WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

My New Favorite Skin Doctor Here it is the end of February. It is so cold outside you can see those green freeze free covers placed on all the tropical plants in the front yards. The farmlands are more than ready to receive their first crop of corn.

What a great time to look in on a local business, who can get you ready for spring to be sprung.

I was so fortunate to make a personal visit to Golden State Dermatology for an on-site interview with one of their doctors. Still under cover, they had no idea I was the snoop. The cool part was when I walked into the reception area for my consultation I met an old time friend who was a regular patient. She posted about her doctor who happened to be doctored JR Zimmerman who I had my consultation with. She told me she loved her doctor, the entire staff, and the results she has had from their services.

Big 10 points!

Wendy the super friendly receptionist greeted me with a wonderful “hello and

welcome to Golden State Dermatology,” another 10 points. Dr. Zimmerman greeted me at the front desk and we went off to his office. I was so comfortable with him it was really easy to begin my pretend interview. I first talked about my skin and possible treatment for a few spots on my face. I learned about the many options and treatments they offered and couldn’t wait to book an appointment for the simple procedure. I asked Dr. “Z” why they came to Brentwood. He told me that they felt there was a need for additional medical and cosmetic dermatology services and because they were new to the area it would be quite easy to get an appointment and receive all the benefits they offered. And they would love to meet the great people in Brentwood. As for me I can’t wait to go back for my appointment! I have been searching for the right dermatologist and like I told them in person “you are my new doctor.”

They offer patients a full spectrum of the latest cosmetic dermatology services and treatments. Such as: Blue Light & Levulan, Botox Cosmetic, Cellulaze, Chemical Peels, CoolSculpting, Cosmopen, Dermal Fillers, Diolite Laser for Spider Veins, Elite Laser, FotoFacial, Fraxel Dual Laser. FX Laser Resurfacing, Kybella, Latisse for Lashes, PRP Hair Restoration, Microdermabrasion, Tattoo Removal, Ultherapy. Now that is a list of services!

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY Unique, Fresh, Emotive & Different

Put down this article and go to GoldenStatedermatology.com for all the details!

Now the good part. There is an entire team of professionals including Dr. Z and his colleagues to handle your skin care needs including Botox, Coolsculpting, chemical peels, Latisse for lashes and more. Score!!

Another 10 points! So Dr. “Z”, Wendy, and the entire staff this secret shopper gives you a “30” bright and clear complexions for bringing GSD to Brentwood. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Golden State Dermatology is located at 1200 Central Blvd. Ste. D in Brentwood.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Dental Health and Osteoporosis Osteoporosis or porous bone is a disease that weakens bones especially the hip, spine and the wrist and makes them more likely to break. As we grow older, our bones begin to lose their density and strength, especially after we reach fifty years old. Many factors affect bone density, including diet, physical activity, hormones, lifestyle, family history and medications. Osteoporosis affects about 10 million Americans out of which 8 million of whom are women. The disease affects more woman than cancer, heart disease, and stroke combined. About thirty four million Americans have osteopenia or low bone density and are at risk of developing osteoporosis.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation about one in two women and up to one in four men older than 50 years will break a bone as a result of osteoporosis. Broken bones of the

spine and hip are linked to an increased risk of death. This disease causes more than 2 million fractures each year and can affect the person’s quality of life. Some people never fully recover.

Many people with low bone density or osteoporosis prevent broken bones by taking one of the drugs from a group of bisphosphonates or denosumab.

Studies have shown that in many people osteoporosis medications help reduce the chance of breaking bones by reducing bone loss and increasing bone density. Some reports estimate that taking osteoporosis medications reduce the chance of breaking a hip by as much as 40 to 50 percent.

keep a very good oral hygiene regime and please let the dentist know if you have been or are currently taking these medications. It is recommended to monitor your oral health regularly by the dentist to prevent any extractions or surgical procedures in the jaw to reduce the occurrence of necrosis of the jaw bone due to these medications. Do not stop taking these medications without speaking to your physician because they will be the best source of information regarding your need to for osteoporosis medications. There is no known prevention for osteonecrosis of the jaw but you can reduce the risk by regular dental visits and excellent oral hygiene.

In some patients who have been taking osteoporosis medications a condition known as osteonecrosis of the jaw has been reported. This is a rare condition but it is serious and can cause severe damage to the jaw bone. Most patients diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with these medications are patients with cancer who have received or are receiving repeated high doses through intravenous infusion. There is a risk of developing osteonecrosis if you are taking bisphosphonates or denosumab for osteoporosis and researchers agree that the chances are small. Therefore it is very important to

maintain great indoor air quality during the seasonal change:

5 Indoor Air Quality Tips for the Upcoming Spring Season

• Use allergen-rated filters – Besides making sure that your air filters are changed on an appropriate schedule, using a high-quality filter rated for allergen filtration will help clean the air as it cycles.

Regular filters are designed to protect the heating and cooling system by trapping larger particles such as dust before they reach the unit. High-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters will trap much smaller particles and keep offending allergens from simply recirculating back into the living space.

As winter gives way to spring, the combination of warmer temperatures and increase of rain showers can often lead to heightened levels of humidity. Many plants and trees will also begin to bloom, and the pollen levels can create invasive allergens for unprepared homeowners.

• Consider an air cleaner – If those living in the home are experiencing severe negative health effects from invasive allergens, using an air cleaner in conjunction with HEPA air filters for the HVAC unit will dramatically increase the effectiveness of overall indoor air filtration.

Air cleaners are designed specifically to remove mold, mildew, dust, pollen and pet dander from the air inside the home.

“Although we’re quickly moving past the freezing, dry air of winter, it is important to acknowledge as we begin to change seasons that spring can also wreak havoc on the air quality inside a home,” said Tommy Webber, owner of T. Webber Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning.

“Excessive humidity can lead to mildew, mold, peeling wallpaper and rot in wooden window frames from running condensation. Allergens bloom and worsen in humid environments as well, so it’s important to keep pollen and other similar airborne threats from entering the home.”

• Install ultraviolet lamps – Ultraviolet lamps can be installed inside the heating and cooling unit to kill mold and bacteria that may develop on and around the coil due to moisture, and there are also lamps available that can sterilize the moving air.

These lamps are effective at killing germs that may otherwise recirculate through the

T. Webber offers the following tips to

• Make sure the home is properly ventilated – Bathrooms and kitchens are both major contributors to the humidity of the home, and they need to be properly vented. Check exhaust vents to make sure they are free of obstruction and working properly so that excess moisture and pollutants can be removed.

• Utilize a dehumidifier – After the winter passes, most humidifiers are placed in storage until the dryer months of summer arrives. Using a dehumidifier in its place will maintain a balanced indoor environment by removing excess moisture from the air and helping to prevent issues such as the development of mold and mildew.

“Spring is a beautiful season in the Hudson Valley, but the changes in the air can also cause trouble for unsuspecting homeowners,” Webber said. “Following these tips and preparing your home in advance can save a lot of time, money and heartache battling the effects of moisture on the home and fending off allergyrelated health issues.”

can also have huge benefits to your community. Educators are often busy with large class numbers and assignments and even the smallest help such as helping grade papers or office work can make all the difference.

Contributing To Our Community March. The month when it is time to start fresh.

The perfect start is contributing to your community.

Giving back to your community is an excellent way to help others around you, considering we are in the fresh starts and spring cleaning; what better than caring for your community.

Volunteering is a superb way to give back and make yourself feel fulfilled as well. Some ways that you can volunteer in and around your community is to help a family in need. Lets’ face it, life can be hectic and the everyday hustle and bustle can sometimes take a toll. Next time you are in line at the grocery store, offer to help load groceries into a family’s car or even pay for a portion. The slightest sign of care can mean the world to someone who you didn’t even know needed it.

Offering to volunteer at a local school

Your neighborhood can also be a great place to start. Start a community yard sale so the whole community can benefit from sales. Yard sales are a great way for people of all ages to come together and spend a Saturday or Sunday enjoying the outdoors; especially since February had some rather warm weather. Take advantage of the opportunity and go outside. Volunteering and giving back has exponential benefits on your health.

You will enjoy a sense of purpose and fulfillment and remain physically and mentally active. So, not only will you be helping others and the community, you will also be helping yourself; so everyone wins. Take the month of March to consider taking time out of your week or month to give back, even in the slightest of ways. Anything and anyone can make a difference.

first person dies, let’s also assume the property is now worth $500,000. Instead of receiving a full step-up in basis to the $500,000, the survivor will only receive ½ step-up in basis.

How to Hold Title to Your Property Do you know how you hold title to your property? There are many different ways to hold title and most people don’t spend much time thinking about it. It is important to know how you hold title to your property because it can have huge consequences.

Holding Property If You Are Married, But Don’t Have A Trust If you are married and don’t have a Trust, many people assume that the best way to hold title is as joint tenants. Prior to 2001, this was correct because joint tenancy allowed property to pass automatically without a probate. However, holding title as joint tenants can have negative tax consequences. Under Joint Tenancy, when the first spouse dies, the property will be transferred to the survivor, but the survivor may only take a ½ step up in basis. For example, let’s say the property was purchased for $100,000 and is held by the owners as joint tenants. When the

In 2001, the California legislature added a new way for couples to hold title which is “community property with the right of survivorship.” Similar to joint tenancy, holding title as community property with the right of survivorship allows the survivor to automatically receives the decedent’s interest in the property without a will or probate. But, unlike with joint tenancy with right of survivorship, this form allows the survivor to take a full step-up in basis rather than only half at the death of the first spouse.

Holding Property If You Have A Revocable Living Trust (“Trust”) If you have a Trust, check to make sure your property is in your Trust. Many people come to our office with all their Trust documents, but after doing a title search, we discover that none of their property has been transferred into the Trust. To make sure your property is in the Trust, check your Grant Deed to ensure the name of your Trust is on the Deed.

There are several key benefits to holding your property in a Trust. First, upon the passing of the first person, the survivor

Bookkeeping • Income Tax Service Ronald R. Reagan, EA, MST Patricia M. Reagan, CRTP David York, EA, OFS

will automatically receive the decedent’s interest in the property while also bypassing the probate process. Second, the survivor will receive the full step up in basis for tax purposes assuming the title to the property was previously as community property or the Trust provides that the property is community. Third, if both Trustees are still living and one person becomes incapacitated, the other Trustee is able to manage or even sell the property without the need of a conservatorship or using a power of attorney.

If you are concerned about how you are holding title to your property, come visit us and we can check for you. Additionally, if you find that you are not holding property in a manner most beneficial for you and your family, we can help you make the change.

AMY’S BRIGHT ADVICE

How Do You Define Success?

Success is defined

by Webster’s Dictionary as the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame. But, thank goodness, today that definition has transitioned within our society into more than just the state of our bank accounts and/or how others perceive us.

Our society has made many unfortunate changes throughout the years but I truly believe that this is something that we as Americans can be proud of. I believe success is defined by who you are when no one is looking; one who has a superior work ethic, a strong faith and a great desire to serve and lead others down the same path.

We need to ask ourselves questions in order to evaluate whether we have reached a stature of successfulness, but also realize that there is no limit to the range in which that can truly be measured. Do you see success as how others perceive you or is it more of a personal view of yourself? Is success really attainable or is it something that one will continuously spend their lives trying to achieve, and is that striving what makes you more successful than

others? All these questions will help you formulate how you see success for yourself and if you are on the correct path to achieving that state. The other thing we must remember is that what we believe success looks like might actually be smoke and mirrors. Think of all the famous and wealthy people that on the outside look like they have it all together but then we find out that they are completely broken and miserable on the inside, would you still look at them as a definition of someone successful or not? Wouldn’t you rather be completely without financial means but live in a state of complete joy and feel spiritually complete and whole? Jesus defined success as one who puts others and God above himself with no desire to have personal recognition and reward for serving with great love. Why is it that when we help others or are able to give to others we feel blessed? Maybe success is knowing that you have made a difference and maybe even leaving behind a legacy that others can follow.

New Ways to Measure Success.

• Character in solitude. Those who display character in the dark will always reflect it in the light.

• Contentment in circumstance.

Rich is the man or woman who can find contentment in any circumstance.

• Courage during adversity. Courage can only be revealed when it is required.

• Faithfulness in commitment. Those whose words are true.

•

Generosity in abundance.

•

Gratitude despite circumstance.

• Humility in accomplishment. Those who are quick to deflect praise in accomplishment ought to be first in receiving it.

• Integrity in the details. Those who show integrity in the little things of life will typically display it in the bigger things as well.

• Kindness to the weak. Our true measure of kindness is shown in how we treat those who will never repay us.

• Love for enemies. It takes a special type of person to extend love towards those who treat us unjustly.

• Perseverance in failure. We will all at some point face failure. Successes are those who get back up and try again.

•

Respect for authority.

• Responsibility for mistake. Only those who can admit their mistakes have the opportunity to learn from them.

The ultimate question we need to ask ourselves on a daily basis is: have you defined goals and action items in order to be successful and if you don’t believe that you are successful or on the road to success what can you do today to change that?

Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood Dentists, Dr. Douglas Lin, Dr. Shailan Patel and Dr. Francis Cruz and all the dental staff at Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood are committed to providing you with the personalized, high quality dental care that you deserve. They offer patients a comprehensive list of general, restorative and cosmetic dental services designed to meet the needs of the entire family. Their goal is to assist each patient in achieving and maintaining long-term dental health and an attractive smile.

As a practice, the staff and dentists at Hercules Dental Care are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. They strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care.” That’s why they focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams and taking x-rays when necessary. Not only are they focused on the beauty of your smile; they’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help them stay informed of your overall health, any new medications and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

As your dental health professionals, you’ll be confident knowing the dentists and staff is a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. In order to give you the

best possible service and results, they are committed to continual education and learning. They attend dental lectures, meetings and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care.

Serving Brentwood area patients includes providing information that helps patients make more informed decisions about their oral health needs and the dental treatments they are receiving.

In addition, Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood is uncompromising when it comes to your safety. As such, infection control in the Brentwood office is very important. To protect patients and themselves, they strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes recommended by the ADA, OSHA and the CDC. And a couple of other really great features that set them apart are, first, the dental video page on their website. It contains a library of videos related to the dental procedures and treatment options they offer, so you’ll know exactly what to expect from your procedure. Next, their online appointment request form helps making your appointment a breeze and, finally, should a dental emergency occur, the doctors will make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

At Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood, they know that building a foundation of trust by treating patients as special individuals is vital to their success. They understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how they can make a difference

in providing a relaxing and positive experience. So, the entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

TESTIMONIALS I have been here three times and each time is a pleasure from the moment I am greeted by the front desk to all the people who take care of me. The staff is wonderful! I’m generally afraid to go to the dentist but not here! – Susan P., Brentwood It was the best dental experience I ever had! – Jack M., Brentwood The team at Hercules Dental in Brentwood are extremely professional, courteous and just downright AWESOME! – Robin R., Brentwood

Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood is located at 3120 Balfour Rd. Ste. D in Brentwood. You can find them on the web at HDCBrentwood.com or call 925-634-4040 to speak to a friendly and helpful staff member.

March 2018 Hercules Dental Care For their exemplary customer service, The Monthly Grapevine is pleased to announce Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood as this month’s Pick of the Vine.

From The Desk Of...

The CEO

Boost Social Engagement With Current Print Advertising Print and digital don’t have to be the bitter enemies that are portrayed in “e-reader vs. paper book” debates. Put your print materials to work for your digital campaign with the following suggestions: • Launch a hashtag campaign, which will invite users to create their own content.

Hashtag campaigns are great when you want to start a buzz. They’re also easy to track and you can throw the hashtag on any of your print advertising. Just make sure someone else isn’t already using the hashtag for their own branded campaign or social awareness movement!

• Find out where your target market spends their offline time and advertise there. Don’t say so much on your print

ads that viewers can find out all they want to know about you without ever getting online. Tease just enough information to show that you deal with a topic of interest to them. Then direct them to your web presence to learn more.

• Use car magnets on your business vehicle and/or personal vehicle to advertise your company while you’re on the road. Since conciseness is key, feature web addresses and Twitter handles on these materials.

In addition to print, there are other ways to bring the offline world online: • Keep your logo, voice, and design consistent across every platform, so that you become recognizable anywhere.

• Create an event or project and invite attendees to track it on Twitter and Instagram with a special hashtag.

Print isn’t dead, and it probably won’t be any time soon. If you try to outrun the world’s progress toward digital conversion by moving your business exclusively to online interactions, much of your potential audience will miss your advertising, and you will lose out on important opportunities for growth. Plus, a printed ad never has to be switched on or recharged! Paper-based reading stimulates emotions, drives sensory involvement, provides more focused attention and is preferred by the majority of people and consumers trust print ads more than any other channel. Take advantage of promotional offers on print advertising to achieve maximum effectiveness in your business.

Call us today to hear more about how The Monthly Grapevine can help your business!

• Put QR codes — or their newer alternative, clickable paper, which is a powerful, interactive solution that combines the online and offline worlds together.

• Mention at your location that you’re on Mogl, Foursquare, or similar sites, so customers can get online rewards for visiting you.

Sonya North is the CEO and Editor of the Monthly Grapevine. She has over 18 years of Publishing and Management Experience.
