Since opening in 2014, Dr. Sonya Murray and Dr. Kenneth Pierce have joined the team of Urgent Care providers. Together with Dr. Jairam, they are bringing the art of customer service back to the practice of medicine. With the recent closure of San Clemente’s hospital, Hybrid MD is now open 7 days a week. This makes access to excellent medical care easy, even on weekends. It is also one of few Urgent Care practices in the area where you will always be seen by a Board Certified Physician.

Within the last 2 years, Hybrid MD has taken a very active role in integrating itself into the local community. The staff routinely participates in events at 24-hour fitness, Orange Theory Fitness, Vista Del Mar Elementary School and San Clemente High School to name a few. Becoming a household name for excellent medical care in the area is fast becoming a reality for this young medical practice.

The much awaited opening of Avenida La Pata has made access to Hybrid MD a breeze for the the neighborhoods of San Juan Capistrano, Rancho Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch. There is no need to get on the 5 freeway, the practice is just a short 5 mile drive over the hill. In fact, Dr. Jairam lives in Rancho Mission Viejo and routinely has neighbors drive over for treatment.

So whether you are looking to be seen for a sore throat, work-related injury, forehead wrinkles or laser hair removal, Hybrid MD has something to offer everyone.

Stay tuned for the addition of more services within the coming months as Hybrid MD continues to grow within the neighborhoods of South Orange County!

The Vein Clinic at Elite Medizin

ANNE LUHOAN, MD, FACS

How do your legs look? How are your legs feeling? Do you have heavy, achy, itchy or restless legs at the end of the day? Do you see bulging veins across your legs or feet? Have you noticed unsightly spider veins?

If so, you may be one of 80 million Americans who are plagued with varicose veins and may not even realize you have them. Why suffer needlessly when treatment is just around the corner at Dr. Anne Luhan’s office in Dana Point. Her clinical expertise focuses on the full spectrum of treating venous disorders and most procedures are covered by Medicare and major insurance companies.

Many who have experienced varicose veins believe they are simply a cosmetic issue that is more of a nuisance than a genuine medical concern. The fact is that varicose veins are a massively underdiagnosed and undertreated problem that can progress into a more serious medical condition, if not addressed properly. Dr. Luhan is making it her mission to educate patients and the community about varicose veins.

Once a patient learns that they are a candidate for the cutting edge treatments that deliver maximum results with minimal pain, they are elated to finally have a solution to their nagging problem. Dr. Luhan is able to offer patients an in-office procedure requiring no anesthesia, minimal downtime and no scarring.

The latest technologies include the Venaseal glue closure system which offers no need for compression stockings, no needle sticks and the treatment of multiple large veins at once.

For many patients, receiving treatment is life-altering, enabling them to now lead active, productive lives that were once not possible.

On the cosmetic side, Elite Medizin and Veins is offering the full scope of vein treatments including leg, face and hand veins and uses the latest ultrasound and vein light guided methods to treatspider veins with optimal results.

Dr. Anne Luhan is certified by the American Board of General Surgery, the American Board of Surgical Critical Care as well as by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. With these credentials and expertise, it’s no wonder that Dr. Luhan’s patients put their full trust in her hands.

Monarch Veterinary Hospital

GLENN CRAFT, DVM AND KELLY ALCALA, DVM

Monarch Veterinary Hospital sits nestled among the hills of south Laguna Niguel on Niguel Road in Clubhouse Plaza. This cozy, residential area is filled with pet owners who love and care for their furry friends like members of the family. Local pet lovers truly appreciate a facility like Monarch Veterinary Hospital that not only provides exceptional healthcare, but creates long-lasting, trusting relationships with their clients and treats them like family.

Dr. Glenn Craft and his wife, Lisa, first envisioned operating such a facility when they returned home after spending 4 years serving in Thailand with Christian Veterinary Mission/World Concern, a community development NGO that operates in the poorest parts of the world. A husband and wife team since 1987, the Crafts were convinced when they returned to Orange County that they could establish a high-end practice that balanced a personal touch with exceptional, high-tech, full-service veterinary medicine without compromising on the level of care they provide. Hence, Monarch Veterinary Hospital opened its doors in September 2002.

Monarch Veterinary Hospital offers the expanse of veterinary medicine from wellness checkups and dental care, to internal medicine, dermatology, therapeutic laser therapy, pain management and general surgeries. In 2016, it upgraded to the latest equipment in ultrasound and digital radiography (X-ray).

The key members on Monarch’s team all have over 15 years of professional experience and most have worked with Dr. Craft for over 10 years. Dr. Craft also has developed strong working relationships with chosen specialists in the area to refer to when needed in areas of practice such as ophthalmology, neurology and orthopedic surgery.

In 2015, Dr. Kelly Alcala joined the staff at the hospital as an Associate. She brings with her an impressive reputation and she and Dr. Craft are very like-minded in how they practice medicine and communicate with clients. Dr. Alcala has worked part-time at the hospital since 2006, and now that the practice has grown, she is on staff full-time.

The goal at Monarch Veterinary Hospital is to deliver a personalized experience that exceeds the pet owner’s expectations at each and every visit. The staff has made a commitment to do just that and takes a lot of pride in accomplishing it with every pet owner that comes through the door, each and every day.
