Hi! My name is Dr. Hermineh Karamanian. I am a dentist and I wanted to introduce myself to you. I am a graduate of USC Dental School and have had a lifelong dream of establishing a dental practice. Well, my dream has truly become true, because now I have one – and a dream practice it is! The name of my practice is Encino Friendly Dental Center and it is conveniently located in West Valley Medical Center. I strive to provide a friendly, kind and comfortable atmosphere for all my patients.

I hired a team of the dental industry’s top professionals to help me create my office with one goal in mind: to serve you! They all did a great job and I am very proud of my new office. We have acquired all the latest technology to maximize my patients’ comfort and treatment quality. We use digital x-rays; DVD based patient education systems and the finest sterilization equipment available today to ensure your safety.

To make your dental visits as convenient as possible, I decided to make Encino Friendly Dental Center a full-service dental office. We offer cleaning, general dentistry for the whole family, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics. In addition, West Valley Medical Center has some of the finest medical and dental specialists in the Valley, all ready to serve you should you need their care.

On a personal note, I am happily married and have a beautiful 7 month old son. In my spare time I enjoy studying and reading about my profession, spending time with my family and watching sports. My husband, who is also my office manager, coaches a soccer team and we both enjoy going to college football games. As a mother, I also happen to be very much against illegal drug use and keep drug education materials available in my office at all times. It is my personal goal to help steer children away from drugs and TV and into sports and better education.

I hope to see you soon!
