Last year we adopted a new dog, who is naturally a special part of our family. Being an older dog, we wanted to make sure he received any necessary treatment to maintain his health.

Naturally first impressions count and you want to see if you can establish rapport to establish the best possible patient and caregiver relationship. These first steps all went very well. The front office staff was first and foremost friendly, quite attentive and efficient. Stitch's main care-provider has been Dr. Murphy. We have found her to be a knowledgeable and caring professional veterinarian. Her analysis, then course of treatment is t...

Iron Fist Brewery Vista, CA–Our very own Eve Sieminski, along with her wonderful family, has opened a quiickly-growing brewery in Vista--and what a hit has become. San Diego is becoming (if not already) the beer micro-brewery capital of our country and the Iron Fist Brewing Company in Vista holds the promise of being a double-fisted knock-out success–and a real prize for San Diego. The brau haus is brand new, sparking clean, boasts state of the art brewing equipment and the  keen Belgian brewing sensibilities of a traditional Polish family.  Mike and I attended the Iron Fist Brewery’s crowded soft opening where we enjoyed two tasting flights of beer and snippets of conversation with old friends Greg and Eve Sieminski (also a San Marcos Realtor with San Diego Previews Real Estate), Bran...
