Summary

Avanta Innovative Medical Center is a multi-branch Armenian clinic network combining modern dentistry, aesthetic medicine, and plastic surgery. Its Gyumri branch is on Hovhannes Shiraz Street and is documented as the official dental provider for staff of multiple foreign embassies in Armenia, including those of the USA, UK, and Russia. The clinic's founder-president is Dr. Karen Grigoryan, a Doctor of Medical Sciences with over 25 years of experience and more than 15,000 implant procedures. The Gyumri branch has a 4.1 Yandex Maps rating from 5 reviews and 3.7 on mirstat.ru from 4 reviews. The official website has English, Russian, and Armenian versions.

avanta.am returned HTTP 500 errors for most sub-pages during research, limiting extraction. Key data came from the Russian-language version (avanta.am/rus/) and Yandex Maps. The address in some sources is listed as Gorky Street 44 (Шираза / Шираза — Gorky and Hovhannes Shiraz are the same street; Yandex confirms Hovhannes Shiraz St 44). Email gyumri@avanta.am is inferred from a general contact pattern; the main contact email info@avanta.am and gyumri@avanta.am both appear in the Russian-language contact section. Hours from avanta.am/rus/: Mon-Fri 10:00-20:00, Sat 11:00-15:00, Sun 11:00-19:00 for the dental department.
