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, conservative cosmetic enhancements. OC SkinLab’s spa oasis, BeautyLab, also reflects Dr. Hure’s and her aesthetician’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’s also a regular contributing physician expert on live news shows and mainstream print and online media. 

Dr. Hure contributes OC SkinLab’s success to her sincere desire to spend more time with her patients, cultivate relationships and give unbiased education. 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, neurotoxin and filler injectables and chemical peels are delivered in a relaxed and supportive 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 is an involved member of the community, acting as a trusted source of COVID-19 information during the height of the pandemic and spending weekends volunteering to vaccinate the most vulnerable populations in the county, collecting medications and supplies from the community to send to Ukraine, 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.

Elite Vein Institute

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

Take care of your leg health today!
People suffering from the harmful effects, discomfort and insightfulness of spider and varicose veins have discovered extraordinary results at Dr. Luhan’s Elite Vein Institute. 

Do you have unsightly spider veins?
Spider veins are small, bluish veins seen on various areas of the legs and occasionally the face. They can resemble a bruise in appearance. They can be very unsightly and can cause self-consciousness. After careful treatment, Dr. Luhan’s patients are often happily wearing shorts again. 

Do you experience discomfort, ankle swelling, heavy legs or varicose 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. 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. 

Dr. Luhan’s practice offers a comprehensive approach correcting multiple causes of vein disorders and helps restore the look and health of every patient’s leg, whether the issue is cosmetic or health-related. 

Procedures can be performed without invasive anesthesia and require little down time. Procedures are often covered by Medicare and other insurance companies. As a faculty member of national phlebology organizations, Dr. Luhan is always at the forefront of the latest technologies in the treatment of vein problems. For many patients, receiving treatment is life-altering, enabling them to now lead active, productive lives that were once not possible. 

Dr. Anne Luhan is certified by the American Board of General Surgery, the American Board of Surgical Critical Care, the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine and the American Board of Woundcare Management. Having passed these prestigious boards shows full commitment to the treatment of venous disease. With these credentials and expertise, it’s no wonder that Dr. Luhan’s patients put their full trust in her hands.

What is the latest and best thing that we can do to help the sick, the ill, and the injured? What can we do to keep these old bodies functioning like 24-year-olds?”

His practice has used stem cells and regenerative medicine to significantly heal patients suffering from ALS, Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Chronic Pain, Strokes and Traumatic Brain Injury, Heart Disease and Cerebral Palsy.

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 43 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 now, 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!

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 over 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.

Cold Rush Wellness

SCOTT YOUNG, D.C.

Dr. Scott Young and his talented team at Cold Rush Wellness have been working diligently over the past six and a half years, performing various cutting-edge treatments. The facility offers the health benefits of whole body cryostimulation, local cryostimulation, salt cave therapy and chiropractic care. Patients are also experiencing dramatic health improvements through Dr. Young’s highly touted, AlphaSwitch Wellness Program. Visit ColdRushWellness. com to learn more about the Program and for life-changing testimonials from his patients.

While COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into 2020, Cold Rush Wellness is proud to have remained open, continuing to treat patients with new safety protocols in place. In fact, many of Cold Rush Wellness’s services assist in boosting the immune system. Whole body cryostimulation works to reduce inflammation throughout the body which accelerates the healing process. The extreme cold environment triggers the body’s “fight or flight” response, serving as a catalyst for white blood cell production and subsequent activation of the immune system to fight infection and reduce stress hormone or cortisol levels.

Salt cave therapy treatment was developed by doctors in Krakow, Poland, who noticed that salt miners rarely became ill with colds or flu. After much study, they concluded that the health benefits derived from breathing in micro-particles of salt were beneficial to the lungs and overall immune system. Salt cave therapy is known to treat weak immune systems, chronic or acute respiratory tract inflammation, coughing and wheezing, sinus issues, bronchitis, allergies, asthma, and more.

With patients’ health and well-being as the facility’s number one priority, the staff at Cold Rush Wellness is focused on providing a safe and clean environment. Special UVB lights are turned on throughout the clinic every night which kill all bacteria and viruses living on surfaces.

Safety Precautions in Place
• Staff wears masks
• Tables are regularly wiped down
• Linens are washed after every use
• UVB sanitization lights
• Well ventilated practice environment

Cold Rush Wellness’s other treatments include: Whole Body Cryotherapy, Local Cryotherapy, CryoFacials, Chiropractic Care, Massage and AlphaSwitch Metabolic Training. If you feel that you or someone you know can directly benefit from the health services this treatment program provides, give Cold Rush Wellness a call and make the transformative appointment today.
