About
Dr. Arman Kalamkarian grew up in Fresno, California, watching his father practice medicine with compassion and genuine dedication to patients. That example shaped his path early. He earned his Bachelor of Science from California State University, Fresno, then went on to complete his medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine. His Internal Medicine residency followed at the University of California, Riverside. After residency, he worked as a hospitalist in Fresno before choosing to focus exclusively on primary and preventative care.
Dr. Kalamkarian holds board certification in Internal Medicine and limits his clinical scope to adult patients 18 and older. He is passionate about preventative medicine, chronic disease management, and the role of nutrition in long-term health. Whole food plant-based medicine draws particular interest, and he brings that perspective into counseling on weight, diet, and lifestyle. Outside the clinic, he spends time with his wife and three children, enjoys wakeboarding, and cooks Armenian, Middle Eastern, and BBQ dishes.
