Meet the Dental Experts at Crescent Dental Orlando

Dr. Ameer Zufari graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2006 and attended Temple University in Philadelphia for clinical training. Upon completion, he furthered his studies in Temple’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry program. Dr. Zufari has been practicing in Central Florida since 2011 and loves the area, from the Orlando Magic to Park Avenue to the restaurants and attractions on I-Drive.

I relocated from Lepanto, AR during my childhood and consider Central Florida my hometown. I am married to my teenage sweetheart and have four children and two grandchildren. 40 years in the dental industry has brought me joy in meeting numerous patients and witnessing technological advancements in patient care. I enjoy gardening with my Mom, family gatherings and singing on our church's worship team. My favorite movies are Pretty Woman and The Proposal, I guess I'm a romantic at heart. 🩷

Hello, my name is Maria, and I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I bring over 17 years of experience in the dental field, where I’ve worked in various roles. I’d describe myself as a free spirit who loves to smile. If I had to sum myself up in one word, it would be “unique.” I’m passionate, silly, adventurous, and spontaneous. I enjoy doing and saying silly things, dancing, going to the movies, and spending quality time with my family. Family is my world—I’m blessed with five kids and four grandkids. My favorite activity in the office is giving Dr. Zufari more white hair. My favorite activity in the office is giving Dr. Zufari more white hair.
