Lead Clinical Specialist
About Maria
I have been in the dental field since 2006 and switched to orthodontics in February 2010 with Dr. Baker at Baker Orthodontics. When Dr. Baker retired, I stayed on with Dr. Cyrus and Dr. Neelab, and I have been here since September 2022. The atmosphere and patient care we provide are outstanding, and the comfort and feeling of family are what I love most. In orthodontics, we get to know not just the patient but the whole family, and we share plenty of good laughs when parents and siblings come back to the chair. I also had my own braces done by Dr. Baker, so I can relate to what patients are experiencing and give them first-hand advice.
I grew up in Escondido and live here now with my husband Armando and our three children, Jason, Leilani, and Jacob. My kids loved coming in for their appointments, watching the train go around the office and playing in the game room.

About Sharon
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Baker for six years until he retired in 2022, and I am very happy that Dr. Cyrus and Dr. Neelab kindly took over the practice. I feel honored to work with such accomplished and skilled doctors. We are a family here at Happier Smiles, and we work hard together to provide the best possible experience for our patients.
I have lived in San Marcos for twenty-six years. My husband Sid and I have been blessed with five kids, two sons-in-law, and a beautiful little grandchild. In my free time, I love being outside and spending time with my family, and I enjoy traveling and experiencing new things.

About Rosa
Hi, my name is Rosa. I recently joined Happier Smiles Orthodontics, and I love working with our team because we value and treat each other like family. I have been in the dental field for 10 years across many specialties, but I fell in love with orthodontics. There is something so special about meeting patients at the start of their smile journey and again at the finish line, seeing how much confidence they have gained.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time and traveling with my two daughters and my husband, and I love bringing joy into life through cooking, singing, and new experiences. I cannot wait to welcome you with open arms into our family.
