I thank all my advertisers who have been there through the years, but need to spotlight a select few partners.

Frank has been another mainstay partner throughout the years. We feature Dr. Frank annually on our cover, as he continues to be on the forefront of technology available in his field. I appreciate the beautiful smiles he’s created for my two children, and am thankful to Mogavero Orthodontics for their ongoing support. Remember... Sync your Smile with your Lifestyle.

Over a decade ago I introduced myself to Kim at Triton Air. I had seen their trucks throughout San Clemente, and was so impressed with the business she and Mike were building. Their mission as a hard-working, family company that supported local businesses and non-profits was obvious. I’m thrilled to have Triton Air as a partner, and look forward to our future together.

When I walked into Skip’s original store on PCH in Dana Point, where Hobie Surf is now located, he was already a veteran in the home entertainment industry. Back in 2007, he was selling televisions, stereo equipment and home audio systems. A year later, he relocated to a huge space in San Juan Capistrano, just as the recession began. He survived through those tough times, as he recreated ReelTime into a technology-driven home networking, audio and visual company. Thanks Skip for your partnership.

Thanks for supporting our partners, and as always, thanks for reading The Local DISH!

Nina & JJ Mamie – SWISS CONNECTION & JEAN-JAQUES MAMIE I was referred to Nina and JJ through an advertiser. We discovered our kids were both attending St. Anne, and she was interested in promoting her Swiss Connection store in Ocean Ranch and Jean-Jaques Mamie inside the original St. Regis. Everyone in town seems to know Nina and Jean-Jacque, an expert Swiss jeweler. Thank you for your beautiful ads and your business all these years.

In the Summer of 2007, my friend suggested I speak with Chris who had this pet business back in Talega. I didn’t know dog lovers were dropping their pets off for “Doggy day-care?” Who knew? Chris had just opened in 2005, and added a second location in Lake Forest a few years later. I’ve watched Chris battle through the recession years and COVID, as she persevered and her business continued to thrive, delivering a safe, fun and loving environment to their furry clients and adoring doggy-parents. Thank you Chris for all your support!

September marks a momentous occasion for The Local DISH Magazine as we celebrate our 15th Anniversary with this issue. I can hardly believe that so many years have passed since I launched my publication. I recall that evening in the middle of July, 2007, when I returned from LA with a mock magazine in-hand and hit the streets to introduce myself and my new direct-mail publication to local business owners. My mission then, which continues to this day, is to help locally owned and operated businesses increase their awareness and drive revenue. Apparently it worked as The Local DISH Magazine continues to be the longest running, monthly magazine serving the homeowners and businesses in our coastal communities.

I take pride in working with wonderful business owners. Dennis’ tucked-away furniture showroom off the 5 in San Juan Capistrano needed help directing people to his amazing store. We were able to introduce his business to all our loyal readers. Clients rave about working with Dennis. His friendly disposition, honesty and quality furniture are unsurpassed. I was happy to feature Dennis on our cover several times, and I’m thankful for his business relationship, and more importantly, his friendship.

I’ve been fortunate to assemble an amazing team over the years. Starting out with my wife Kristin’s encouragement and editorial skills, along with a skeleton crew, we began our journey. The key to elevating our publication to the next level is when we brought on Kim Lalla, my Art Director in May 2009. Kim’s design abilities, organization, patience and ability to simply “deal with me” is paramount to our success. Our advertisers love working with her, and I’m so privileged and grateful to have her on our team.

Dr. Jeffrey Barrera launched Sendero Dental Studio in Rancho Mission Viejo as an intimate alternative to his exist ing Rancho Santa Margarita office, a large and very busy location that’s tidied up the teeth of hundreds of local families for decades. While both sites boast state-of-the-art dental equipment, the latest treat ments and a knowledgeable staff, the new studio was designed for maximum re laxation and comfort. Sendero’s minimalist dé cor, in neutral shades of white and grey, feels less like a scene for a root canal and more like the lobby of a luxury retreat.

“...WE BUILD SOMETHINGTHAT'SRELATIONSHIPSTRUSTINGTHATLASTALIFETIME,WHAT'SMOSTREWARDINGTOME"—DR.BARRERATOSMILE

ABOUT | 949.371.8533 | SenderoDental.com

“We love the weather and proximity to the beach, too!” Since moving here, the Kislings enjoy spending days at the beach with their puppy, Peanut. They’re passionate about traveling around the world, and in winter, they plan to enjoy as many western ski resorts as possible.

Dr. Barrera’s friendly and convenient practice val ues a patient’s time and his team ensures you're in and out as efficiently as possible…with a smile. Dozens of 5-star Yelp and Google reviews offer testament to the exceptional level of care. One reviewer wrote, “Dr. Barrera and his staff at Sendero Dental are awesome. It had been a

With iTero, Dr. Barrera has the capability to show you the interior of your mouth and the position ing of teeth, essentially in real time. The technol ogy allows practitioners to treat patients more precisely and provides before-and-after video simulation of how corrective measures would improve the health of your teeth. Patients love the scan because it saves them time, but dentists love iTero's ability to detect decay, minute chips in teeth, and gum recession. It also enables the office to maintain a chrono logical record of your oral health as a companion view to traditional x-rays.

That's all part of the Dr. Barrera experience: a prompt, professional appointment with cheerful service and an honest assessment. If you’re in good oral health and no extra work is needed, that's what you'll hear. Or, as Dr. Barrera says, "We call it like it is!"

Dr. Barrera approaches every pa tient as a member of the family, as does Dr. Tyler Kisling, who recently joined the Sendero Dental Stu dio. Hailing from Fresno, Dr. Kisling brings eight years of experience and a fresh perspective. After particu larly work-intensive treatments, he's known for calling patients at the end of the day to check in. "Dr. Kisling and I are on the same page," Dr. Barrera says. For some, visiting a dentist, no matter how se rene the atmosphere, generates feelings of ap prehension. That's why both offices are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to deliver the best possible outcomes with the least amount of discomfort. Remember "impressions" created with unpalatable trays of green, goopy material? Well, you won’t find those at Dr. Barrera’s offices.

He uses iTero, a laser scanner that creates a virtual model of your teeth in just five minutes, expedit ing the treatment process. If a crown is required, the fabrication time is reduced from more than two weeks to a mere three to five days.

Technology aside, Dr. Barrera knows that superi or care and personal interactions make a dentist visit successful, not the equipment. "If we build trusting relationships that last a lifetime, that's what's most rewarding to me," he says. If you're looking for a new dentist to care for your entire family, a second opinion, or referral, schedule a consultation at 949.371.8533.

DR. TYLER KISLING joined Sendero Dental Studio in 2021. Born and raised in Fresno, he brings eight years of expe rience and a love for the growing com munity of Rancho Mission Viejo. He says Dr. Barrera and his team provide fantas tic patient care, and he’s thrilled to not only work alongside Dr. Barrera, but also learn from him. The office location? He says it couldn’t be better, because Dr. Kisling’s wife, Dr. Ashley Kisling, has a pediatric orth odontic office in the building next door!

Ali shared a recent story when a 92-year-old gentleman walked in with a box of coins. The customer asked Ali what he would give him for his junk silver. As the senior tossed the coins down on the table, Ali politely suggested he may want to be careful with his collection. Ali inspected the coins, and explained that each piece was worth $1,000, and they definitely weren’t junk silver. The customer stated he had shown the coins to three other shops who offered him $20 per coin. Ali discovered that this savvy gentleman was evaluating the integrity of the other coin store owners. He knew the value of his silver and was testing Ali, who he proceeded to do business with that day. Ali said unfortunately some of his com petitors try to take advantage of the elderly. “I didn’t open my store here in Capo Beach to be dishonest with my clientele. I really do care. My dad is 92. These seniors worked hard to earn and invest in their coins. They deserve to be honestly compensated for their col lections,” he added. Whether you’d like to start your child with collecting Disneyland and kid-fo cused coins, or you’d like a private ap pointment to have your family’s estate jewelry or coin collection appraised, the professionals at Royal Gold Group can assist. Ali summed up our conver sation, “We are here to stay. That’s our goal and business model!” FREE 1 OZ SILVER $1,500 or more.

As Summer arrived in June, Ali Soltani proudly opened up his newest store in Capo Beach on Doheny Park Road. Taking his passion for collecting coins, which started when he was a six-year-old boy, Ali opened his first store in Tustin several years ago. Fol lowing in his father’s footsteps, when the opportunity arose for Royal Gold Group to relocate to our coastal community, Ali jumped at the chance. “I was looking for a larger space and I love the beach,’’ says Ali. Word of mouth is spreading quickly. He has been so grateful to his new clien tele who are sharing their positive experiences working with Ali. Royal Gold Group appraises not only coins, but precious metals, estate jewelry and of fers a selection of beautiful new jewelry to their customers.
