Dear Patients, Friends, and Colleagues,

Summer has cast its sunny spell over Los Angeles, and it is the best time to embrace the endless possibilities that our city has to offer. Whether you are a born-and-raised Angeleno or a recent transplant, there is always something new and exciting to experience right in our backyard!

Rediscover LA’s Hidden Treasures

I am an LA native, and I understand how easy it is to allow life’s daily tasks to distract you from the beauty and excitement at our doorstep. This summer, I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and enjoy an adventure or two. The following are my recommendations to get you started:

1. Live Jazz Music at LACMA: Unwind with smooth tunes under the stars every Friday night.
2. Spa Day with Friends: Treat yourself and your friends to a luxurious spa day—it is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate.
3. Hiking Trails: Explore LA’s breathtaking landscapes on a refreshing hike—don’t forget a bottle of water, sunscreen, and good shoes!
4. Kayak Tour in Marina del Rey: Paddle through the serene waters of Marina del Rey with a guided kayak tour.
5. Orange County Fair: From July 19th to August 18th, indulge in rides, games, and delicious treats.
6. Dodgers Game and Fireworks: Catch a Dodgers game on Fridays for a spectacular fireworks show.
7. Rooftop Movie Night or Hollywood Cemetery Screening: Experience cinema under the stars in iconic LA settings.
8. Grand Central Market: Explore a local foodie paradise—check their website for special events and culinary delights.
9. Beach Day Bonfire: Gather your friends for a bonfire at Dockweiler Beach—s’mores encouraged!
10. Olvera Street: Immerse yourself in culture and cuisine at LA’s historic Mexican marketplace.
11. Bike Ride along Venice/Santa Monica: Cycle along the coast and treat yourself to waterfront dining.
12. The Last Bookstore: Lose yourself in a labyrinth of books and creativity.
13. Live Concert: Jam out to your favorite artists at one of LA’s legendary music venues.
14. Amusement Park Adventure: Take your pick from Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six Flags, or Knott’s Berry Farm for a thrilling day of rides and entertainment.

There is something in LA for everyone. So grab your sunscreen and make the most of this summer in the City of Angels!

Warm regards,

Camila

What Makes Ketamine a Good Solution?

Psychedelics are increasingly recognized for their profound impact on treatment-resistant cases!
