Thank you!
Before I say another word about this year’s Best of North Atlanta results, I first want to take the opportunity to extend a hearty congrats to the entire business community for not only bouncing back from a COVID economy, but thriving in the time since.
HANS APPEN Publisher hans@appenmedia.com
I suspect one of the reasons is that we all learned how to dig a little deeper to make ends meet. We all had to figure out new and creative ways to meet our customers where they are, engage with our staff, and work efficiently to deal with supply chain interruptions and limited resources.
Perhaps one challenge that proved particularly difficult was continuing to deliver a level and quality of product/ service that our customers had come to expect in a busi ness environment where that was sometimes near impossible. This meant that we witnessed businesses reinvent themselves on the fly. I suspect that for many of them, they made structural changes to their businesses they’d been putting off for years but were now essential to staying open. We learned what had to get done immediately, and what could wait another day.
We retained many of those lessons learned, even when we no longer needed to use them, and for that I believe our business community is stronger and bet ter.
It is certainly more resilient.
Now, onto the results. After 107,000(!) votes were cast in this year’s con test, we are thrilled to present the winners in this week’s editions of our Herald newspapers.
To our winners, take pride in this great accomplishment. There is no higher praise than willingness of a customer to go online and cast a vote to hopefully help you win your category. Many posted links to their social media accounts, emailed their friends and family asking them to support you, and returned mul tiple times to the ballot to maximize their impact on the results! You’ve got a lot of fans out there.
We hope to celebrate each of you in person at the awards gala in October –the first time we’ve been able to host the event in three years. It is going to be a lot of fun, and we hope you take the opportunity to enjoy yourself, take a break, and appreciate your accomplishments.
To the voters, our newspapers’ readers, and the patrons of our winning busi nesses, thank you. Thank you for helping us bestow the much-deserved recog nition on the businesses you support. Every year now for over 15 years we have asked you to take a couple minutes out of your day to help us nominate and then vote on the best the area has to offer, and you have yet to disappoint.
Please continue to support your local business community, and the next time you visit one of the winners listed on the following pages, make sure to congratulate them.

Home Helpers of North Atlanta wins for the 6th time as Best Home Care for Seniors!
Brought to you by – Home Helpers of Alpharetta and North Atlanta Suburbs
Home Helpers of Alpharetta and North Atlanta Suburbs has been voted the Best Home Care for Seniors in North Atlanta for six consecutive years. It’s so rewarding to know we have been able to maintain your trust in our commitment to exceptional care. Thank you to all our supporters for your votes!
“Looking back over the years, the abil ity to look at the needs of our clients and their families in a unique and ever-chang ing way has made a true difference in the kind of care we deliver” say Hilary and Greg Eldridge. “We know that home can be a private house, assisted living commu nity or health facility as you recuperate. Using our knowledge and experience to create a truly personalized approach can
be the key to aging in place gracefully, as safely and economically as possible.”
Just one example of listening to our clients and creating a new approach can be found with our live-in care alterna tives. A heart-centered, well matched and skilled Home Helpers Caregiver lives in your loved one’s home and can pro vide daytime support care, ideal for chal lenges like decreased mobility, increased fall dangers and conditions like Al zheimer’s and Parkinson’s. They’re also available for occasional nighttime assis tance or for emergencies. It answers the concerns so many families have about too many people and schedules to man age. But a caregiver needs five hours of uninterrupted sleep and eight hours total sleep, so if care is needed through the night this option was unavailable – usually making a team of caregiv
ers and more expensive hourly fees the norm. We take a different approach and can also provide a nighttime caregiver who provides supplemental assistance, allows your primary caregiver to get the rest they need, and is still more eco nomical than an hourly team. It also creates a safe, calming environment with no shift changes during the day.
We know the benefits to a speedy re covery that in-home care provides when recuperating after a stroke, surgery, managing personal care and emotional support, or providing specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, etc. Being able to help families navigate their unique care needs quickly and de liver quality care management requires hands on attention to detail by a team with depth and skill. While it starts with matching a dedicated caregiver to each
client, there’s also a care management liaison who provides a critical link to address questions and concerns in real time, before issues become critical.
Hilary and Greg built this business as a tribute to Hilary’s father and set out eleven years ago to raise the bar for in-home care. “I saw what a difference truly personal ized care made for my dad” says Hilary. “I always use his memory as an inspiratio headline serif advertn to make sure that even in the midst of change we engage the spirit of our clients and honor the richness of their lives.”
We’re here to help, from eight hours a day, several days a week to 24/7 and live-in care. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of Alpharetta and North Atlanta Suburbs at (770) 6810323.

Thank you from your Southern friends at Surcheros
Brought to you by – Surcheros Fresh Mex
Everyone at Surcheros Fresh Mex would like to thank all the loyal guests that voted during this year’s Best of North Atlanta. If you haven’t had a chance to experience our brand of TexMex, we invite you to join us soon. In the meantime, we would love to tell you our story.
When Luke Christian, our CEO/ Founder, left his rural South Georgia home for college, he never dreamed that one day he would come home to open a restaurant. Bringing together big taste and bold flavors with the Southern hospitality of his youth, Luke opened his first restaurant in Douglas, GA during 2007, serving freshly prepared Tex-Mex favorites.
Surcheros quickly became a com munity favorite, a place where they remembered your order and your name. It wasn’t long before others heard about this concept and wanted to open a Sur cheros in their town, too. That’s when Luke, and his wife, Nicole, began to dream bigger.
With a shared vision of expansion and love of community, Surcheros began franchising in 2017. The re-branded Surcheros Fresh Mex completed remod els of its existing locations and support ed new franchisees across South Georgia and into Florida as they introduced their own communities to Surcheros.
As an emerging brand poised for expansion and growth into the Atlanta Metro and the Southeast, Surcheros moved its corporate headquarters to Alpharetta. In May, our flagship restau rant opened here in Downtown Alpharet ta.
Luke, Nicole and the entire Surche ros organization are excited to continue their success celebrating 15 years in 2022 with 25 locations in the Southeast and North Florida, and more coming to communities in Florida, North Georgia and South Carolina.
No matter where you are, Friendly Tex-Mex, Fresh Every Day is what you will find at Surcheros.

Thank you for voting us Back-toBack-to-Back Best Beverage/ Wine Store and more!
Brought to you by – Deep Roots
The votes are in and once again Deep Roots wins Best Beverage/Wine Store of North Atlanta! We are also honored to win the Best Locally Owned Busi ness, Best Happy Hour and Best Place for Girls Night Out! Why are we the best you ask? Deep Roots is a Wine Market & Tasting Room featuring domestic wines located in Historic Roswell. Guests can enjoy a self-service tasting tour of wine country using our WineStation machines while browsing a broad selection of retail wines and merchandise. Sip by the taste, by the glass or by the bottle(s)!
Our tasting room, bar and lounge seating has a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere. With 32 wines available to taste via smart card operated Napa Technology WineStation machines and over 300 different wines in stock, you will never run out of new wines to expe rience. Craft beer is also offered on tap and sparkling wines are available by the glass.
You may be wondering how this
trendy wine bar came about. Owner Dana Gurela developed a passion for wine after her first visit to Napa in 2009. When Dana and husband Todd moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2012, she turned that passion into an obsession. After living in California for five years, Gurela knew it was time to return home to her family in Georgia, but not without bringing a little piece of wine country with her. The name Deep Roots recog nizes the vines’ struggle to survive in the vineyard and the connection to family here in Georgia.
One of our greatest attributes is our staff. We are one big happy family and that truly shines through in the way we treat our customers. We feel so blessed to be able to work with such an amazing group of folks every day. THANK YOU, Deep Roots Staff and loyal customers, for making us the Best Beverage/Wine Store of North Atlanta for three years in a row! Without you, it would not have been possible.

A father and son story
Brought to you by - Six Bridges Brew ing
The Six Bridges story starts with a father-son dream of teaming up to own and operate a craft brewery, determined to create world-class brews that everyone can enjoy.
Charles (the father) is a Georgia Tech Chemical Engineering graduate, whose love for beer started in the foothills of Colorado. Brewing beer is right in the wheelhouse of chemical engineers, so it was a natural fit. He learned to brew beer at home while he kept his day job and was thrilled when his son also took up home brewing.
An Atlanta-area native, Clay followed in
his dad’s footsteps, but not as an engineer. He moved to Colorado to be a ski bum by day and an adventurist by night, includ ing learning the art and science of brewing beer. Clay moved back to north Georgia and became a firefighter, enamored by the smoke jumpers he met out west. He also honed his skills in brewing beer.
When the time came, both father and son threw caution to the wind, and com mitted to fulfilling the dream, an effort of love and passion. Each day starts with a challenge and ends with a reward. Here we are living the dream, the first craft brewery in Johns Creek, GA, and now a second location in Crabapple.

Brought to you by –Modern OBGYN of North Atlanta
With no time to be sick, in pain or have surgery, the providers of Modern OBGYN know that educating women with different options for surgery is important. Dr. John Reyes, Dr. Ingrid Reyes, Dr. Natu Mmbaga, Dr. Annie Kim, Dr. Zin Alonso, Dr. Christy Ken kel, Dr. Rachel Prosper, and Dr. Nada Megally understand that one way of helping women in this busy world is through minimally invasive surgical options via robotic surgery and inoffice surgical procedures.
“There are so many great options for women,” Dr. John Reyes said. “It’s our job to get that information to them and make them aware they don’t need large incisions, long hospital stays, or painful recovery times.”
Minimally invasive robotic sur gery allows the physicians at Modern OBGYN to operate through just a few small incisions. Featuring a high-def inition vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist, da Vinci enables them to operate with en hanced vision, precision and control.
As the first surgeons to perform da Vinci robotic surgeries at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, husband and wife team Dr. Ingrid and Dr. John Reyes know some common issues that can be addressed with robotic surgery are hysterectomies, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. Striving to do their best for the women in the community, Dr. John said, “It’s a blessing to be able to do minimally invasive and robotic surgeries on
patients suffering from longstanding issues such as infertility from endo metriosis, fibroids, or pelvic adhesive disease.”
Established in 2010, Modern OB GYN has three convenient office loca tions in Johns Creek, Alpharetta at Avalon, and the newest office located on the Northside Forsyth campus in Cumming.
Along with compassionate care for patients and their needed surgeries, Modern OBGYN strives to give expect ing mothers the support they need by making sure that the mothers per sonally know their provider. Modern OBGYN has a highly experienced team of Certified Nurse Midwives who work alongside each physician to provide well-rounded, patient-centered and personal obstetrical care. You’ll always know us, and we’ll always know you,” Dr. John said. “No surprises when it comes time to deliver!”
Dr. John says the best part about building provider-patient relationships is, “We can help them become preg nant, and come full-circle to care for them during their pregnancy and de livery. It’s the full spectrum of caring for what’s so important to a woman’s life—her health and her family.”
Modern OBGYN also provides rou tine annual exams, Pap smears, HPV testing, irregular cycles, menopause and other common women’s issues. The physicians perform robotic surgery at both Emory Johns Creek Hospital and Northside Hospital-Forsyth.

How can we tell you what makes us “The Best?” Maybe we should just let our clients say it for us. Check out this recent Google Review:
“This is, without a doubt, the best Physical Therapy service available. From the second you call to schedule, you feel the genuine concern, care and empathy that is currently lacking with most phy sicians. Once you begin, Marc Stewart, PT and the other PTs demonstrate their experience and knowledge by tailoring a specific program for you and your body. They will push the right amount each session to allow for a real recovery. Their ability to make you feel comfortable and
their customer service is unparalleled. Sincerely, if you’re looking for PT, this is by far the best out there and Marc is amazing!!!!” ~ Christian Zapata

Brought to you by – Johns Creek Primary Care
Johns Creek Primary Care is an Internal Medicine practice which special izes in adolescents, adults and seniors where quality, preventative care and convenience are our top priorities. We are honored to be voted the best Internal Medicine Practice in North Atlanta for the 5th straight year. Our dietician, Ju lia Callahan, also was voted 1st RunnerUp in Best Dietician in North Atlanta for the 2nd year in a row. We owe this suc cess to our highly dedicated experienced low turnover staff scince we opened 21 years ago.
As a testament to our focus on quality, we were the first practice in the Eastern United States to incor porate a new artificial intelligence (AI) program to diagnose significant diabetic retinopathy sooner than most of our ophthalmology colleagues. This FDA approved retinal photo AI read achieves 87% sensitivity and 90% specificity in finding this potentially blinding diabetic eye disease compared to an average of 41% sensitivity with board-certified ophthalmologists.
We were also the 2nd practice in the U.S. to start diabetic neuropathy ultrasound treatments for peripheral neuropathy pain, tingling, and numb ness now through our subsidiary practices at RealWave Neuropathy Treatment Centers in Johns Creek and Gainesville.
89% of our neuropathy patients see improvement in their symptoms with up to 57% of them get at least 90% improvement in this painless treatment that is covered by insur ance.
We are diligent in making sure you keep up with your preventa tive screenings. Each visit, we look to see if you are due immunizations, colonoscopies, complete physicals or mammograms. We often score in the 90th percentile on preventative quality measures.
Extended office hours starting at 7:00AM Monday through Saturday help give our patients the flexibility they need in scheduling appointments. We offer an Optifast weight loss pro gram, dietician services and clinical research opportunities at our location. Many diagnostic tests are performed in our office such as ultrasounds, ECHOs, nuclear stress tests, lung function tests, cognitive screenings and lab draws to increase convenience for our patients. Same day urgent ap pointments are available.
Please welcome Dr. Amit Narayan to our practice. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and grew up in Johns Creek. He graduated from University of Georgia with a Bachelor’s in Science, Mercer University

Brought to you by – Premier Dermatology
Congratulations to Premier Derma tology and Mohs surgery of Atlanta for its fifth year in a row of being voted Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Special ist of North Fulton! Since opening in 2017, Premier Dermatology has quickly become the go-to dermatology practice for Mohs surgery and comprehensive dermatologic care. As in years past, I decided to sit down with Dr. Brent Tay lor to get his take on his success and to learn a bit more about him.
Alyssa: Hey Dr. Taylor! Thanks for meeting with me again. Winning the Best Dermatologist and Best Vein specialist for five years in a row means you must be doing something right! In the past, we have discussed some of your personal interests, but this year I thought we would hear some more anecdotes about your professional lives, experiences and accomplishments. First off, do you have a patient care moment or a diagnosis of which you are exceptionally proud?
Dr. Taylor: Thank you! It is abso lutely our goal to deliver outstanding dermatologic care. Regarding diagnoses that I’m proud of, the first instances that come to mind involve catching a disease that is technically outside my specialty. For example, a patient looked a bit yel low, and I ordered a liver function test and caught acute liver failure. I helped another patient discover that one of his ureters had been accidentally cut during a surgery at the hospital.
Within my own specialty I’m often most proud of how simply being thorough can be critical to a patient’s care. By be ing thorough, I have caught melanomas on the scalp and bottom of the feet of patients who were sometimes surprised I asked them to take out a hair tie or take their socks off. Likewise, photography helps us monitor moles for change, and just last month we caught a melanoma early because a slight change from a pre vious photo prompted an early biopsy.
Alyssa: Do you have any uncomfort able or funny moments you’ve experi enced during training that you’re willing to share?
Dr. Taylor: When I was training dur ing my fellowship in San Diego, a patient brought his pet horned lizard to sit in his shirt pocket during surgery. He told me not to make it feel threatened or it would shoot blood at me from its eyes. I looked it up later. Sure enough, that is one of the horned lizard’s self-defense tactics!
Alyssa: Has a patient or teacher or
coworker ever asked you out on a date?
Dr. Taylor: (Laughs) Yes they have. Sadly, the number of patients in their 90s who have asked me on a date is higher than the number of non-patients who ever asked me on a date before I was married.
Alyssa: Is there a funny medical fact that you have learned?
Dr. Taylor: Actually I have a good one! An ENT professor in medical school told us that as men age they lose the ability to hear higher pitch sounds, and, as women age, their voices increase in pitch. Thus, men naturally lose the ability to hear women with time. So the next time your wife accuses you of ignoring her: blame biology, not the football game!
Alyssa: Do you have a pet peeve of which patients or staff are guilty?
Dr. Taylor: I really don’t get frus trated easily. I understand that every one has a life and everyone’s lives have struggles about which we often know little. If someone is being rude, I usu ally chalk it up to unseen struggles. That being said, I do wish that certain patients would realize what a marvel Mohs surgery really is. My primary pet peeve is patients mistreating my cowork ers. Sometimes, patients get frustrated waiting on their tissue to process during a day of Mohs surgery. And they some times take it out on my medical assis tants, who are wonderful and caring and are in healthcare for the right reasons.
There is a comedian who has a bit on youtube called “everything’s amazing and nobody’s happy.” He talks about how upset people get on airplanes when just a few hundred years ago a trip across the country was like the video game Oregon Trail – the journey took months, and half of the wagon party died of cholera on the way. Like air travel, skin cancer treatment nowadays is miraculous. Prior to Mohs surgery, far more skin cancers routinely caused disfigurement and even death. Now, Mohs surgery offers a cure rate of 99% for most skin cancers, and the aesthetic results are often outstanding. Mod ern skin cancer care truly is fantastic. Unfortunately, the same day shipping world in which we live has made people expect immediate results, and they sometimes take out their frustrations on my coworkers. The world can always use a little more kindness, patience and grace.
Thank you to Dr. Brent Taylor for sharing a little more about themselves and congratulations again for winning both Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist in North Fulton for 2022!

Five curb appeal trends for 2022
Summer’s end marks the perfect time to update your curb appeal be fore the arrival of the holiday season. Although morning temperatures might be slightly crisper, your home’s ex terior doesn’t need to look as though winter has already arrived! There is still enough time before Thanksgiv ing to complete an upgrade or two. If you’re looking to elevate your home’s attractiveness, here are a few tips for an on-point facelift this year:
1. Neutral Color Palettes
If you are considering giving your home a fresh coat of paint or siding, earth tones, shades of black or gray, green hues, neutrals and soft whites are the ones to beat. Adapting beauti fully to varying levels of light and har monizing perfectly with natural sur
roundings, colors like beige, black, charcoal, cream, heather gray, pewter gray, navy, tan and white are easy to mix and match with accent colors.
2. Assorted Materials for Texture
A second aes thetic trend this year is the use of different materials to create texture and incorporate an element of visual depth, emphasizing architectural features and adding char acter to a home’s exterior. Texture can be achieved in any number of ways, whether through the use of stone and brick accents, concrete siding, metal roofs, copper gutters or real wood for siding, accents, board and batten walls and more.
3. Landscape Lighting
The right kind of lighting is an unbeat able addition to any exterior, creating a welcoming ambiance that can’t be re placed. From pathway lights and lanterns to fireplace/fire pit lighting and string lights, there are a number of opportunities available to infuse atmosphere into your curb appeal and highlight your home’s unique features.
4. Eco-Friendly Energy Solutions
Homes that recycle internal (or passive) energy sources are trending, and adding sustainable features like solar panels, large skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows, electric vehicle charging stations and drought-re sistant landscaping will lower your current energy bill while prepping your home to sell more quickly.
5. Integrated Indoor-Outdoor Living
Finally, a top curb appeal trend for this year is the creation of spaces that allow a seamless transition between a home’s indoor and outdoor living areas. Decks, porches, patios and ga
zebos are popular ways to accomplish this, and many homes already have the basic structures in place, but the most successfully linked indoor and outdoor spaces are those that view them as extensions of one another. Incorporating similar design elements like colors, textures and materials, adding canopies or screening to out door areas, populating indoor areas with plants and using lighting strate gically are a few ways to coherently tie those areas together.
This year’s trends are all about sus tainability and creating social gathering spaces that are aesthetically pleasing. If you need assistance renovating your home or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!

Sowing the seeds of organic learning
Brought to you by – Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia
Thank Maria Montessori, Italy’s first woman doctor, invented a system of early childhood education based on her scientific observations of how the child constructs himself through in teraction with his environment.
Her emphasis on the importance of the “prepared” environment created by the teacher offers the child the free dom to choose his work. This free dom - which is given when the child demonstrates the responsibility to use it wisely - allows him to remain with an activity until its purpose is accom plished. Working without artificial timelines allows him to engage in the spontaneous repetition of a skill so that it is refined; this freedom also creates in him the ability to concen trate for long periods of time and to feel the satisfaction of mastery.
In a Montessori environment, the teacher serves as a guide rather than as a traditional instructor. She contin ually observes the child, using these observations to give the next lesson so that he steadily progresses.
The multi-aged classroom gives every child regular opportunities to be the learner as well as the leader in the security of a home-like environ ment which is cared for by everyone in it, teacher and student alike. The Montessori classroom is ordered and beautiful, filled with materials that are aesthetically pleasing, materials which capture the imagination and assist in physical, academic and social develop ment.
Montessori develops children who are responsible, creative, innovative, re spectful and kind. Montessori children are truly the citizens of the future, equipped to face challenges with confi dence and competence.
Located near the intersection of 141 and McGinnis Ferry Road in Johns Creek, Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia provides excellence in Montessori education for infants, toddlers and children to six years old. JCMSOG provides an authen tic Montessori environment, where each individual’s needs are respected, and everyone works together for the good of the community. The focus is
always on helping the children to de velop themselves in a caring, peaceful environment. By helping children to develop independence, we assist them in their physical and emotional devel opment. As their sense of security in their ability to care for themselves and their environment grows, their brains have more energy or “bandwidth” for
increased academic learning. Ad ditionally, this focus on development of muscular control is a first step in developing self-discipline. The JC MSOG Difference is best experienced in person. Please schedule a visit with your child to observe our “Montessori Magic” - www.JCMSOG.org 770-8148001

Cultivating lifestyles and curating homes
Creating an environment that infuses the wants, the needs and the unique personality of my cli ent is how I approach each design project. A house is a homeowner’s sanctuary, their retreat and per sonal space in this big world we live in. I want my client’s home not only to be beautiful but highly functional and to age gracefully.... a place to create memories! My client focused approach, personalized service and ability to weave modern elegance into traditional spaces allows for func tional daily living for today’s busy families. Capturing the personality of the space and client and infusing both into the design makes each of Kat Nelson Design’s projects unique. I tailor every project to my client’s vision and lifestyle.
As a child, part of a military fam ily we lived around and traveled the world. I have seen firsthand many of the beautiful places this world has to offer and naturally drawn to beauti ful things. I was always putting things together uniquely. It took me a while to realize this was actually my gift. I bring this passion and love of beauty into every one of my design projects, blend
ing beautiful layered textures, a variety of finishes with eclec tic and unexpected twists.
Kat Nelson Designs has over 16 years of experi ence as a full-service design firm, based in Atlanta Georgia. Our projects exist from West to East coast with many repeat clients.
Testimonials – Kat Nelson Designs:
“Working with Kat Nelson has been one of the very best decisions I have made. Without Kat, I simply would not have been able to have accomplished everything that I wanted to get done. We are so happy with the work she has done in our Alpharetta home and our Scotts dale condo to make them unique, beauti ful, yet very livable. Her vast expertise and creativity, along with the extensive resources available to her have saved me countless hours and thousands of dol lars. She is knowledgeable, professional, creative, and collaborative. I look forward to working with Kat for many years to come”
“My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katrina from Kat Nelson Designs. She has such a talent for picking out color pallets. Katrina helped us transition existing wall color with new updated wall color through out our house. She helped to make the exterior of our home look like a brandnew house. Katrina transformed a boring unused living room into a lounge that has
become the most used room in our house. Her ideas about accessories and lighting are innovative yet homey and cozy. Kat pushes us to think outside the box, but still keeps our personal style intact. We have been thrilled with every project she helped us with.”
