In addition, he is a diplomate of the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology and a fellow of the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. In a leadership role, he has served as the former president of the Contra Costa Dental Society and the Sadi Fontaine Academy.He is one of the few surgeons trained in the placement of zygomatic implants.

Elaina
FAADOM, Practice Administrator and Study Club Coordinator
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Alijanian since 2005. I began as a certified surgical assistant and quickly found myself cross-trained in both the back and front office. Now as our practice administrator, I am fulfilling my passion for improving patient’s dental health through personalized care and education. In 2016, I became a fellow of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, which is the nation’s largest educational and networking association dedicated to serving dental practice management professionals. I feel privileged to be a part of such an amazing office that strives to provide patients with the best surgical care possible and with a doctor who continues to motivate and support our team.
When I am not in the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and our two children, taking trips, camping, or helping coach my son’s baseball and daughter’s softball teams.
