BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Heard of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)? Do you have symptoms of hormone imbalance such as fatigue, low libido, foggy thinking, loss of muscle mass, increased fat tissue, intolerance to exercise, and depression?

Hormones can have an effect on your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. BioTE’s bio-identical hormone replacement therapy comes in the form of subcutaneous pellets. Rather than using synthetic hormones, try a more natural way with a custom-compounded pellet unique to each patient’s physiology. There is now a solution to keep your hormone levels more consistent throughout the day.

Not only do patients enjoy the benefits of increased stamina, libido, astuteness and muscle mass, there are several medical benefits to BHRT. Multiple white papers confirm less heart disease, less diabetes, stronger bones, and decreased risk of Alzheimer’s. BioTE Medical administers BHRT pellets to maintain optimal hormone levels in both men and women.

Rather than taking daily medications, a BioTE patient only needs to get two to four pellet insertions per year to see a difference. Pellet insertion also helps prevent the rollercoaster-like effects patients receive as there is a more consistent administration of hormones.

One of the largest benefits of BHRT pellets over traditional pellets is that the hormones within BHRT pellets are structurally the same as naturally occurring human hormones. In addition to this, BHRT pellets are plant derived and can be found in nature. This means that the hormones used in BHRT pellet therapy are more natural in comparison to other options such as synthetic pellets. If utilizing natural hormones wasn’t enough, BHRT pellets also release these hormones on a more consistent basis. This allows for the body to absorb the hormones in a more beneficial way rather than having to suffer from the inconsistencies of pills and patches.

Dr. Bourget has administered bio-identical hormones for several years but avoided using pellets due to the large range of results she noted amongst patients. She became a certified BioTe provider because she knew the reputation BioTe carried. BioTe delivers a product that is known for only 0.3% variability and uses a dosing algorithm that takes the guess work out of properly dosing patients. If you are struggling with any of the above symptoms or are interested in learning more about BioTe, please call Dr. Bourget’s office at (949) 429-8760 and make an appointment.

ORANGE COUNTY SKINLAB

OC SkinLab has continued to garner top reviews and accolades in Orange County for patient satisfaction, and their unique approach to medical, surgical and aesthetic dermatology. Dr. Michelle Hure started OC SkinLab to provide dermatology and dermatopathology services in a warm and approachable environment. Her emphasis has always been on education, overall skin health, skin cancer prevention and individualized but conservative cosmetic enhancements. The creation of OC SkinLab’s spa oasis, BeautyLab, also reflects Dr. Hure’s and her nurse/aesthetician, Suzanne’s, desire to filter out all the hype and damaging spa facial services out there to provide a menu of safe aesthetic treatments.

Dr. Hure trained at Yale-New Haven Health System and the University of Massachusetts and is also board certified in dermatopathology, which gives her the unique tools to accurately diagnose and treat a wide range of dermatologic conditions in patients of all ages. She is also an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Dermatology at UC Irvine, where she lends her expertise on complicated dermatopathology cases and teaches the residents and medical students. Her dedication and skill have been recognized within the community by again being voted “Best Overall Healthcare Provider” in San Juan Capistrano by The Capistrano Dispatch’s Best of 2018 and runner up “Best Spa” for BeautyLab.

Dr. Hure contributes OC SkinLab’s success to her sincere desire to spend more time with her patients and cultivate relationships. Having been in a large practice prior, Dr. Hure dreamed of having the freedom to design an office that centered around optimal patient care and satisfaction.

In addition to her robust medical and surgical practice, Dr. Hure ensures that all non-invasive cosmetic treatments, including hair restoration, microneedling, PRP injections, Botox and filler injectables and chemical peels are delivered in a relaxed environment where the emphasis is always centered around natural-looking results and are exclusively performed by her.

As a resident of San Juan Capistrano and Chamber of Commerce member, Dr. Hure seeks to be an involved member of the community whether she’s routinely passing out sunscreen at the Swallow’s Day Parade or offering free skin cancer screenings for all active first responders (including firefighters, police, EMS and lifeguards) in town. In the coming months, Dr. Hure will also be spending her free time in a mobile dermatology clinic providing free skin cancer screenings for the uninsured of Orange County.

Monarch Veterinary Hospital

GLENN CRAFT, DVM, KELLY ALCALA, DVM, AND STACY BAUMANN, DVM

Monarch Veterinary Hospital was established in 2002 into Clubhouse Plaza on Niguel Road, tucked in the Hills of South Laguna Niguel. Pet owners in this community love to take their dogs for long walks down the canyon to Salt Creek or Dana Point Harbor, or to the many local parks. MVH is known for exceptional pet healthcare, building long-lasting, trusting relationships with clients, and keeping the culture of the practice such that it is non-chaotic, peaceful, and a place their pets enjoy visiting.

The recent completion of a year-long expansion project has doubled MVH’s space, assuring its practice culture for the future. It now offers 4 exam rooms, a spacious, peaceful lobby, a full-service grooming area, and room to accommodate what it calls “senior spa days” to keep the aged pets strong and active.

Dr. Glenn Craft and his wife, Lisa, envisioned just such a facility when they returned home to California after spending 4 years serving in Thailand with Christian Veterinary Mission, a community development NGO that operates in the poorest parts of the world where livestock is the main key to the local economy. Once home, by working together, they have established a veterinary practice that balances compassionate personal touch with exceptional high-tech veterinary medicine, without compromising a high standard of care. The hospital continues to offer the full range of veterinary professional services from wellness checks, immunizations, general surgery, dental care, therapeutic laser, ultrasound, as well as digital radiography with STAT radiology consults available. The staff at MVH is deeply experienced and provides a level of expertise you can trust.

Four years ago, Dr. Kelly Alcala became an Associate DVM at MVH and brings with her an impressive reputation of being very compassionate and highly competent. A year ago, Dr. Stacy Baumann became an Associate DVM as well, with a 20-year history of practice in Orange County. These doctors, along with Dr. Craft, are very like-minded in practice, and in their communication style with clients. All 3 doctors have established strong relationships with carefully chosen specialists at facilities in South Orange County, including a cardiologist, Dr. Fred Brewer, who comes to the practice whenever he is needed, and Dr. Shenandoah Diehl, who is available for expert ultrasonography and consultation.

From the beginning, Monarch Veterinary Hospital’s goal has been to deliver a personal experience that exceeds the pet owner’s expectations at each and every visit. MVH’s consistently positive reviews exemplify its commitment to delivering quality care and the staff takes pride in providing the best customer service possible.

Pediatric Dentistry

NHU Q. TRAN, DDS, APC

Dr. Nhu Q. Tran has been taking care of “sugar bugs” on kids’ teeth in San Clemente for almost fifteen years. Her number one goal is to provide optimal dental care, in a gentle and caring manner to all her patients. Dr. Tran enjoys treating a wide age range of patients who visit her pediatric dental practice. 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. Whether a child is excited to have their teeth “counted and brushed” or they are nervous about seeing “Mr. Slurpy” and “Mr. Thirsty,” Dr. Tran and her team strive to provide every child 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. Furthermore, she spent five years as the Pediatric Dental Residency Director at the Children’s Dental Health Clinic at Miller Children’s Hospital, in Long Beach. Dr. Tran’s involvement in academia enables her to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for her patients. She recently decided to step away from her role as director to spend more time with her family and her private practice. So, 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 1 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.

She has more than 20 years of experience with facial injectables and lasers and is a national trainer and a true master of the art of facial rejuvenation.

Free 3D Facial Imaging Consultations

Global Facial Rejuvenation Approach
To achieve a natural, youthful look, Dr. Kofford takes a conservative, yet global approach to volumize and restore what time takes away. She starts with rebuilding a foundation deep below the skin to reconstruct volume loss and laser resurfacing, as needed. Next, Dr. Kofford contours soft tissue areas such as the cheeks and tear troughs to restore the central face. Finally, she refines lines and wrinkles, creating 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!

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 42 years, and now in its second generation, Sea View Pharmacy in San Clemente has served the community through decades of sweeping changes in healthcare 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 Eugene now owns and runs the day-to-day operations, along with Eugene’s wife Jennifer (when she’s not chasing after three busy kids!). 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 professional, Medley finds gratification in knowing his business caters to a particular niche in the marketplace. “We can devote more time to customer service than 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 for both women and men, 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!

Trestles Chiropractic

STRUCTURAL CORRECTION – THERAPEUTIC LASER

Dr. Anderson has been serving the community of San Clemente for the past six years. His unique approach to Structural Correction has allowed him to guide his patients back to optimal health without the need for invasive measures. Rather than focusing on just the symptoms, Dr. Anderson utilizes specific examination tools that allow him to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause. This is key to achieving lasting results and truly allowing the body to do its job of healing itself.

More and more, people are looking to avoid addictive pain killers. Studies have shown that chiropractic care has a better long-term result for treating low back pain than both prescription and over the counter pain meds.

Trestles Chiropractic is always striving to utilize the most current and up to date technologies. While reviewing the need for additional options for patients with more extensive soft tissue injuries, Dr. Anderson brought a Class IV Aspen Laser into the practice. This has expanded his ability to aide those who are trying to avoid surgery by stimulating a natural process of healing at an accelerated rate.

This past March, Dr. Anderson moved Trestles Chiropractic into a brand-new facility across from the old hospital. So much work has gone into creating this state-of-the-art experience for his patients. From new adjusting benches to fully digital X-ray, this has become the ultimate resource in restoring proper function to the spine and nervous system for all who are in need of care.

Dr. Anderson believes in the power of a strong community. He, his wife, and two children live in San Clemente. He has volunteered with local youth and is currently supporting the high school football team. You may still have one of the awesome rally towels. Dr. Anderson graduated from the Southern California University of Health Sciences and is a Board Certified Chiropractor.

Dr. Anderson always offers complimentary consultations prior to offering chiropractic care. Call to schedule your appointment today.
