Peak Recovery

R. TYLER JOHNSON, DC, CCSP

Healing • Performance • Longevity
For nearly two decades, R. Tyler Johnson, DC, CCSP, has helped athletes, active adults and families in San Clemente recover from injuries, move better and stay active. Today, that mission has expanded into something bigger.

At PEAK Recovery, the focus is built around three connected goals: Healing, Performance and Longevity — helping people recover more effectively, function at a higher level and stay active for years to come.

PEAK brings together advanced technologies that support the body’s natural ability to heal and recover.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen availability in a pressurized environment, helping support tissue repair, circulation, recovery and cellular function. It is used by athletes and active adults, but also by people simply looking to support healing, brain health and overall wellness.

Whole-Body Red Light Therapy uses multiple wavelengths of red and nearinfrared light to support mitochondrial function and cellular energy. PEAK’s highpowered full-body system is designed to deliver a therapeutic dose across the entire body, supporting recovery, circulation, helping relieve muscle soreness, skin health and resilience.

For persistent tendon, muscle and soft-tissue problems, Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate a healing response. PEAK offers both focused and radial shockwave technologies, commonly used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis or pickleball elbow, shoulder pain and chronic tendinopathies.

High-Power PEMF uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate tissues and support cellular activity, circulation, mobility and recovery, providing another powerful tool for areas that need deeper, targeted support.

Sports chiropractic remains an important part of PEAK’s foundation, while additional therapies including hot/cold contrast, lymphatic compression, molecular hydrogen and vibroacoustic therapy allow care to be tailored to each individual.

Whether the goal is recovering from an injury, performing better, staying active or simply aging well, PEAK Recovery is designed to give the body better resources to heal better, perform better and live longer.

Hawkley Orthodontics

PEHRSON HAWKLEY, DDS

CREATING HEALTHY SMILES WITH PRECISION, EXPERIENCE AND A PERSONAL TOUCH
A beautiful smile can build confidence that lasts a lifetime. At Hawkley Orthodontics, board-certified orthodontist Dr. Pehrson Hawkley combines advanced training, modern technology and a personalized approach to create healthy, confident smiles for children, teens and adults.

A FOUNDATION OF EXCELLENCE
Dr. Hawkley earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, where he was elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society. Upon graduation, he was also recognized by the American College of Dentists for his potential for future contributions and service to the
profession.

Following dental school, Dr. Hawkley began his career with the U.S. Air Force, completing advanced education in general dentistry before serving as a general dentist. He later returned to USC for three years of specialty training in orthodontics, then served as an Air Force orthodontist before establishing Hawkley Orthodontics.

CARE DESIGNED AROUND THE PATIENT
For Dr. Hawkley, successful orthodontic treatment begins with understanding the individual behind the smile. Each treatment plan is customized around the patient’s needs, lifestyle and goals, whether it’s a child beginning orthodontic care, a teenager getting braces or an adult pursuing the smile they’ve always wanted.

The practice offers Invisalign clear aligners, traditional and ceramic braces and contemporary orthodontic technology. For patients with complex jaw alignment concerns, Dr. Hawkley also works with oral and maxillofacial surgeons when surgical treatment is appropriate.

MORE THAN STRAIGHT TEETH
Dr. Hawkley believes orthodontics goes beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth and bites can contribute to healthy function, while a smile patients feel good about can have a meaningful impact on confidence. That combination of health, function and self-assurance is at the heart of the Hawkley Orthodontics experience.

Sea Summit Dentistry

Modern Dentistry Built Around You

Why is the dentist only open while you’re supposed to be at work? Modern life is busier, more hectic and more stressful than ever, which is why Sea Summit Dentistry provides access to dental care when patients need it. The dental office is open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. By rethinking how and when dental care is offered, Dr. Jacobs hopes to make a positive impact on patients throughout South Orange County.

Emergency Visits — Even on Weekends
To better serve the San Clemente community, Sea Summit Dentistry accepts emergency appointments until 9 p.m. every night, including weekends. Feedback from patients, friends and neighbors indicates that this has become an invaluable local resource.

Dental emergencies often strike at the worst possible time, which is why Dr. Jacobs and his team will stay as late as necessary to help get patients out of pain. The team often stays until midnight or later to complete emergency root canals and extractions, helping patients return to their daily routines the next morning.

Decades of Award-Winning Dentistry
Dr. Jacobs’ other dental practice, Riverside Center for Esthetic Dentistry, has been his pride and joy for more than 30 years. While Sea Summit Dentistry has only been open since January 2026, Dr. Jacobs brings decades of experience, along with awards and accolades from nationwide organizations.

A graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, his commitment to continuing education has helped him remain at the forefront of modern dental technology and techniques.

Elite Vein Institute

ANNE LUHAN, MD, FACS, ABVLM, RPHS, CWSP

HEALTHY LEGS. RENEWED CONFIDENCE.
Vein problems aren’t always simply cosmetic. Aching or heavy legs, swelling, cramping, restless legs and changes in the skin can all be associated with underlying venous disease. At Elite Vein Institute, Anne Luhan, MD, FACS, combines extensive surgical experience with specialized expertise in venous and lymphatic medicine to diagnose and treat conditions ranging from tiny spider veins to complex varicose veins and venous ulcers.

LOOKING BENEATH THE SURFACE
Venous insufficiency occurs when valves within the veins are no longer functioning properly, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the legs. While visible veins can be one sign, some patients experience symptoms without obvious varicose veins on the surface. Elite Vein Institute uses noninvasive venous ultrasound to identify problem veins beneath the skin and help determine an individualized treatment plan.

Today’s treatments offer alternatives to the more invasive vein procedures of the past. Depending on the condition, options at Elite Vein Institute include endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy and Varithena injectable foam. These minimally invasive, officebased approaches are designed to close or treat unhealthy veins so blood can naturally redirect to healthier ones.

EXPERIENCE WITH A PERSONAL APPROACH
Dr. Luhan is board-certified in general surgery, surgical critical care and venous and lymphatic medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Ulm in Germany, she completed a research semester at Harvard University, a general surgery residency at the University of Arizona and fellowship training in intensive care and trauma surgery at UC Irvine Medical Center, building the foundation for her specialized approach to vein care.

That extensive surgical background now informs a practice devoted to vein health. Each patient receives an individualized care plan, with treatments performed in the office and an emphasis on minimizing discomfort and downtime.

For Dr. Luhan, successful vein treatment is about more than addressing a medical condition. Improving leg health can also mean restoring comfort, mobility and the confidence to show off your legs again.
