St. Petersburg, FL — With profound sadness and heavy hearts, the community of St. Petersburg mourns the unexpected passing of Dr. Amir Daoud, a highly respected dentist, visionary, and the beloved founder of Feather Sound Smiles.
Dr. Daoud was more than just a skilled clinician — he was a devoted husband, a loving father, a mentor to many, and a compassionate soul whose presence made a lasting impact on everyone who walked through the doors of his practice. His sudden departure has left a deep void not only in the hearts of his family and staff but in the entire community that he so faithfully served.
Known for his gentle touch, clinical expertise, and genuine warmth, Dr. Daoud built Feather Sound Smiles from the ground up, transforming it into a cornerstone of oral health care in the St. Petersburg area. His vision was simple yet powerful: to provide exceptional dental care with empathy, integrity, and personalized attention. That vision continues to guide the practice today.
While the loss of Dr. Daoud is immeasurable, his legacy will live on through the very practice he dedicated his life to. Feather Sound Smiles will remain fully operational, led by two of Dr. Daoud’s trusted colleagues — Dr. Aareet Sandhu and Dr. Devon Giddens — both of whom were personally trained and mentored by him. Together with a dedicated team of experienced clinicians and staff, they are committed to carrying forward his legacy of clinical excellence and heartfelt care.
In a statement from his wife, Diana Daoud, who is also a part of the Feather Sound Smiles family, she shares:
“This has been an unimaginable loss, but Amir’s heart and spirit remain with us in every smile we restore, every patient we comfort, and every life we touch. He built more than a dental practice — he built a family, and we are all devoted to continuing his life’s work.”
A video tribute from Diana is available through the Feather Sound Smiles website and social platforms, offering a heartfelt message to patients, colleagues, and friends about what Dr. Daoud meant to the practice, his family, and the future of his mission.
The outpouring of support from the community — from long-time patients to dental peers and local leaders — has been overwhelming, a testament to the incredible life Dr. Daoud lived and the love he gave so freely. The team expresses their deepest gratitude for the kind words, prayers, and patience during this time.
Funeral arrangements and opportunities to honor Dr. Daoud’s memory will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, the Feather Sound Smiles family asks for continued thoughts and prayers for the Daoud family.
Dr. Amir Daoud will be remembered as a man who brought light, laughter, and comfort to so many. His legacy lives on in every smile he helped create — and in the countless lives he touched with grace, passion, and kindness.
