Sea View Pharmacy

DRS. EUGENE AND JENNIFER MEDLEY

Establishing a personal relationship with your neighborhood pharmacist is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of healthcare. Experienced and independent pharmacists serve as invaluable resources for a wide range of individuals, including parents, seniors, athletes, and anyone in need of trusted medical advice and consultations.

Sea View Pharmacy in San Clemente stands out as a family-owned and operated establishment with a rich history spanning 48 years and now in its second generation. This pharmacy has been a steadfast presence in the community, offering support through significant shifts in healthcare over the decades and is poised to continue serving local families in the years to come.

Eugene’s journey to pharmacy ownership took him through diverse experiences, including lifeguarding, animal husbandry, and teaching veterinary anatomy. His professional path ultimately led him to earn a doctorate degree in pharmacy and join his father in running the family business.

Sea View Pharmacy’s specialization in compounding allows them to offer customized therapies that may not be readily available in commercially-run stores. Eugene emphasizes that their focus on customer service surpasses that of larger corporate chains. They collaborate closely with physicians to create tailored treatments for individuals whose needs don’t align with standard, off-the-shelf medications. This includes specialized treatments for babies with digestive issues, hormone replacement for both women and men, veterinary patients, and those with unique dietary requirements.

As the only independent pharmacy in San Clemente, Sea View is the go-to destination for all medical equipment and supplies, even those that may be hard to find elsewhere. From bandages and braces to compression garments and wheelchairs, they aim to fulfill a wide range of healthcare needs. SeaViewPharmacy.com provides a wealth of information including drug profiles, healthy recipes, articles, and referrals.

DR. NHU Q. TRAN

Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Nhu Q. Tran has been taking care of infants, children, and young adults in her San Clemente pediatric dental practice for almost 20 years. Dr. Tran enjoys establishing lifelong relationships with her patients and their families. Her patients come from nearby neighborhoods and cities, and some come back to her practice even after they have moved away, like from Tustin and Temecula, or even states like Hawaii and Texas. Moreover, Dr. Tran is now excited to be seeing a second generation of patients in her practice, her patients’ children!

Dr. Tran enjoys treating a wide age range of patients who visit her pediatric dental practice. As a pediatric dental specialist, she sees patients for the first time at one-year-old. She has fun tickling the teeth of infants and toddlers who visit her for their first check up and cleaning. She also takes pride and care guiding a fearful child or teenager through a treatment and helping them overcome their dental fears. And because Dr. Tran is one of a very few pediatric dentist that has full time dental hygienists in her practice, she is able to continue providing optimal dental care to her older patients who want to continue seeing her into their late teens. So, whether a child is excited to have their teeth “counted and brushed” or they are nervous about seeing the “tickle toothbrush” or “Mr. Slurpy”, Dr. Tran and her team work to provide every patient with a fun and educational experience that they enjoy and look forward to each and every time.

A native of Southern California, Dr. Tran went to UC Berkeley for her undergraduate education, then relocated to the Midwest and attended Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio. Having graduated among the top of her class, she became a recipient of the Pierre Fauchard Scholarship, and earned a membership into the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. Following dental school, Dr. Tran returned to Southern California to pursue two years of additional post-doctorate training in pediatric dentistry, at the University of Southern California. After receiving her Advanced Pediatric Dental Certificate from USC, Dr. Tran pursued further advancement in her specialty by achieving the status of Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Aside from taking care of her private patients, Dr. Tran has given back to her Trojan roots by being a part of the USC Advanced Pediatric Dentistry Faculty since 2006.

Whether you see Dr. Tran in the office or on the baseball field rooting on her boys, be sure to say hello! And whether your child is one or 16, excited or nervous, healthy or has special health care needs, Dr. Tran and her team are trained and ready to provide the best care for your children.
