Office Manager

I make sure all the administrative aspects of our office run smoothly and efficiently, including our accounts receivable and appointment schedule. Creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for our patients to enjoy is one of my top priorities. Surfside Dental combines a relaxed atmosphere with excellent service; it is a pleasant place to be and I look forward to coming in the office each morning.

Wendy

Dental Assistant

I began my career assisting in 1975 with my father, who was a dentist. I have always enjoyed helping people and appreciate the opportunity to learn new and interesting things every day. I am the proud mother of seven children and six grandchildren. I’ve been married for 31 years — one of my greatest accomplishments! I enjoy singing in a quartet and in a band in my spare time.

 

Christie

Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Northern Arizona University in 2012. I've worked at Surfside Dental since 2013. I'm a North County native! Any chance I get, I enjoy traveling. Recently, I've begun doing dental medical missions trips. I became a Dental Hygienist for the joy of seeing someone's smile transform and to build relationships with my patients!

 

Damaris

Registered Dental Hygienist

Growing up in Rockland County, New York, I've always enjoyed making people smile. I completed my Dental Hygiene studies at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey in 2015. I practiced as a Dental Hygienist in New York and New Jersey for two years before relocating to San Diego. I initially moved due to  my husband's former career in the U.S. Marine Corps; however, we decided to become permanent residents after falling in love with San Diego's serene atmosphere, lifestyle, and sunshine! My goal is to provide patients with exceptional care in a comfortable and professional environment. Outside of work, I enjoy going on spontaneous adventures, mountain biking, working out, cooking, attending concerts, and hangin' out with my miniature Australian shepherd named Jasper!
 
 

Dalton

Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated from West Coast University in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene. I have worked in various settings in my career thus far and I am very fortunate to be a part of the Surfside Dental team. I admire Dr. McMahan's passion for dentistry and the quality of service he provides to every one of his patients. This admiration has encouraged me to provide the same quality of dental hygiene treatment to each of my patients.
