Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

An active member of his community, Dr. Deirmenjian truly enjoys helping the less fortunate and volunteering when he can with food drives and community outreach initiatives. Previously, he has participated in pro bono work for human trafficking victims in the Los Angeles area. He was also involved in a health fair head-start program, senior citizens program, and maintained an affiliation with Veteran Affairs.

In his spare time, he enjoys the outdoors. He is fluent in English, Armenian, Spanish, and French.

Dr. Lisa Beckley

General Associate Dentist

Dr. Lisa Beckley was born at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada. Being the daughter of an enlistee in the United States Air Force, she traveled throughout her life—living in places such as Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Germany, North Carolina, Turkey, Hawaii, and ultimately California. Upon graduating from high school, Dr. Beckley received her bachelor’s in chemistry from the University of California, Riverside before earning her doctorate of dental surgery from the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Beckley enjoys working as a dental professional, as the field has allowed her to have the flexibility of being a wife and mother for over 21 years. She has provided comprehensive dental care to many families while coaching middle school basketball and leading girl scouts when her daughters were younger. She has also loved the technicality of dentistry and the different materials that are used to achieve beautiful results. 

Another reason Dr. Beckley loves working in dentistry is interacting with patients; in fact, meeting new people is her favorite part of the job! She loves easing their dental fears and preconceived notions about dentist appointments. Overall, she enjoys creating beautiful smiles for patients and enhancing their self-esteem.

In private practice for 17 years, Dr. Beckley finally made the decision to sell her practice and join our team. As a long-time member of the community, she knows all the families and their children who have grown up here. Her daughters went to elementary and middle school here, and her church is just up the street. Overall, working at Elite Dental Associates has given her the ability to change roles but continue to serve the community she has been committed to here in Redlands for over 20 years. 

Her family includes her husband, Michael, her three daughters, and their dog—Peanut. Outside the office, Dr. Beckley enjoys riding her Peloton and walking around Redlands. She loves attending concerts with her teenage daughters and watching college football with her husband. She also enjoys completing DIY projects for her house. And of course, another favorite activity is snuggling with her dog and taking him on long morning walks.
