• All Day Play, Snooze the Night Away®

Halloween is near and the antics are brewing. Just the other day I spied my 7-year old terrorizing his much younger sister with a trick-or-treat mask from the past. These shenanigans must be a hallowed rite of passage as I recall my older brother serving up a similar dose of torment to me as a boy. Although I instinctively knew it was my brother's flesh and blood underneath that spooky, contorted rubber clown mask chasing me through the house, it was nonetheless a frightful experience that haunted me often. My mom’s blasé over-the-shoulder, “Please don’t scare your little brother,” remark as she casually unloaded the groceries wasn't exactly the comforting reassurance I needed to restore my 10-year-old (ok...so, I was a little sensitive) confidence. For your guide to less frightful Halloween fun, check out our calendar of events on pages 40-41.

Our October issue spotlights a variety of doctors throughout the south Orange County area.

Providing specialty care in Optometry and Orthodontics to Podiatry and Pediatrics, you'll find a wealth of information at your fingertips. Whether you're searching for just the right dentist to offer a gentle touch during your child's first exam or you're in need of a veterinarian to care for your beloved four-legged friend, this resource will introduce or reacquaint you with a variety of medical professionals, right in your own backyard.

This month's cover features age-fighting phenom Nancy Pelligrino. As a leader in her industry, Nancy has earned a loyal following of devoted patients at her Newport Beach skin care practice, NP Aesthetics, Inc. Delivering "happy medicine" to the stay-at-home mom next door and to some of the entertainment industry's recognizable faces, she's turning back the clock for men and women - one wrinkle at a time.

COVER STORY

Your Beauty.

Her Expertise.

Nancy Pellegrino, NP is much more than a pretty face. Although it's difficult not to notice her flawless skin and sparkling blue eyes, she's also the brains and expertise behind thriving NP Aesthetics, Inc. in Newport Beach. Just ask any of Nancy's loyal skin care devotees, and you'll quickly learn that she's not only an age fighting authority, but a trusted and attentive professional who delivers results-based aesthetic medicine to men and women ages 18 to 88.

What sets Nancy Pellegrino apart from her colleagues is what can't be taught through formal education. She has 15 years of experience providing injections, laser and skin care treatments, in addition to graduating from UCLA at the top of her class. Her innate ability to assess each patient's face and to visualize the possibilities allows Nancy to personalize each and every injection, achieving natural and consistent results. "I am in the business of providing happy medicine, but am serious about fighting the aging process with safe and proven solutions. I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients, helping them match the outside with how they feel on the inside," shares Nancy.

Nancy's clientele ranges from stay-at-home moms to the entertainment industry's familiar faces. "Several of my patient's livelihood's are dependent on their appearance, so it's imperative that I offer innovative

services that deliver the perfect balance of classic elegance and glamour. I want my clients to look like they've just returned from a restful vacation, not that they've been noticeably injected with Botox or fillers," says Nancy. Peggy Tanous from the OC Housewives agrees, "Nancy Pellegrino is the best injector I have ever been to.

Being a TV host and a model, my appearance is everything.

She has a way of distributing Botox and fillers so it reaches all areas, not just one. You look rejuvenated rather than frozen and expressionless!"

As a member of Allergan's advisory board and a highly regarded A.C.E speaker and trainer for the company, Nancy stays one step ahead by having advanced knowledge of products before they're widely available.

She trains doctors and other medical professionals, educating them on the technique and use of Botox and Juvederm.

Patient and former OC House-

wife Lynne Curtin says, "I am so lucky I found Nancy Pellegrino. She is definitely the Michelangelo of Botox, fillers and other non-invasive treatments for women who are not ready to make that step towards a surgical procedure. Along with her amazing staff, Nancy is changing lives and breathing new life and hope into women of any age. I highly recommend a visit to her beautiful state-ofthe-art facility which offers the latest and greatest procedures and products."

Nancy Pellegrino's success has resulted from her passion for the field of aesthetics and because she genuinely cares about her patients. "I'm very grateful for the loyal, happy clients who have trusted me with their faces for years. I've been their friend, confidant and have shared in their major life moments. It's rewarding when they leave NP Aesthetics looking and feeling amazing... and my reputation depends on it."

Optometric group t. Powers Griffin, od S. Randall Griffin, od Patrick Griffin, od In 1957, newly-minted optometrist Dr. Ted Griffin Sr. packed up his growing family and headed west to California. He had a vision for the type of businessman he wanted to become and he set out to build a practice with the highest professional standards. Dr. Griffin pursued these ambitions in his adopted community of San Clemente while raising a family and donating his time to local civic organizations. His core values were passed on to his three sons, all of whom traced their father’s footsteps and studied optometry.

Griffin Optometric Group is now celebrating over 55 years in business, surpassing its founder’s modest goals with three busy offices serving hundreds of local families.

Sons Powers, Randy and Patrick operate the family business in the way their father did—with a steadfast commitment to both patients and community. “Dr. Powers,” “Dr. Randy” and “Dr. Patrick” treat patients at all three local offices— in downtown San Clemente, Laguna Niguel, and Talega—along with two associate optometrists. Each facility provides full-service family eye care and is outfitted with the latest high-tech diagnostic equipment.

Many adult patients have been coming to Griffin Optometric for over 30 years and now bring their own children. This kind of patient loyalty is a testament to the professional and personal dedication of Griffin’s team of doctors and support staff.

Griffin Optometric’s primary focus is ensuring optimal eye health for its patients through education and regular eye exams.

During routine screenings, the doctors test for signs of glaucoma, cataracts and other significant vision threatening diseases and recommend the appropriate course of treatment. Griffin Optometric also provides emergency eye care and surgical evaluations when needed.

One of the most exciting advancements in recent years is the development of LASIK for laser vision correction. Griffin Optometric partners with the laser surgeons at Harvard Eye and TLC Laser Eye Centers to evaluate patients and provide convenient pre-operative and post-operative care. Free LASIK consultations are being offered throughout the month of October with raffle prizes, snacks, and BIG discounts (see opposite page for dates, times, and locations).

All three Griffin sons have followed their father’s example and they embrace a progressive approach to patient care. Continuing education in optometric science, participating in medical studies, and product testing are integral components to each doctor’s professional development. Patients can be assured that their clinicians are highly-skilled, experienced, and well-versed in the most current innovations in the field.

The Griffin brothers are as civic-minded as Dr. Griffin Sr. and have perpetuated this legacy as well. Dr. Powers has been active in the Laguna Niguel Lions Club for many years, and he donates time to school vision screenings and health fairs. Dr. Randy sits on the board of the San Clemente Educational Trust and he is also involved with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Dr. Patrick is currently on the Board of Directors of Casa Romantica Cultural Center and he is a San Clemente Rotarian. In addition, Griffin Optometric sponsors several youth organizations.

The Griffin family invites you to visit one of their local offices for your next yearly eye exam and to meet the team who celebrates “over 55 years of making life clearer.”

ORTHODONTICS • FACIAL ORTHOPEDICS

Local orthodontist Dr. Frank Mogavero found a way to combine his passion for action sports, photography, and creating beautiful smiles—with the help of a few of his most “extreme” patients.

With 23 years of professional experience and a peerless reputation behind him, Dr. Mogavero has become the orthodontist of choice for many of skate and snow’s rising stars.

As an avid snowboarder and amateur photographer, Mogavero infuses an element of fun and visual excitement in to his practice. Patients can sit in an authentic chair lift, play video games in the Wii cave, surf the web, and check out the autograph wall and some captivating sports photography. Mogavero’s kid-friendly atmosphere and caring team help to calm nerves and make a patient’s visit memorable for all the right reasons.

Dr. Mogavero’s unconventional San Clemente office began attracting local skateboarding phenoms a few years ago and his practice suddenly became the go-to spot for these daring tweens and teens. Five of Mogavero’s patients competed—and medaled—in X-Games around the

world in 2013. “I was surprised to learn that even these mega-ramp kids were afraid of the dental chair,” he recalls. “I’m glad I’ve been able to make the experience better for them.”

Although his waiting room screams “fun and X-Games,” Dr. Mogavero is serious when it comes to orthodontic treatment. His practice specializes in early treatment and facial orthopedics, which Mogavero describes as “modification in the formative years to create space for permanent teeth and to optimize growth patterns.” This two-phase method typically starts between the ages of seven and ten years using jaw wideners or braces to address issues like crossbite, crowding, oral habits, protrusion, diastema, underbite and spacing.

The finishing (second) phase includes braces and other appliances. Early treatment has become the standard in the field, and Dr. Mogavero finds that most kids don’t avoid braces and other dental work like in past generations.

Dr. Mogavero treats many adult patients as well.

This series of progressive aligners—otherwise known as invisible braces—is ideal for adults who want the convenience, flexibility and comfort of a removable device that both straightens teeth and creates stunning smiles.

ease. On staff is also Board Certified Periodontist Dr. Timothy Boman. Dr. Boman treats advanced periodontal conditions, performs some oral surgery and places implants. This allows for coordination of treatment, enabling the patient to receive care in one location. The office is equipped with digital xrays, which omit 90% less radiation.

Dr. Franke also treats snoring and sleep apnea with a device that slightly moves the jaw forward to provide relief and a happier, healthier life.

Ocean views, coastal breezes, and flexible scheduling, including Saturday and evening hours, allow patients to come in for routine care with a relaxed state of mind. “We have a real ‘no pressure’ office,” says Dr. Franke, “We offer payment plans and always provide second opinions at no charge.” With four hygienists on staff, cleaning appointments are easy to schedule without having to wait weeks. Dr. Franke is certified in oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide administration, so even apprehensive patients are put at ease.

Dr. Franke has advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign and Lumineers.

“Lumineers are less invasive than other veneers because the structure of the existing teeth is retained,” he explains. Invisalign is especially popular with adults and corrects alignment and spacing issues like traditional braces, but is removable and virtually undetectable. Both products provide patients with the confident smile they’ve always wanted.

Innovations in treatment methods have streamlined visits as well. Dr. Franke offers laser periodontal therapy to treat gum dis-

Aloha fooT & Ankle Victor Cachia, dpm

Dr. Victor Cachia’s unique approach to podiatry evolved over a lifetime of education, travel, and charity. For 25 years, Cachia earned his impeccable reputation by identifying his patients’ needs and developing custom and comprehensive treatment plans.

His Mission Viejo practice, Aloha Foot and Ankle, focuses on all podiatric issues—from cosmetic treatments and bunion correction to joint replacements and the full scope of reconstructive surgery.

Recent advancements in the field have changed the way patients think of foot care.

Aloha’s acquisition of the state-of-the-art QClear Laser has become an important tool to treat toenail problems like hardening and yellowing. This revolutionary technology has helped patients achieve excellent outcomes, and Cachia looks forward to treating more patients with these stubborn issues. The doctor also employs the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques for bunion and flat foot correction that allow patients to ambulate within a day with little discomfort.

To add a new dimension to his practice, Dr. Cachia brought in Dr. Visoth Chan, who subspecializes in wound care, limb salvage, and diabetic foot care. She recently completed her rigorous training at White Memorial Medical Center. “I searched for some time to find a qualified physician like Dr. Chan who is willing to listen to patients,” says Cachia, “She’s a valuable addition to our practice and the community.”

Dr. Cachia’s many visits to Hawaii as a kid imbued the values and “Aloha Spirit” of the islands. He applies this philosophy–“to be loving and genuine in all interactions with people and nature”–both to his practice and to his benevolent work. “As a resident physician, I was exposed to Third World people who were without medical care,” he explains, “and I was taught to use my talents for good.” His volunteer work with charitable organizations has brought him throughout Central America to serve patients who would otherwise go untreated. The doctor has operated on adults and children for over

southern Orange County Pediatric Associates Pediatric Medicine

A group of dedicated physicians has cared for the littlest members of our San Clemente community for the past nine years. Southern Orange County Pediatric Associates is recognized as one of South Orange County’s premier pediatric practices. With four locations, twelve board certified physicians and four nurse practitioners, “SOCPA” is proud to offer quality care for over 30 years.

Southern Orange County Pediatric Associates stays connected to the community in a variety of ways. Most of the physicians in the San Clemente office live directly in the community.

They are invested in the well-being of their neighbors and take pride in knowing each family uniquely by name. “We genuinely care for our patients. We see them in our office, and we see them in our everyday lives. We are connected not only clinically, but socially,” explains Dr. Lauren Dwinell. The connectivity extends beyond the locations. SOCPA offers electronic health records, which allows continuity of care

22 OCTOBER 2013

from one location to another. “This means that if a patient is seen for an illness in the evening or on the weekend, the provider will have up-to-date records to provide the best care possible.” Online communication is also available so the parents can communicate with their providers 24/7.

Aside from treating runny noses and itchy rashes, the practice is dedicated to keeping patients healthy by providing routine physicals and vaccines. Additional care includes diagnosis and treatment related to issues such as ADHD, weight management and asthma.

SOCPA physicians are always on call to serve their patients, providing care at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, Mission Hospital and CHOC at Mission.

The SOCPA providers and staff are compassionate about giving back to the communities in which they serve. They donate their time by speaking at schools, scout meetings

and health fairs and provide services to children with minimal access to healthcare needs.

“We’re pediatricians because we enjoy the children, but also the dynamic of the entire family. We are parents, and we can relate. We enjoy helping children,” says Dr. Dwinell, “This is just what we do!”

riviera laser studios

Mark and Jeannine Kofford, MD, Ph.D Doctors Mark and Jeannine Kofford at Riviera Laser Studios are leading experts in global facial rejuvenation using longlasting facial fillers and advanced laser resurfacing techniques. With more than 12 years of experience with facial injectables and lasers, as well as six-plus years with long-lasting facial filler. They are national trainers and are true masters of the art of facial rejuvenation. They specialize in safe, minimally invasive techniques for personalized results without the look of a traditional surgical facelift.

Outside the office, the doctors are active in the community as well as internationally.

They travel extensively on non-profit medical missions providing medical services to those in need. Recent trips include travels to Brazil, India, Nicaragua, Peru and Uruguay.

Free 3D Facial Imaging Consultations Riviera Laser Studios offers a free, unique consultation that features 3D imaging, allowing patients to see themselves from all

angles in just a few minutes. To better inform patients, the Koffords provide an overview of the facial aging process while also discussing individual patient needs and concerns. With patient input, a customized plan is created using 3D facial imaging coupled with the doctor’s expertise.

Global Facial Rejuvenation Approach To achieve a natural, youthful look, the doctors take a conservative, yet global approach to reshape and volumize what time takes away. They start with rebuilding a foundation deep below the skin to reconstruct volume loss and laser resurfacing, as needed.

Next, they contour soft tissue areas such as the cheeks and tear troughs to restore the central face. Finally, refining of fine lines and wrinkles creates an overall younger look with lasting results. To ensure natural looking results and patient satisfaction, several sessions are often suggested while providing immediate results with little to no down time.

Now, you can look 10 years younger for 10 years longer!

Anne Luhan, md, FACS

Do you have heavy, achy, itchy or restless legs at the end of the day? Do you see bulging, unsightly veins across your legs or feet?

Then you may be one of 80 million Americans who are plagued with varicose veins and may not even realize you have them.

Why suffer needlessly when treatment is just around the corner at Dr. Anne Luhan’s office in Dana Point. Her medical expertise is now being focused on a revolutionary procedure for the elimination of varicose veins that takes only 15 minutes, right in the office, with little downtime or discomfort, and is covered by Medicare and most major insurance companies.

Many who have experienced varicose veins believe they are simply a cosmetic issue that is more of a nuisance than a genuine medical concern. The fact is that varicose veins are a massively underdiagnosed and undertreated problem that can progress into a more serious medical condition, if not addressed properly. Dr. Luhan is making it her mission to educate patients and the community about

varicose veins and has partnered with the national campaign “Rethink Varicose Veins� to spread the word.

Once patients learn they are a candidate for the cutting edge treatment that delivers maximum results with minimal pain, they are elated to finally have a solution to their nagging problem. Utilizing the efficacious thermoablation treatment, Dr. Luhan is able to offer patients an in-office procedure requiring no anesthesia. For many, this is a life-altering change that allows them to now lead active, productive lives.

Dr. Anne Luhan completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Ulm, Germany (the birth city of Albert Einstein), where she graduated summa cum laude. She attended a research semester at Harvard University in Boston and went on to complete a residency in general surgery at the nationally ranked Department of Surgery at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where she was educated in all aspects of surgical procedures. She

then added on a fellowship in Intensive Care and Trauma Surgery at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center, facing the challenges of life and death decision making. Dr. Luhan is a double board certified general surgeon and surgical intensivist. She is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.).

San Clemente welcomes Vu Mai, DDS, who brings 18 years of vast experience in implants, oral surgery, and reconstructive dentistry. Dr. Mai has always been a high achiever with a passion for learning. He graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry at the age of 22. After dental school, he joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to the elite 82nd Airborne Division as their Dental Surgeon.

Dr. Mai has also completed several postgraduate dental programs and is a strong believer in continuing education, ensuring his patients receive the highest quality dental care.

Military service has provided Dr. Mai with an invaluable opportunity to repay a sizeable debt. “I joined because it’s my patriotic duty,” says Dr. Mai. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve, he also volunteers for various humanitarian missions. “I strongly believe in the concept of ‘Pay It Forward’,’’ he adds, “Committing myself to my patients and the military is the best way that I know

how to continue to serve my community.”

Dr. Mai considers thorough consultation a key responsibility as a clinician. He is enthusiastic about sharing what he calls “The Art and Science of Dentistry.” “When patients are fully informed about options, they make more confident decisions,” explains Dr. Mai. Dr. Mai’s mission is for every patient to leave Patriot Dental as a happy and satisfied customer. Mary Ann Perrino shares this about her experience, “I came in for an implant and bridge replacement consult and Dr. Mai spent over an hour explaining the procedure.

HENKEN ORTHODONTICS edmond henken, dds, ms October is National Orthodontic Health Month with Dr. Edmond Henken celebrating over 25 years of creating his signature “winning smiles,” not only in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano, but in all of South Orange County. His impeccable style and experience in orthodontics finds him performing all phases of orthodontic treatment from young children to adults, Invisalign to difficult oral surgery cases.

“From day one of my practice, I decided not to extract any permanent teeth whenever possible. This avoids creating airway problems which leads to sleep apnea. By treating early, we can also correct problem growth patterns which will cripple people for a lifetime,” Dr. Henken states. “This allows me to calculate each of my patients’ projected facial growth, creating ideal balanced faces.”

This orthodontic technique came from Dr. Henken’s outstanding education with his mentor, Dr. Robert Ricketts, who taught him “Bio Progressive Orthodontics” at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.

Dr. Henken understands the important role in establishing proper jaw size, expansion and alignment. He believes that if the jaws are not properly formed, just moving teeth alone will not create a balanced face, balanced health or an attractive smile.

Dr. Henken takes great pride in practicing 25 years of orthodontics by treating three generations of patients; he enjoys working with his outstanding staff, many of whom have been with him as long as 20 years. He is a proud sponsor of the San Clemente High School Women’s Softball Team, San Clemente High School Varsity Dance Team, Surfrider Foundation, “Sailors for the Sea,” and the U.S. Sailing Olympic Team, just to name a few. His experience and expertise in Bio Progressive Treatment has made him sought after, not only locally, but also around the United States, by world champions, professional and olympic athletes.

Henken Orthodontics is conveniently open Monday through Friday with emergency

calls taken on the weekends. Dr. Henken and his staff invite you to visit Henken Orthodontics on Facebook, and to look for their new website at TeamOrtho.com coming soon.

MONARCH VETerINARY HOSPITAL GLENN CRAFT, DVM

Monarch Veterinary Hospital sits nestled among the hills of south Laguna Niguel in Clubhouse Plaza, in a cozy residential area filled with pet owners who love and care for their furry friends like members of the family. Although a pet may receive the best in preventative care, they are still susceptible to disease states that require diagnostic services and treatment. Monarch Veterinary Hospital not only provides exceptional healthcare, but prides itself on being a neighborhood facility that builds trusting, lasting relationships with local pet lovers.

If you’re looking for a veterinary practice where the staff knows your pet by name, then Monarch Veterinary Hospital is the place for you. In 2002, Dr. Glenn Craft and his wife, Lisa, envisioned operating just such a facility when they returned home after spending 4 years serving in Thailand with Christian Veterinary Mission/World Concern, a community development NGO that operates in the poorest parts of the world.

A husband and wife team since 1987, the Crafts were convinced that they could establish a high-end practice that balanced a personal touch with cutting edge, full-service veterinary medicine. They realized their goal when they opened Monarch Veterinary Hospital which utilizes up-to-date technologies, including paperless medical records, digital X-rays, digital ultrasound and social media to communicate with clients.

Monarch Veterinary Hospital offers the expanse of veterinary medicine from wellness checkups and dental care to pain management and specialized surgeries. If you need a pet’s prescription filled, they also operate an onsite pharmacy for your convenience. The key members on Monarch’s team all have over 15 years of professional experience and have worked with Dr. Craft for many years.

Craft, “Thank you so much for taking care of Lucky on your “off” day! I cannot put into words how much I appreciate your dedication, care, and ethics – you are always impressing me! I sing your praise to all that will listen!”

The goal at Monarch Veterinary Hospital is to deliver a personalized experience that exceeds your expectations at each and every visit. Ejaye S. of Laguna Niguel had this to share about Dr.

kent c. sanders, dds

general • cosmetic • implaNt dentistry After 32 years of practicing family dentistry in San Clemente and countless hours of continuing education, Dr. Kent Sanders has seen the profession evolve into more of an art form through material advancements, minimally invasive techniques, and more finely-tuned equipment.

“Practicing dentistry is more fun than ever,” says Dr. Sanders, “Twenty years ago our dental materials were good, but not great. In the last decade, products have been developed that look and perform much better. Fracture-resistant composites, implants and porcelain veneers allow us to give patients something almost better than the original.” Whitening agents like the ZOOM! system help patients overcome decades of discoloration almost instantly. Improvements like these have made dental work almost undetectable, so patients can maintain dental health and confident smiles.

Dr. Sanders identifies primarily as a “tooth restoration specialist,” and he employs all methods available to retain structure, minimize discom-

fort, and achieve aesthetically-pleasing results.

To replace extractions, for example, he uses dental implants that are surgically implanted into the gum tissue and look and feel like real teeth. Veneers cover a weakened tooth and are permanently bonded to the existing surface, leaving less collateral damage than a traditional crown. Veneers are also used extensively in cosmetic applications to perfect misalignment, gaps, and breakage (the secret to a movie star smile!). Dr. Sanders also specializes in treatments of other oral health-related issues like TMJ and sleep apnea.

Most of Dr. Sanders’s restorations are completed without the need for anesthetic, thanks to the Waterlase laser. This breakthrough in equipment replaces drills and needles, shortens procedure and recovery times, and improves clinical results. Dr. Sanders was the first clinician in San Clemente to implement the Waterlase ten years ago, and he has found that patients are much more proactive about their oral health and relaxed in the dental chair.

When he’s not treating patients, Dr. Sanders spends time mountain biking, skiing, and following the youth and high school sports adventures of his three sons.

tyler johnson, dc, ccsp chiropractic center

When Dr. Tyler Johnson of San Clemente’s Chiropractic Center was asked what made his practice so successful, he referred to a quote from Will Rogers, “If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.”

Dr. Johnson’s constant drive to provide his patients with the best care has always been his priority. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and an honors graduate of The Southern California University of Health Sciences. He holds post doctorate certifications as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, a Gonstead Technique Specialist, and a Kinesio Taping Specialist. His years of education and training have been motivated by the love he has for his patients. “When there is a loving foundation,” he says, “It affects every aspect of the practice.”

From communicating with patients and un-

derstanding their specific needs, to creating an individualized treatment plan for achieving wellness, Dr. Johnson always strives to offer an experience that he would want a member of his family to have in another doctor’s office.

“I’ve always felt part of loving what I do is being available when people need you,” adds Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson is in his office six days a week (Monday - Saturday) to ensure that scheduling conflicts won’t preclude patients from receiving the care they need. “I work hard to let my patients know I will do what it takes to be here for them when they need me,” he says. From professional and amateur athletes, to entire families, to complex and difficult cases that have yet to find a successful resolution, Dr. Johnson brings his unique skill set to healing patients in ways that are both safe and effective.

“I love San Clemente and everything about it,” he says. “You may catch me with a surfboard

on the roof of my car or with sandy feet after my lunch break, but getting back to work and helping people is the best part about being here.”

sea view pharmacy

Drs. Eugene and jennifer Medley

An often overlooked but important healthcare connection to establish is a personal relationship with your neighborhood pharmacist. Experienced, independent pharmacists are an invaluable resource for parents, seniors, athletes, and anyone else who needs trusted medical information and consultations. Family-owned and operated for over 36 years, Sea View Pharmacy in San Clemente has served the community through decades of sweeping changes in healthcare management—and will support the current generation of local families through the next.

Jerry Medley assumed ownership of Sea View in 1988 and can still be spotted behind the counter assisting patients. His son and business partner, Eugene, runs the day-to-day operations now, along with Eugene’s wife Jennifer (when she’s not chasing after three busy kids under the age of five!). Eugene grew up hanging around the pharmacy, but he explored stints as an ocean lifeguard, working in animal husbandry with Siegfried and Roy, and teaching veterinary anatomy before obtaining a doctorate degree in pharmacy and joining his father. As a profes-

sional, Medley finds gratification in knowing his business caters to a particular niche in the marketplace. “We can devote more time to customer service than the corporate-run stores,” he says, “As a compounding pharmacy, we can provide customized therapies that aren’t available commercially.”

“Pharmaceutical companies formulate medications and determine dosages based on a 180-pound Caucasian male,” Medley explains, “We work with physicians to customize treatments for people who don’t fit into that mold.” Babies with digestive issues, hormone replacement candidates, veterinary patients, and people with special dietary requirements—just to name a few—all benefit from a partnership between the doctor and pharmacist to determine the most effective treatment with the most appropriate dosage.

As San Clemente’s only independent pharmacy, Sea View is also the go-to source for all medical equipment and supplies—even hard to find products—from bandages and

braces to compression garments and wheelchairs. The website provides a wealth of information as well, including drug profiles, healthy recipes, articles, and referrals. Check out SeaViewPharmacy.com and take a peek, or better yet, stop by and introduce yourself!

Alice Moran, DMD

periodontics • dental implants San Clemente Periodontist, Dr. Alice Moran, is one of only a few board certified periodontists in Orange County. At her Talega practice, Dr. Moran offers patients the most innovative and cutting edge technology available in her field.

Dr. Moran provides the least invasive and most effective procedures to treat gum disease and place dental implants. Utilizing laser periodontal surgery, or LANAP, she administers a no-cut, no-sew approach that achieves results superior to conventional, more invasive surgery. “I want patients to have a positive experience when they visit my office and LANAP is a wonderful option for those who were once afraid to seek periodontal treatment.” says Dr. Moran. She also corrects failing implants with the same laser technology. When dental implants are placed, she utilizes a computer generated surgical technique to ensure more accurate placement and less extensive surgery.

If you have gum recession, you may be a candidate for the Chao pinhole surgical technique (PST). Traditional gum grafting techniques in-

volve taking gum tissue from the roof of the mouth and creating an incision and flap at the recipient site which causes discomfort for most patients. PST is a new minimally invasive option that does not require palatal tissue, an incision, or sutures. The recovery is rapid with little to no discomfort. Dr. Moran is the first periodontist in Orange County to offer PST and is excited about the benefits to her patients.

Dr. Moran began her career as a dental hygienist. She went on to become a general dentist, joined the Navy, and then received her periodontal training and board certification. She retired from the Navy after twenty years of service with the rank of Commander.

In 2002, she settled in San Clemente with her husband and two daughters. She started her periodontal practice in Talega in 2005. Dr. Moran adds, “I just love doing what I’m doing practicing periodontics. I look at my mission as trying to reach out to people and make them more educated about periodontal disease, its prevention and its treatment.”

Hearing with Two Ears Think of your hearing as a system, your two ears and your brain constantly taking in a wide variety of Randy and Caryn Rose and Chris Sumer cues and automatically, unconsciously, and effortlessly identifying the sounds and locating where the cues are coming from. Actually, it is accurate to think of your brain as the center of hearing and listening to interpret sounds correctly so the information your brain receives must be accurate and as detailed as possible.

Keeping Your Ears in Shape If you have a hearing loss in both ears but decide only to wear one instrument in the ear that needs it the most, the ear that is deprived of stimulation might get even lazier. This condition is known as “Auditory Deprivation” and the only way to combat it is by keeping both ears active.

LOCAL EVENTS

The 2013 Diamond Ball will support charities whose purpose is to change lives through the assistance of animals. The beneficiaries of this year's gala are the Wounded Veteran Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) and Friends of Orange County's Homeless Pets (FOCHP).

Together We Can Make A Difference Get ready to sparkle, shine and give back to some treasured friends. The Diamond Ball, to be held Saturday, November 9th at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, is a gala evening with the special mission of raising funds and awareness for animalrelated charities. The emotional ties that connect us to the animals we love can oftentimes make the difference in our lives and this wonderful event takes that sentiment to heart.

38 OCTOBER 2013

thelocaldishmagazine.com

Veteran's Day weekend was intentionally selected as the date for The Ball because it's a time to honor and reflect on those who've served our country proudly.

Both CCI and FOCHP support the residents of our local community through their work. Having FOCHP and CCI together as beneficiaries solidifies The Diamond's Ball's vision that it's not just about people saving animal's lives; it's about how animals save people's lives, too.

CCI helps injured veterans put their lives back together by providing assistance dogs that play an integral role in a veteran's ability to regain independence. Established in 1975, CCI has five regional training centers across the country and is recognized worldwide for the excellence of its

dogs, and the quality and longevity of the matches it makes between dogs and people. Through CCI’s Wounded Veterans Initiative, veterans with physical disabilities such as hearing loss, limb amputations and spinal cord injuries receive services that may not otherwise be available.

FOCHP aids homeless and unwanted pets by making them more adoptable. Their mission is accomplished through training, veterinary services, and spay and neuter assistance.

FOCHP is operated solely by volunteers and 100 percent of donations received go directly back to the needs of their rescued animals.

This extraordinary evening to honor veterans and The Ritz-Carlton's charity partners will be a night to remember.

Tickets are $250 per person and the evening includes a silent and live auction and a fourcourse dinner presented by Executive Chef Pedro Contreras. The evening also includes The Diamond Drop Extravaganza, an opportunity for guests to donate gems and jewelry in support of the cause. For more information about The Diamond Ball and to purchase tickets, please visit TheDiamondBall.org.

he enticing smell of bbq smoke will ride the coastal winds at the 3rd Annual Dana Point State BBQ Championship. The event takes place on Saturday, October 5th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the beautiful Sea Terrace Park...and admission is free.

This Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) sanctioned contest is the largest bbq competition on the west coast. Last year's event set a California state record with 79 teams participating in the championship and organizers are anticipating to eclipse that turnout this year with a goal of 100 teams. The City of Dana Point encourages local residents and amateur barbeque enthusiasts to form teams and join in the friendly competition.

KCBS is the world's largest organization of barbeque and grilling enthusiasts with over 15,000 members worldwide. The KCBS places their stamp of approval on over 400 barbeque contests throughout the country. A blind judging process is used by KCBS certified judges to ensure fairness and KCBS judges are trained in a manner that allows them to appropriately assess all types of barbeque, from St. Louis and Texas styles to Memphis and

thelocaldishmagazine.com

Carolina styles. Judges will sample and assign a point total to each entry based on appearance, taste and texture. Each teams’ cumulative points not only determine the winners at the Dana Point competition, but also go towards regional and national titles like the California BBQ Association’s Team of the Year.

BBQ enthusiasts from Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and across the state are competing again this year for a share of $20,000 in prize money - with the ultimate goal of being crowned the Grand Champion. Teams will compete in four different bbq categories: brisket, pork, ribs and chicken. A special contest category for all you sweet lovers is being served up this year - dessert! The committee has included a bonus contest called the Ranchers Reserve, which will award the most deserving team a cash prize of $900.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9934 will be selling BBQ Tasting Tickets for $2 per tasting, so the public can try some of the mouth-watering BBQ prepared by many of the competitors. All of the proceeds from the public tastings will go directly to the VFW. The entire family can savor a delicious

meal while having some fun at the BBQ Championship. Along with the BBQ, there will be Microbrew Tastings and a food court where full entrees and beverages will be available. Bring the whole family, even the dog, to enjoy the festivities.

Plenty of live entertainment will be performed throughout the afternoon from Chris Lozano and the Dixie Playboys, to The Tricia Freeman Band and Turn the Page (a Bob Seger Tribute band).

Proceeds from the food court and beverage area will benefit the 5th Marine Regiment Support Group, American Cancer Society's Dana Point Relay for Life, Pet Project Foundation and other deserving non-profit groups that support local residents.

Parking will be available on Stonehill Road and at Dana Hills High School. A complimentary shuttle bus will run from Dana Hills High School to the BBQ Championship from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. To become an event participant or for more information, please contact the Dana Point Community Services & Parks Department at 949.248.3530 or visit DanaPointBBQChampionships.com.

Proderma works miracles...as my daughter and I agree!

My daughter had a problem with acne, and she now has beautiful clear skin.

She is beyond thrilled.

I was hoping to find a good skin care specialist and we definitely found one. During adolescence, I myself had acne, and I did not want my daughter to end up with the same. Proderma has turned her skin around 180 degrees, and I highly recommend their services!

ASK DR. JULIE? JULIE A. DAVIS, MA, PsyD Licensed Clinical Psychologist #24689

Q: I met a Man about 3 months ago that I enjoy going out with, but he does not call me that often, and at times takes several days to return a text or an email. I wonder if I am important to him?

A: Take a look at the top three things he makes time for every week. Are you in there on a consistent basis? If not, you may need to face a painful truth about your importance in his life. You do not need to waste your time - there are plenty of other men that will make you a priority. If a man is really interested in pursuing a woman, he will move mountains to connect and spend time with her. If you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship pattern call me for a consultation or schedule an appointment.

BY BONNIE SMALL

Founded in Colorado in 2007, Smashburger is a nationwide sensation, and thanks to owners Ernie and Stephen Sandoval, locations in South OC are sprouting up everywhere! The newest digs in San Clemente’s Gateway Village Plaza (adjacent to San Clemente High School) has been smashing for just over a month to rave reviews.

949.464.5700

•

thepointrestaurantandbar.com

OPEN FOR LUNCH AND DINNER

Smashburger’s goal is to bring back the classic American burger and they accomplish their mission by using a precise method of “smashing” a ball of 100% Angus beef on the flat top grill, resulting in a burger perfectly seasoned, expertly seared on the outside, and juicy inside.

The Smashburger core menu is available at each location, but specialties like the OC burger are unique to each region. Starting with either a beef patty or chicken breast, the OC brings some sophistication to quick food with the addition of baby portabella mushrooms, baby arugula, grilled onions, aged Swiss cheese and truffle mayo. One tip - a side of flash fried green beans and carrots (no batter!) is the perfect accompaniment.

No-fuss burger lovers will love the Classic Smash – American cheese and traditional burger condiments are perfected with the addition of Smash Sauce (think Thousand Island dressing made with mustard instead of ketchup.) If you like it hot, head for the Spicy Baja burger which layers fresh jalapenos, guacamole, pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo on – wait for it - a chipotle bun!

Anyone can order off the menu board, but you can impress your family and friends by ordering from Smashburger’s secret menu, which includes fried pickles and the jackpot-worthy Sin City Burger topped with a fried egg, bacon, grilled onions, haystack onions and Smash Sauce.

Nothing rounds out a classic burger better than a classic shake, which the Smashburger crew whips up with Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

For a scrumptiously nostalgic blast, try the PB&J shake made with vanilla Häagen-Dazs, strawberry syrup and Nutter Butter cookies.

(PB&J is featured for a limited time, but will soon make its way to the secret menu!)
