Meet Our Associate Doctors
Padideh Nazarian Shani, DDS - Pediatric Dentist
Born and raised in LA, I spent nearly a decade at USC, proudly earning the title of a triple Trojan with a deep commitment to the "Fight On!" spirit. When I am not working as a pediatric dentist, you'll likely find me exploring the culinary wonders of LA with my husband. We're avid travelers and food enthusiasts, always on the hunt for hidden gems and local delicacies wherever our adventures take us. Our shared passion for discovering new flavors has led us to countless little coffee shops scattered across the city, where we indulge in our favorite ritual—sampling their most famous iced coffees (yes, I'm an iced coffee fanatic no matter the weather!)
Hayley Botwin, DDS - Pediatric Dentist
I was born and raised in Southern California along with my three brothers. My drive for adventure led me to move across the country for college where I earned my first Bachelor’s degree at Boston University while also enjoying two semesters abroad, one in Spain and another in Australia. Upon graduating, I accepted a position as Camp Director at a residential summer camp for kids, in the foothills of the Sequoias. I returned to the LA area to begin my dental school journey and earned my second Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. I then continued on at USC and earned my DDS degree while also working part-time as a dental hygienist. Combining my love for dentistry with my passion for working with children, I completed advanced specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at USC.
In my free time, I love to hike with my rescue dog, Bronx. I love to travel leisurely and also to volunteer and provide dental services to underserved children. Nothing makes me happier than being an auntie and spending time with my nieces and nephew.
