Nilda Martinez
Office Manager
I currently serve as the Office Manager and Front Desk Coordinator at Ocean View Dental Care, bringing over 18 years of experience in the dental field. I take pride in creating a welcoming, organized environment for both our patients and team. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is helping patients understand their dental benefits and supporting them in making confident, informed decisions about their oral health.
I’m passionate about providing exceptional service and building strong, trusting relationships with everyone who walks through our doors. What I love most about Ocean View Dental Care is the family-like atmosphere—we genuinely care for one another, and that sense of connection extends to our patients. Working alongside Dr. Wallace and offering the highest quality dental care is truly an honor.
When I'm not at Ocean View Dental Care, I love spending quality time with my family and enjoying the beautiful beaches of Orange County. Whether it's a day in the sun or a quiet evening together, I truly value the moments shared with my loved ones.
Sandra Martinez
Front Office Liaison/Back Office Assistant
I’ve been working in the dental field for three years and am cross-trained as both a Front Office Liaison and Back Office Dental Assistant. This dual role allows me to support patients throughout their entire visit—from scheduling to chairside care—which is something I truly enjoy.
What I love most about working at Ocean View Dental Care is the opportunity to help patients improve their dental health. It’s incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive, positive team that makes every day meaningful.
Outside of work, I enjoy photography, exploring the beauty of nature, and spending quality time with my family.
Geni Mahjoub
Registered Dental Assistant
I’m a graduate of Bryman Dental Assisting School and have spent many fulfilling years in the dental field. My experience includes two years teaching dental assisting, two decades working in a prosthodontic office, and hands-on expertise in dental lab work, implants, and oral surgery.
I truly enjoy being part of the team at Ocean View Dental Care. Working with Dr. Wallace—one of the best in the field—and our amazing staff makes every day rewarding.
Outside of work, I love traveling, horseback riding, playing the drums, relaxing at the beach, and spending quality time with my children and grandchildren.
Annette Williams
Registered Dental Hygienist
My academic journey began in Napa Valley, California, at Pacific Union College, where I double-majored in Science and Violin Performance. I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Loma Linda University and have since found great fulfillment in combining my passion for patient care with a side career as a private music teacher for both piano and violin.
I’m a proud member of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and have pursued additional training in communication, character, and leadership through the Klemmer Institute—skills that have enhanced my ability to work effectively with both patients and dental teams. Over the years, I’ve gained diverse experience in specialty settings, including periodontics, pediatrics, and concierge-style care for the elderly.
I’m grateful to work alongside Dr. John Wallace, where I’m empowered to care for patients with the same compassion, ethics, and professionalism I would hope to receive myself.
Outside of dentistry, my interests are as varied as my career path. I enjoy everything from beach days and snow skiing to opera nights, horseback riding, and treasure hunting. I also cherish time with my grandchildren, playing violin and the occasional fiddle, exploring theology, and supporting nonprofit organizations like Casa Romantica, Horse Therapy for children, and local art fairs.
Aimee Gutierrez
Registered Dental Hygienist
I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist at Ocean View Dental Care, bringing over 10 years of experience in the dental field. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from West Coast University and hold several certifications, including soft tissue management with laser therapy.
What I love most about working at Ocean View Dental Care is the truly family-oriented atmosphere—it allows me to be a mom first and a hygienist second.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me spending quality time with my family. Most weekends, I’m either coaching my kids’ T-ball team with my husband or relaxing at home and enjoying some downtime.
Kathleen Reed
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have over two decades of experience as a dental hygienist and have been a proud member of the Ocean View Dental Care team since 2017. I earned both my B.S. and M.A. from the University of Rhode Island and have completed extensive post-graduate training in airway health. I'm certified as a Myofunctional Therapist (AOMT-C), Sleep & Recovery Coach, and Buteyko Breathing Educator.
At Ocean View Dental Care, I’ve had the opportunity to help develop our airway health and awareness initiatives and played a key role in launching our sleep-disordered breathing screening and referral protocols. I love working with Dr. Wallace and feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a team that truly feels like family. It’s a privilege to care for and connect with so many wonderful patients in our community.
Originally from the East Coast, I’m still in awe of California’s stunning natural beauty. I find deep joy and freedom exploring the backcountry and coastline with my family in our sprinter van.
Cathy Clark
Registered Dental Hygienist
I earned my Bachelor of Science from Loma Linda University and brought many years of experience to the team at Ocean View Dental Care. It’s a joy to work alongside Dr. Wallace and such a kind, talented group of professionals—this office truly feels like family.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through weight training, long walks on the beach, and biking with my husband. When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find me with a good book or painting with watercolors. But my greatest joy of all is being “Grammy” to my wonderful grandchildren.
Helping patients feel comfortable and leaving with brighter smiles is the most rewarding part of what I do.
