About

Dr. Khanchalian grew up in Arcadia and decided early on that he wanted to be a dentist, due in part to the gentle dentistry of his own childhood dentist, Henry Voskian. Dr. Khanchalian went through Arcadia schools and then received his bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from the University of Southern California.He completed his doctorate in Dental Surgery, also from USC, in 1982. He first practiced in Westchester and in associateships in Arcadia and Eagle Rock before purchasing his present practice in Pasadena in 1989 from the very Dr. Voskian who was his own childhood dentist and inspiration.  Dr. Khanchalian carries on the tradition of gentle, traditional, family dentistry serving Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
