Hi, my name is Artemis and I have had the privilege of being a part of the Warner Center Dental family since 2011. I received my Bachelor's in Dental Hygiene from USC in 2001 and was honored to receive the professionalism award from my classmates.

I'm a firm believer in preventive dentistry so I work with my patients in improving oral hygiene home care and delivering the best service I can to achieve the highest standards in dental care.

I have a supportive and wonderful husband and two fantastic girls. I enjoy the outdoors and traveling. I'm looking forward to meeting you and developing a productive partnership.

I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, where I graduated from college with a degree in Biology. My first job was a high school biology teacher which gave me much joy. I enjoyed teaching, sharing knowledge, and stimulating young minds to think and analyze rather than memorize. What I miss most about Iran were the times I spent skiing on the many tall mountains in Northern Tehran.

When I came to the U.S. in 1996, somehow by mere coincidence, I began working part-time at a dental office, and serendipitously realized that the work suited me very well. Passionately, I enrolled in the highly competitive curriculum of Dental Hygiene at West Los Angeles College and four years later emerged as a Registered Dental Hygienist. During this time period of my life, I also met my wonderful husband and we have a precious son together.

Shortly thereafter, in 2005, I joined the Dental Hygiene staff at Warner Center Dental Group which has been the most pleasant working environment of my life. Working for Warner Center Dental and Dr. Kleiger is an amazing experience and I look forward to work every day. I truly enjoy providing oral hygiene instructions and advice to patients and observing the positive results.

Right now, I am at the best place I can ever be with my family and career. Life is precious, beautiful, and demands enjoyment every second of each day. The best feeling of all, however, is knowing that my life is perfect as it is now, and I enjoy working at a dental office which will be my last place of employment before retirement. By the way, skiing is still my favorite pass time activity here in California!

Hi everyone! I’m Jodi Ann Greene. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Foreign Language from CSUN and then my Degree in Dental Hygiene from West Los Angeles College. I’m proud to say that I have been practicing since 1989 and still love what I do.

I treat my family like friends and my friends like family, so I enjoy spending my free time with both. I love going to the movies, being with friends and eating even better! I adore my black Lab “Vinnie”. He even gets his teeth cleaned every few months!
