Meet Dr. Ani Hekimian

Dr. Ani Hekimian is a proud local - born and raised in the very community where she now cares for little smiles every day. After earning her bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from UC Irvine, she went on to receive her dental degree from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, where she discovered her passion for working with children.

With a gentle touch and a warm approach, Dr. Ani is dedicated to creating positive dental experiences for every child she meets. She believes in building trust with her patients and their families, and loves being part of a community she has known her whole life.

Dr. Ani enjoys a full and happy life with her husband, Dr. Avetis Hekimian, a cardiologist. They recently welcomed their adorable baby boy, Alexander. In her free time, she loves hosting gatherings, baking sweet treats, doing Pilates, and spending quality time with her longtime friends and close-knit family. She deeply values the relationships in her life-many of which began in childhood- and brings that same care and connection to her practice every day. Dr. Ani believes that these strong relationships are the heart of a happy life and a happy smile!
