Dr. Manuel DeLeon

Dental care in Ocala’s southwest corridor tends to cluster around major thoroughfares, where routine checkups and emergency repairs keep practices steady. Among them, Dr. Manuel DeLeon operates a general dentistry office along 27th Avenue, a stretch lined with medical offices and residential pockets. The area’s mix of longtime homeowners and younger families means demand for everything from fillings to cleanings remains consistent—no frills, just the basics covered.

Reviews paint a cautious picture: a single rating on Google averages to 3.0 stars, suggesting either a quiet practice or one still building its footprint. Unlike chain clinics with polished online presences, this spot relies on word-of-mouth in a neighborhood where personal recommendations often carry more weight than star counts. The address—2415 SW 27th Ave—puts it within easy reach of both downtown workers and those coming from the sprawl of Silver Springs Shores, where dental options thin out.

Most calls here likely start with the same concerns: a chipped tooth after a weekend mishap, a child’s first cavity, or the overdue X-rays someone’s been putting off. There’s no specialty billing—just the standard scope of exams, extractions, and preventive care. For anyone mapping out the route, the office sits near the intersection with SW 24th Street, where traffic signals make turns simpler than in Ocala’s more congested strips.

Questions about availability or procedures go straight to the front desk at (352) 237-6196, though the sparse online feedback leaves little hint of what to expect beyond the basics. Directions are best pulled from Google’s map pin—because in a town where new subdivisions keep popping up, even longtime residents sometimes double-check the address.
