28 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY JANUARY 26-FEBRUARY 1, 2023 www.montereycountyweekly.com Doctors Kim & Irv Hartford Optometrists In 1982, Drs. Kim and Irv Hartford arrived on the Monterey Peninsula fresh out of U.C. Berkeley with a dream of building an optometry practice. They had $1,000 and a 1974 Mach 1 Ford Mustang. After being turned down at several banks, Howard Sehlin at the National Bank of Carmel took a chance and loaned them money to start their practice. Although the bank is now long gone, it will never be forgotten. Fast forward 40 years. A home in Carmel Valley. Two grown up kids. Two private practices serving Carmel Valley and Soledad. What seemed impossible is now a reality. They are now passing their practices to their daughter, Juliet Del Piero, M.D., an Award-Winning Ophthalmologist. Born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula. She is prepared and ready to continue the legacy. 14 Ford Road • Carmel Valley • 831-625-3911 179 Main Street • Soledad • 831-678-2086 Dr. Larry Lachman Dr. Larry Lachman Clinical Psychologist Dr. Larry Lachman is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, published author and a 23- year prostate cancer survivor.

Early on, I realized I was passionate about helping people navigate the confusing world of medical devices. For me, it’s an amazing feeling to see people’s faces light up when they regain some of their independence, or when the brace or support I recommended helps alleviate their pain. I work hard every day to make Carmel Medical Supplies the most helpful one-stop medical supply shop in the county. Thank you all for being so warm and welcoming.
