D

r. Tim Silegy-Transforming Lives in Long Beach for Over 25 Years While he wasn’t born here, Long Beach is definitely home for Dr. Silegy. Having practiced here for more than 25 years, his influence on the Long Beach Community has become generational. “I’ve been here long enough that I am starting to treat the children of children whose wisdom teeth I removed when they were teenagers,” states Silegy, who is celebrating his third consecutive Grunion Gazette/Press Telegram’s Reader’s Choice Award. “I love being stopped by patients in the grocery store or while walking down second street in Belmont Shore.”

Dr. Silegy’s journey in oral and maxillofacial surgery began over two decades ago. He lived here while completing his residency at the King Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles and after a short stint in Colorado, he returned to Long Beach to start his practice from scratch in the Spring Professional Building in East Long Beach. Since that time, he has been on-staff at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center/Miller Children’s Hospital, and has practiced the full scope of his specialty, including facial trauma, wisdom tooth removal, dental implantology, reconstructive jaw surgery and the management of TMJ disorders, in his state-of-the-art office.

Dr. Silegy’s commitment to excellence extends beyond his own practice; he actively collaborates with referring dentists to ensure the highest standard of care for their patients. Through his collaborative approach, Dr. Silegy serves as a trusted partner for all Long Beach area dentists. He truly is Long Beach’s Oral Surgeon!

pirit Cruises began in 1982 in the newly opened Shoreline Marina in Downtown Long Beach. In 1989, brothers Jayme, Marcus, and Nick expanded to Shoreline Village and added to their fleet a new 90ft Westport Motor Yacht. Spirit Cruises is a family business where these three brothers and three sons Winter, West & Wyatt serve as Captains that operate the Yachts.

Five grandchildren will be joining the crew over the next few years. Our primary focus is on private charters for family celebrations and company events for 20 guests up to 120 guests. Over the past 40 years, our cruises are so memorable that many times connections that started with a birthday party have returned and celebrated other events such as engagement and wedding celebrations, to baby showers, to anniversary parties, retirement events and then to memorial services. Additionally, we provide public sightseeing cruises, dinner cruises, cocktail cruises, port tours, sunset cruises, and peak-season whale watch excursions. We operate our public cruises year-round on weekends & holidays, and daily during the summer.

ur Mission Is You…118 Years & Counting With the opening of Seaside Hospital (now Long Beach Medical Center), MemorialCare has been providing compassionate, quality health care to the Long Beach community and beyond for nearly 118 years. Today, Long Beach Medical Center has leading programs and advanced technologies, helping provide the community with the latest treatment options and cancer research protocols.

In 1970, the need for expert pediatric specialty care arose in a bustling and growing Long Beach, leading to the establishment of Miller Children’s Hospital. Combining expert maternity care under the same roof as pediatric care, ensured moms and babies were never separated, whether pregnancy was common or complex.

Today, Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital can be there for every patient at every stage of life, from newborn and beyond.

MemorialCare Medical Group later expanded to Long Beach, ensuring primary care and urgent care locations for the community’s preventive health needs.

From caring for generations of families to welcoming those who are new to Long Beach, MemorialCare will continue to bring you the compassionate and clinical excellence the community deserves.
