Dr. Zamir, DMD, dentist at Thornwood Family Dental
Meet your dentist

The neighbor behind your healthiest smile

Dr. Zamir grew up in Schaumburg, just a short drive from our office. Dental school and a hospital residency took her across the Midwest, and then she came home to care for the community she knows best.

Her care starts with listening. She wants to understand what is bothering you, what you are hoping for, and what makes sense for your life and your budget. Every option gets explained in plain language, and nothing moves forward until you feel good about the plan. Outside the office you will find her traveling, tending her garden, and practicing her Spanish. She speaks fluent English and Urdu.
