even better version of the golden rule- Treat others as THEY want to be treated! When patients come to see me, I will address their chief concern first and foremost. I LISTEN to what they say. If they would like me to assess their dental health comprehensively, we complete a thorough exam, after which I explain in plain terms what is going on, and what can be done about it. I hate being "sold" to, and I make sure to never do that to my patient-family (yes, I treat my patients like family!). I like people a lot, and when I meet my new patients, I am most happy when they decide they want me to be their dentist for life! I then make sure that I treat them right, do the best work for them, with utmost care for pain control (ask any of my patients about my injections!) and fairness. Especially as I will be in Ocala for the rest of my career and I do care about my reputation, I will never cut a corner or accept anything less than the best.
Biography
I was born and raised in London, England, and moved to Florida in 9th grade. My dad is a dentist, and we practically grew up in a dental office. In high school I realized that I wanted to follow in his footsteps, so I volunteered after school for many months in a dental laboratory so I could learn about dentistry. My brother and I always have worked with our hands- we are both proficient guitarists who initially wanted to be rock stars! After allowing my dreams of rock stardom to subside, I was accepted to the University of Florida College of Dentistry's early admissions program (I did my dental school interview at 16 years old!), and upon graduation decided I wanted to stay in this area. After working with a part-time professor for my first job, I began working in Ocala in 2004, and am now opening my own practice. My twin brother, Dr. Jamie Amir is a periodontist (gum disease and implant specialist) and opened his own office in 2015. I am thrilled to reside in this great community with my lovely wife Adela and son Tristan.

Dr. Amir was able to fit me in for an emergency temporary partial after an unplanned extraction while visiting Florida! He and the staff were wonderful and very professional. He made every effort to ensure I liked the appearance of my temporary teeth. Plus they were very patient with me and dealing with my anxiety level!

-Chase Nawrocki in Ocala, FL | Dec 06, 2016
He is fantastic. I am very comfortable around him. I also enjoy the fact he EXPLAINS what hes doing and why hes doing it. He is very easy to talk and listens. He is also gentle because I have never felt any pain - and that says a lot because I have sensitive teeth. And he only does necessary work - not extra to just get money from insurance.
So far, he has put 3 crowns on & replaced all metal fillings. His office is also neat and comfortable - you dont feel like youre in a waiting room.

Dr. Simon Amir is amazing. I have worked in the dental field for the past 15 years and have worked beside many dentists. If someone asks me for a recommendation .....he's my number one choice. He is the most gentle and caring dentist you will meet and not to mention his exceptional dental work. He has worked on me personally and my family and there's no doubt, he is genuine!! Trust me, you will love him too!!

-Cindy Johns Emonn in Ocala, FL | Jul 28, 2016
Dr.Amir is one of the nicest and gentle dentists ever. I was extremely scared of going in to get some work done, and when he numbed me I didn't feel anything. He was so gentle and made sure I was comfortable in his chair. He even called me after hours to see how I was doing! I would highly recommend him to anyone!!! The BEST dentist ever!!!!!!!!

I was recommended Dr. Amir by a co-worker and friend, however my experience just to schedule was a turn off. First impression are vital in a business. When your receptionist can recommend that you find another dentist chances are you have the wrong place.

Unfortunately this was at the corporate practice I used to work at. I'm sorry it was a poor experience.

I really appreciated the friendliness of everyone in the office. Dr. Simon was extremely personable and was great about explaining what he was going to do beforehand. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the visit, and I felt very well looked-after. I sent my husband in as well, and recommend him to all of our friends!
