Experience Superior Care with Dr. Gaminchi
Dr. Gaminchi is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in medical, surgical, and aesthetic dermatology. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from UCLA in 1990, she earned her medical degree with honors from Tufts School of Medicine and completed her residency in internal medicine at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. She went on to complete her dermatology training at Loma Linda Medical Center, serving as Chief Resident during her final year while teaching and conducting dermatologic research.
In March 2000, Dr. Gaminchi opened her private practice in West Hills and continues to serve the community with the same dedication and artistry that defined her early career. As the first female Mohs surgeon in the West Valley, she has built a trusted reputation for excellence in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. Her holistic philosophy focuses on treating the whole person, designing customized plans that may include fillers, Botox, microneedling, supplements, and hormone therapy to support both skin vitality and internal balance.
Beyond her clinical expertise, Dr. Gaminchi is a respected mentor and educator, having trained numerous physician assistants and students who shadow her in practice. She is a proud member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Medical Association, and the International Society of Cosmetic Laser Surgeons, and a fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery. Her compassionate care has earned her recognition through the Patients’ Choice Award (2010) and Compassionate Doctor Award (2009).
Outside of medicine, Dr. Gaminchi enjoys spending time with her two daughters, Sophia and Soraya, and can often be found hiking, traveling, reading, or cooking Persian cuisine for her loved ones.
