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.

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.

Tyler Johnson, DC, CCSP

CHIROPRACTIC CENTER

2019 marks Dr. Tyler Johnson’s 12th year serving the people of San Clemente and South Orange County. “I have always strived to provide the kind of care I would want for myself or a member of my family,” shares Dr. Tyler. This principle drives him to not only focus on improving his clinical skills in helping people heal and recover from injuries, but he also places a special emphasis on treating people fairly.

“Helping people get out of pain and back to doing the things they love to do, or need to do, is only part of the job. As much as I would like to say it isn’t so, there is a small percentage of people who I may not be able to help, but treating patients fairly is something I feel I should accomplish with every single patient,” adds Dr. Johnson. “This means listening to their goals and recommending care that will help them reach those goals. It means being straight forward about costs, and having affordable rates when people are uninsured or underinsured. It means being a doctor, not a salesman. And it means continually improving on the skills necessary to help people get better.”

An honors graduate of the Southern California University of Health Sciences, Dr. Johnson is certified in the Gonstead chiropractic method and holds a post doctoral certification as a Chiropractic Sports Practitioner. “With my first exposure to chiropractic coming as a result of the myriad of sports injuries I obtained as a college athlete, I wanted to be able to bring the knowledge and expertise college and professional athletes receive, to the people of my community,” explains Dr. Johnson. “San Clemente is the perfect setting for this type of Sports and Family Practice. It’s not a stretch to say San Clemente is a very active community and our weather and coastline allow for a wide variety of year-round outdoor activities. Working in an active community allows me to work with athletes at all levels while also maintaining my passion for working with families.”

From seasoned professionals, to weekend warriors, babies to grandparents, Dr. Johnson has the knowledge, skill, and compassion that truly make him a doctor to consider for all of your chiropractic needs.

Bistro Provincia

Fusion Cuisine & Bar

By Dina Scaglione

When you envision the landscape of Dana Point restaurants, you might conjure up images of California cuisine, seafood eateries and lively pubs. Bistro Provincia offers a departure from the Dana Point dining scene you may be accustomed to, serving up an elegant, yet exotic culinary experience that’s difficult to put in the proverbial box.

Unique and flavorful best describes Bistro Provincia’s fusion cuisine, inspired by Executive Chef Manuel ‘Manny’ Diaz, who brings a multi-ethnic bistro-type flair, cultivated from years of cooking alongside French chefs in Los Angeles. Chef Manny’s wife and co-owner, Veronica, greets guests with a genuine warmth and charm, adding to the many ingredients that have made Bistro Provincia a go-to spot in the quaint Lantern District area of Dana Point.

Bistro Provincia delivers an interesting blend of Asian, Latin and French dishes, prepared tapas-style and as hearty, large plates. Whether you prefer to dine al fresco, perched at the marble ensconced bar or seated in the rustic dining area, there’s an inviting ambience and range of fare to suit the most discerning guests.

I became an instant fan after sampling the restaurant’s Caribbean Shrimp and Mango Tostaditas, featuring roasted wild shrimp, fresh mango, red onion and a healthy dollop of lime-cilantro aioli served up on crispy blue corn chips. I also highly recommend the Chicken Curry Lumpia with jidori chicken and veggies, rolled and lightly fried atop a tangy coriander-curry dipping sauce. If you want a truly different dish, try the wok sautéed rice noodles and duck entrée, with flat rice noodles and tender ginger-roasted duck, sautéed baby bok choy and sprinkled tangy dried cranberries. Another brilliant blend of flavors is the Lemongrass Jidori Chicken Breast, with aromatic lemongrass accompanied by vegetable Thai curry fried rice and bok choy. Cap off your meal with the Yin-Yang, Bistro Provincia’s signature dessert; a moist, dark chocolate cake topped with a delicate Chantilly butter cream frosting.

Situated in Dana Point’s Park Plaza, tucked between PCH and Golden Lantern, Bistro Provincia is open Tuesday through Sunday for both lunch and dinner. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 4 to 9 p.m. (5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday). Choose from a wide assortment of adult beverages, including hand crafted cocktails, draft beer and wine. Stop in for Tapas Hour: early tapas from 4 to 6 p.m. or late-night tapas from 8 p.m. until closing.

Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery

By Victoria Kertz

Are you considering cosmetic surgery? What was once a private topic of conversation amongst only your best girlfriends is now the subject of reality shows and open discussions at the water cooler. Tummy tucks and nose jobs have become routine procedures, but modern definitions of beauty have redefined cosmetic surgery to meet the desires of today’s clientele.

Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery offers the latest in surgical and non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedures to keep OC housewives and their husbands looking great. Dr. Ali Roham combines medicine and art, bringing his surgical expertise to both Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery locations: in the South Coast Plaza-area, and in San Clemente, where Dr. Roham calls home. “I love San Clemente,” he says, “The beach lifestyle is very laid back.” What are the most requested procedures? Dr. Roham says that breast augmentations and liposuction are common at his San Clemente practice and that tummy tucks and Brazilian butt lifts are popular at the South Coast-area office. A large portion of his practice is also focused on rhinoplasty, various facial enhancements and both cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures.

The proliferation of social media and selfies have created demand from those seeking to diminish their perceived flaws. In the age of quick fixes, however, Dr. Roham cautions against claims made by those without the experience or expertise to deliver realistic results. Exaggerated claims and miracle cures should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. In contrast, Dr. Roham prides himself on offering patients an honest, thoughtful assessment of expectations.

Patients appreciate the time Dr. Roham takes during consultations… listening to their concerns and addressing surgical options to achieve a tailored approach. Dr. Roham is very honest with his patients, and it’s important to him that his results appear balanced and natural. He believes that being conservative creates a more appealing aesthetic, instead of what he describes as a wind-swept look, that sometimes results from being overly aggressive.

To maintain a fresh and rested appearance, Dr. Roham’s practice also offers all of the newest options in non-invasive therapies, including injectables, lasers and topical treatments. The reduction of fine lines, a more even skin tone, the removal of veins and unwanted hair are all within reach and with minimal to no down time.

Dr. Roham has an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Irvine and a medical degree from Midwestern University in Arizona. Having completed five years of comprehensive general surgery at Michigan’s Henry Ford Health System and three years in the Plastic and Reconstructive Residency at Beaumont Health System, he has a wealth of knowledge that lends to his area of expertise. He also served as administrative chief of the residency in his final year on both campuses. Dr. Roham also spent time on a mission in India, performing cleft palate surgeries and reconstructive procedures on burn victims.

If you’re contemplating cosmetic/plastic surgery or a non-invasive procedure, then contact the offices of Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery — open six days a week, including Saturday hours at the South Coast Plaza location. Dr. Roham says his staff works hard to make sure the doctors are scheduled when their patients need them. “We always strive to see patients quickly,” he says. With that kind of customer service and Dr. Roham’s expertise, you have every reason to call for a complimentary consultation.

Sweat House OC

By Victoria Kertz

Fit Pilates changed their name to Sweat House OC, but they’ve got the same owners, trainers and heart-pumping workouts on the renown Megaformer.

Pilates is one serious exercise and some of the best bodies you’ll ever see are the result of it. Traditionally conducted on a machine called a reformer, Pilates uses resistance-based movements to create a full-body workout combining strength and cardio. But that’s so last year.

Sweat House OC (formerly Fit Pilates) offers the ultra-modern Megaformer, a spring-based machine that can be modified for any exercise or body type. “The method is high intensity yet low impact, which means safe on your joints and bones,” says Sweat House owner Ashlyn Ritchie.

Besides being an amazing workout, Sweat House trainers know your time is precious, so no time is wasted. “We get our cardio through our quick transitions. There is no ‘breaking’ during this quick 50 minute workout. We maximize our time by providing a time-under-tension workout… which will guarantee some serious calories burned!” Ritchie emphasizes.

With locations in San Clemente and Mission Viejo, each class is kept to eight people. “We structured this intentionally so all of our clients get the attention they need. Because we have new clients in almost every class, we want to make sure they are safe, doing the moves correctly,” she explains.

Even better, all classes are all-levels, so a new client can hop in on any of them. Private classes are available, but not required.

“Sweat House OC opened with the dream of creating a space for clients to not only burn some serious calories, but a place where they can feel safe, confident, build friendships and gain a sense of a supportive community,” she says. “Our goal is to accept every-BODY and encourage them to be their best selves. Whatever we can do to encourage that and assist in that, we will.”
