- Welcome to Blooming Smiles
Dr. Hormoz Golian grew up in southern California. Following a desire to work in the healthcare profession, he pursued a career in dentistry. Dr. Golian graduated in 2001 from Cal State University Fullerton with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and in 2005 he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. Following dental school, he completed a two-year residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, earning a specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Golian is a board certified pediatric dentist.
Dr. Golian is committed to providing superior dental care by staying up-to-date with the latest advances and techniques in pediatric dentistry. He is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association.
Currently, Dr. Golian resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Natasha, who is a periodontist in Simi Valley. Dr. Golian enjoys playing racquetball, biking and water sports during his time outside the office.
Dr. Hormoz Golian is a board-certified pediatric dentist who has cared for children throughout Northridge, Woodland Hills, and the greater San Fernando Valley for over [CONFIRM: exact years in practice — appears to be since ~2007 based on residency completion]. He co-founded Blooming Smiles with Dr. Payam Sanjideh and has built the practice around a simple standard: every child should leave the dentist's chair more comfortable than when they arrived.
Dr. Golian grew up in Southern California and pursued dentistry out of a long-standing interest in healthcare. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Cal State University Fullerton in 2001, then received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in 2005. Following dental school, he completed a two-year pediatric residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, earning his specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry — training that focused specifically on treating infants, children, and adolescents with special healthcare needs, complex medical histories, and dental anxiety.
Dr. Golian is a board-certified pediatric dentist, credentialed through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD) — a distinction that requires additional written and oral examination beyond dental school and residency, and that fewer than a third of practicing pediatric dentists hold. He is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the California Dental Association, and stays current on pediatric dental research and technique through ongoing continuing education.
Dr. Golian's approach centers on building trust before doing treatment. New patients — especially toddlers and children visiting the dentist for the first time — are walked through each step in age-appropriate language before anything touches their mouth. For families in Northridge and Woodland Hills managing a child with dental anxiety, a complex medical history, or a first-ever dental visit, this pacing is often the difference between a child who dreads the dentist and one who looks forward to going back.
