         The Reporting Persons are filing this statement on Schedule 13D in
         connection with the acquisition of 791,742 shares (the "Shares") of the
         Common Stock of the Issuer, as described in Item 4.

         (a)  The Reporting Persons are:

              George A. Lopez, M.D. Second Family Limited Partnership (the
              "Partnership");

              George A. Lopez, M.D.; and

              Diana K. Lopez, M.D.

              George A. Lopez and Diana K. Lopez are the general partners (the
              "General Partners") of the Partnership. They own, in the
              aggregate, a one percent general partnership interest in the
              Partnership and share power to vote and power to dispose of the
              Shares and may, therefore, be deemed to have beneficial ownership
              of the Shares. Except to the extent of their undivided one percent
              general partnership interest in the assets of the Partnership, the
              General Partners disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares.

         (b)  The business address of the Partnership and of the General
              Partners is:

              951 Calle Amanecer
              San Clemente, California 92673951
<PAGE>
 
         (c)  The principal business of the Partnership is investments, the
              principal occupation of George A. Lopez is Chairman of the Board,
              President and Chief Executive Officer of the issuer and the the
              principal occupation of Diana K. Lopez is physician.

         (d)  None of the persons listed in Item 2(a) has been convicted in any
              criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
              misdemeanors) during the last five years.

         (e)  None of the persons listed in Item 2(a) was a party to any civil
              proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
              jurisdiction during the last five years as a result of which he,
              she or it has been subject to a judgment, decree or final order
              enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
              activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
              any violation with respect to such laws.

         (f)  The Partnership is organized under the laws of the state of
              Nevada. The General Partners are citizens of the United States of
              America.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:

         Reference is made to Item 4 for a description of the transaction in
         which the Partnership acquired the Shares. The consideration for the
         Shares transferred to the Partnership was a 99% limited partnership
         interest in the Partnership.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction:

         On February 24, 1999, Jesus Mejia, Trustee of the Christopher George
         Lopez Children's Trust and the Nicholas George Lopez Children's Trust
         (together, the "Trusts") transferred the 791,742 Shares owned by the
         Trusts to the Partnership in exchange for a 99% limited partnership
         interest in the Partnership. The General Partners of the Family
         Partnership are the parents of the beneficiaries of the Trusts. The
         General Partners together own a one-percent interest in the Family
         Partnership. George A. Lopez is the founder, Chairman of the Board,
         President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. The purpose of the
         transaction is to relieve the Trustee of the responsibility of making
         voting and disposition decisions with respect to a block of stock of
         sufficient size to affect the policies and direction of the Issuer and
         vest such responsibility in the parents of the beneficiaries of the
         Trusts.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer:

         (a)  The Partnership is the direct beneficial owner of 791,742 shares
              of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 9.2% of the issued and
<PAGE>
 
              outstanding Common Stock as of March 2, 1999 (the "Outstanding
              Shares").

              George A. Lopez may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
              1,882,397 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 20.0%
              of the Outstanding Shares. The 1,882,397 shares includes: (i) by
              virtue of the relationships described in Item 2, the Shares owned
              directly by the Partnership, as to which he disclaims any
              beneficial ownership, except to the extent of his undivided one-
              half percent general partnership interest in the assets of the
              Partnership; and (ii) currently exercisable options to purchase
              1,090,655 shares. The percentage of shares as to which he
              may be deemed to be the beneficial owner is based on the number of
              Outstanding Shares plus the number of shares subject to his
              currently exercisable options.

              Diana K. Lopez may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
              1,053,748 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 11.2%
              of the Outstanding Shares. The 1,053,748 shares includes: (i)
              12,006 shares directly owned by her; (ii) 250,000 shares held by
              her as Trustee of the Lopez CRT #1 for the benefit of Diana K.
              Lopez and George A. Lopez; and (iii) by virtue of the
