Victor
Treatment Coordinator/Front Office

Hi, I’m Victor, a Treatment Coordinator and part of the Front Office team at San Diego Smile Center. I’ve been in this role for about two years, and I really enjoy helping patients feel confident and cared for from the moment they walk in. I love building strong relationships and being that bridge between the doctor and our patients to make sure everything feels smooth and comfortable. I’m originally from Tijuana, Mexico, and one of my favorite parts about working here is being part of a supportive team while making a positive impact by helping patients reach their smile goals. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at Dog Beach, watching baseball, attending charity events for Shriners Hospitals, or spending time with my three English bulldogs- Pepe, Canela, and Tyson.

Mark
Registered Dental Assistant

Hi, I’m Mark, a Registered Dental Assistant at San Diego Smile Center with six years of experience in dentistry. I’m really passionate about helping patients feel comfortable, especially if they come in nervous - and I love seeing them leave happy and confident after their treatment. I was born and raised in San Diego, and one of the things I enjoy most about working here is being part of a supportive team that truly cares about patient care and creating a positive experience for everyone who walks through the door. Outside of work, I like spending time with my kids, staying active, and enjoying everything San Diego has to offer. I’m into fitness, outdoor activities, and visiting wineries, and I’m also a big sports fan - always cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Francisco 49ers. At home, I’ve got two cats: Sunny, an orange tabby, and Luna, a black tuxedo cat, and they definitely keep things interesting.

Kimberly
Dental Assistant

Hi, I’m Kimberly, a Dental Assistant at San Diego Smile Center with six years of experience. I love helping patients feel comfortable - especially those who come in nervous or have had bad past experiences - by making sure they feel safe and not scared during their visit. I also really enjoy working with Dr. Cortes, who is not only a great boss but an amazing educator that uses the latest technology to provide the best care. I was born and raised in San Diego, and outside of work I love spending time with my daughter and my mom, trying new foods (hot pot is our favorite right now!), and reading scary books or watching horror movies. I have three pets I adore! Maya, my 16-year-old Doberman, Sally, my poodle mix I adopted from a shelter, and Salem, my black kitten. The best part of my job is seeing patients leave happy and confident, especially when they tell me “I can smile again” it’s the best feeling ever! A fun fact about me is that I love tattoos and piercings.

Gerlyn
Treatment Coordinator

Hi, I’m Gerlyn, a Treatment Coordinator at San Diego Smile Center with three years of experience in dentistry. What I enjoy most is building relationships with patients and making sure they feel comfortable and truly cared for throughout their visit. I love working here because of my coworkers - they’re kind, caring, fun, and supportive - and being part of a team that shares the same passion makes my job incredibly rewarding. I’m originally from LA, and outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active with hiking, running, and track, going car racing (both indoor and outdoor), and shopping. I’m also currently learning how to play the guitar. My favorite part about helping patients is seeing them happy and the confidence their smile gives them. I’m also an aspiring dental hygienist student and excited to continue growing in the dental field.
