BEST Northshore's THE

The Best of the Best

TWENTY YEARS AGO the Northshore was a very different place than it is today. The area had yet to be impacted by the population boom in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Highway 190 was a two-lane road through the heart of Mandeville, Madisonville was still considered “the country” and anyone who would’ve suggested an exit on Fremaux Avenue would have been laughed out of town. In order to meet the population explosion over the last two decades, subdivisions have been built, schools have opened and virtually every type of business has been introduced into the area. There is perhaps no better gauge of the growth in the business community than our Northshore’s Best awards.

As part of Sophisticated Woman Magazine’s 20th anniversary back in 2005, then-editor Francie Unger and publisher Joanne Gallinghouse created The Northshore’s Best to recognize and honor local businesses. As the only Northshore readers’ choice program, what started with 93 categories has since expanded into over 400 categories encompassing West St. Tammany, East St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Throughout the years, our goal has been to give our readers a voice to identify those businesses that excel in delivering products and services to our community.

There have been many long-time businesses that continue to impress our readers with their commitment to excellence. In fact, St. Tammany Hospital, Acquistapace’s, Coffee Rani and Gallagher`s have been perennial winners in their respective specialties. Other categories have fierce rivalries with two or three businesses taking turns. Some companies even employ competitive “Vote for Us” campaigns to win the coveted The Northshore’s Best title. Almost everywhere you go throughout the area – from doctors’ offices to car washes – if a business has been awarded the title in the past, you are going to know about it. They proudly display the logo that is their badge of recognition on stickers, banners, certificates, signage and in advertising materials.

With an open voting process, anyone can vote for any local business in just a few categories or all of them. The process is 100 percent objective. Advertising in Sophisticated Woman is not a pre-requisite to winning. This year, thousands of votes were cast – a testament to our loyal readers and their passion for the Northshore people and businesses they love. Congratulations to our 2023 winners and thanks to all of you who have helped make The Northshore’s Best successful for the last 20 years.

Dr. G

How many times have pet parents thought, “I wish my pet could talk, if only to tell me how to help them live their best life”? When a pet shows physical or behavioral signs of health problems, their guardians are often faced with a lack of answers or an overwhelming amount of conflicting information. Luckily for the Northshore, they have VetNaturally’s Dr. Ashley Geoghegan’s unique combination of knowledge, decades of experience and unwavering compassion. Dr. G, as she is known by her loyal clients, began her career treating military working dogs as a US Army veterinarian and went on to treat pets in their homes with her mobile practice on wheels which included surgery capabilities. And while Fido and fluffy may not actually talk to Dr. G, she certainly has developed a way to compassionately communicate by interacting with them and considering their overall quality of life, experiencing what they are exposed to and how they function in their own unique environments.

“I saw a need for alternative medical treatments to address chronic conditions, particularly in elderly pets, to provide the best, most comprehensive care possible,” says the caregiver always seeking to bring more to her practice. Dr. G sought additional training in Eastern veterinary medicine at The Chi Institute under the world-renowned holistic veterinarian, Dr. Huisheng Xie, and she studied at the Canine Rehabilitation Institute to fully help her geriatric patients function at their best. Today, with six different certifications and specialty designations, she practices Integrative Medicine, which is a combination of Traditional Chinese Veterinary medicine (TCVM), canine rehabilitation and conventional modern medicine. What that means for her patients is a practice like no other with a range of approaches, techniques and alternatives including food therapy, acupuncture, essential oil and herbal therapy, medical spa treatments and massage therapy giving options and

relief that traditional medicine alone can’t offer. VetNaturally Animal Hospital also has a rehabilitation department with therapies such as underwater treadmill, class IV laser and shockwave therapy. Another focus is treating chronic skin problems with their skin health spa. Dr. G’s innovations have garnered her local acclaim as a consistent The Northshore’s Best winner for close to 20 years as well as worldwide respect including teaching positions at the LSU Veterinary School of Integrative Medicine program and Chi University in Florida. She also holds a position as a board member on the World Association of TCVM Board. “There is nothing like VetNaturally in the country. People fly in from near and far for our unique approach and offerings. We are thrilled to offer full service medical care along with soothing, luxury, spa-like services.” Even after 24 years building a world-class reputation and practice, Dr. G is as passionate as ever about improving the care and outcomes available for working animals and pet patients. By tuning in to their overall health, comfort and wellbeing needs, her growing team cares for them holistically and helps their daily caregivers to do the same. “Just last year, we welcomed Dr. Jeff Schumacher to VetNaturally to augment the Western Medicine side of the hospital with his expertise in surgery, dentistry and acupuncture. His arrival marks a new era at VetNaturally. With a brand new, high-tech surgical suite at our Mandeville clinic, he leads the way in nose-to-tail surgical procedures for pets.” Dr. G also celebrates the contributions of her support team, “I can’t overstate the importance of everyone here – Leslie, our practice manager, Melissa, our receptionist, Brianna and Casey, our registered

Award-Winning Care that has the Northshore Talking

vet techs, Megan, our veterinary assistant, Reese our med spa assistant, Angela, our canine concierge, and Janice, our groomer.”

As evidenced by numerous The Northshore’s Best wins over the past two decades, pet parents don’t need their dogs and cats to actually articulate thanks to Dr. G and team to know they feel better. They can see it in their pet’s improved appearance and demeanor and are happy to speak on behalf of their appreciative fourlegged children. Here are just a few of VetNaturally’s glowing online testimonies. “The holistic approach is a world of difference for getting to the bottom of the cause for my Calli girl’s allergies.” “The best clinic around! They take their time, communicate and give the best possible care. Very fortunate to have found them.” “It’s a massive relief to have such a supportive and integrative team for my nervous pup.” “They solve problems with a view to your pet’s entire best interest.” “I learned so much from Dr. G and staff. I’m excited they can help my baby.” “The best care our bulldog has received. Traditional allergy medicine wasn’t working. Only regret is that I didn’t bring her sooner.” “We are being educated in a different way that we so appreciate to treat our Shih Tzu who had serious problems.” “They’re helping my senior/ anxious dog live his best life.”

Dr. G invites everyone to help their pet live the longest, healthiest and happiest life possible and experience the care that has people talking. “One consultation will completely alter your understanding of pet care and can greatly impact the level of comfort in which your pet spends their geriatric years. Come find out who we are and what we do, so you can give your pet the care they deserve.”

Shana Roig Legacy Insurance, LLC

LEGACY INSURANCE was founded in 2018 with the goal to "Protect What's Important" with insurance products and services. This year, owner Shana Roig celebrates her 5th year as The Northshore's Best Insurance Agent and her expansion across state lines.

Shana is excited to announce her newest office opened in Arkansas last month. "I am grateful to have the opporunity to bring my business back to my home state", Shana states. "My team and I have worked endlessly to make this a reality and I am excited to bring my insurance services to those who need it." Shana and her team are licensed in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Montana.

Legacy Insurance doesn't believe in a one-size-fitsall but believes your insurance policy should be no exception. Shana and her team focus on need-based advising, where she curates individual insurance programs for both personal and commerical needs.

Legacy represents numerous insurance companies that provide ccommerical and personal insurance policies for all of your insurance needs. With soaring insurance prices, now is the time to contact Shana and her team for a thorough insurance review.

When she isn't writing insurance policies, Shana enjoys spending time with her husband Chad, sons Chad II and Hunter, her daughters Ally and Maggy and the newest family member, grandson James, who is 5 months old. She loves being a dance mom and traveling to new places.

"I can not thank everyone enough for voting me The Northshore's Best for the 5th year in a row! It is an honor to serve our wonderful clients, my supportive family and friends, and of course Sophiscated Woman," says Roig. "My team and I are excited for 2024 and as always are ready to help advise our clients with all of their insurance needs.

Moving You Into a Better Tommorrow

E.J. Fielding: Designing Your Funeral

Families come to us because they know we’re dedicated to excellent service and have the highest integrity. We’re proud to assist you in designing your funeral.

Services To Honor A Life—A funeral or memorial service, whether traditional or contemporary, is the first step in healing. It’s about bringing loved ones together at a time of loss. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week and time, musical selections, prayers to be said and songs to be sung. We can also arrange tribute videos, personalized printing, memorial websites and live funeral webcasting.

Caring for Physical Remains—Usually, people are clear on their choice of burial or cremation. Most loved ones have told someone how they wish to be cared for. But it can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. Please know we’re here to help you with that decision. If you’ve chosen burial, the casket is chosen followed by the selection of vault or desired cemetery location. If cremation is your choice, the next decision will be whether the remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche or buried on cemetery grounds.

We look forward to using our generations of experience to help you create the most memorable and meaningful funeral to honor your loved one.

Since 1992, E.J. Fielding Funeral Home has been helping families in their greatest time of need. We are a family-owned and operated funeral home offering full-service funeral arrangements, cremation and burial services in Covington, LA. We proudly serve families of the bereaved and honor their loved ones. We service the Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Folsom, Bush, Lacombe, Metairie, Kenner, and Jefferson areas. Call 985-892-9222 to speak to one of our staff who can assist you with all of your needs today, or visit ejfieldingfh.com.
