Whew...well
that year went by quickly! We hope our
holiday newsletter finds you and your
family in good health. Since we last
checked in, my new associate, Dr.
Ornelas, is in full stride after
officially joining the practice in
August. Her addition has allowed us to
treat additional patients and spread the
word more effectively about maintaining
healthy feet. To that end, Dr. Ornelas
has made personal appearances around
Long Beach speaking to various groups.
Our ‘Open House’ in November was a huge
success. The new Wound Healing and
Hyperbaric Center at Los Alamitos
Medical Center opened in late November
and we’re seeing more patients every
week. On a personal note, the
ridiculously gorgeous Tucy, continues to
charm everyone from Laguna to Los
Angeles. There should be a law against
being that cute and smart.
This
time of year we often reflect on the
previous 12 months and I have to say,
two thumbs up, 2011.
Let’s all get ready for a GREAT 2012
(and that includes UCLA Football and
Basketball teams)!!
Medical colleagues, family and
friends all came to our Open
House on Tuesday November 1. It
was a terrific way to introduce
Dr. Ornelas and touch base with
everyone.

UCLA Recognizes Pioneering
Soccer Squad
 |
|
The UCLA Women’s Soccer Program is recognized as one of
the country’s best. |
|
|
Dr. Vikki and her teammates were recognized November 7 at
halftime of the UCLA-USC soccer match in front of 3,500 fans
at Drake Stadium. "We were a club team because women's soccer
did not become a NCAA sport until 1982. The reunion was for
the 79-82 teams," Dr. Foley said. "We won the state cup in 79' and
went to the national tournament in 81' This national tournament
gave recognition to the sport and helped the NCAA decide to add
women’s soccer to its organization." |

Patient Glad About the VAD
Long Beach resident, Sue Dunyan makes no bones about it.
"I’m a BIG chicken, I don’t like needles." So imagine her delight when Dr. Foley offered an alternative to ease her
'needle-phobia' prior to her hammertoes operation.
"Sue was a perfect candidate for one of our newest instruments at the office, the Vibration Anesthesia Device (VAD)," said Dr. Foley. The VAD serves as an anesthetic, numbing the area and allowing for painless injections.
"It was fabulous. I only felt a small twinge when Dr. Foley actually injected the needle," Sue said.
"The response to the VAD has been excellent. Sue is not the only person we deal with who hates needles. It’s very common." Dr. Foley added.
So now it was time for Dr. Vikki to get to work. Dunyan had four hammertoes, two on each feet and they weren’t going to straighten themselves.
"Sue’s 4 hammertoes required four injections," explained Dr. Foley.
"Most people can tolerate 2 injections, but with the VAD Sue was great with all four injections. During the operation I released her tendons to straighten her toes and she was back in shoes in 3 weeks."
Sue couldn’t be happier with the results. "My feet look normal for the first time in a long time. My shoes feel better and I can wear my open toe shoes and not worry how they look," Sue said.

Fold the segmented oranges and sliced onions into 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss to combine and set aside.
Wrap each slice of goat cheese in a slice of prosciutto. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the wrapped cheeses and sear on both sides. Remove from the heat.
In a large salad bowl, combine the greens. Add the marinated orange sections and onion slices, and toss gently with enough extra dressing to coat evenly. Divide among salad plates and top each with a seared goat cheese package and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Spoon a little extra dressing over each salad and serve immediately.
Enjoy and be healthy!
