t’s heard everywhere from little league to high school to college to the pros. Being the best, number one, also drives businesses to go the extra distance in offering products and service beyond customers’ expectations. This section is about Lodi businesses that were voted by The Record’s readers as the best in their respective categories. Also listed in the categories are businesses that are considered by you to be “One of the Best.” While strictly speaking there can only be one “Best” in each category, those who are “One of the Best” have much to be proud of as well. In many cases, there were few votes between first and second. Businesses who got any votes in the Best of Lodi Readers Poll should take pride that some of their customers took the time and made the effort to cast a vote for them. Readers registered and completed an online ballot. That takes loyalty and customers who appreciate the daily effort these businesses make to serve them. At the top of each category is the business that garnered the most votes. Listed below in order of votes received are the next one or two businesses that also received significant votes in the category. We thank all the readers who took the time to support their favorite businesses by filling out a ballot. Five readers’ ballots were drawn at random and they received $100 gift certificates. They are: Amber Bell of Stockton, Peter Westbrook of Lockeford, Barbara Saco of Lodi, Michael Erickson of Lodi, and Wendy Carli of Lodi. This non-scientific poll was conducted online at www.recordnet.com/bestoflodi between January 29th and February 11th, 2010 among San Joaquin readers. Questions about Best of Lodi should be directed to the Advertising Department at The Record 209-546-8351. ■

e would like to thank our wonderful patients and their families for letting us be a part of their lives and helping us be one of Lodi’s Best. Dr. Leslie Wong graduated from University of Southern California in 1995 with his D.D.S. degree. Being born and raised in Sacramento, he moved back up to Northern California to work in Stockton. After 2 years of working in Stockton, he was able to open his own practice here in Lodi. Even though Lodi was not a large city, Dr. Wong felt that Lodi’s community was rich in family values. These are the types of values that he wanted to grow his practice around. Even 12 years after opening his office, he is still available on Saturday for his hard-

working patients who can not take time off during the week. He feels lucky that he has his Mondays off to volunteer in his children’s classrooms. Working with his mentor, Dr. Wai Ming Chan D.D.S., Dr. Wong also volunteers at Sacramento’s Hiram Johnson High School in screening and educating underprivileged students on their dental needs. Dr. Wong is grateful that his dental team shares his passion in helping their patients, and in making sure that each experience is a heartfelt one. He would like to thank his father Stanley and his mother Mei for showing him that it takes hard work in life to become successful. Also, Dr. Wong wanted to thank his wife Akemi for 15 years of wonderful marriage, and his daughter Ayumi and son Bryton for giving him joy daily. n

ow entering its 4th year in downtown Lodi, this upscale consignment store has developed a loyal following with consignors and customers alike. With over 5,000 square feet of space plus a warehouse, New & Again has sold hundreds and hundreds of new and gently used furniture and furnishings for over 1800 people from all walks of life. Customers continually comment about the high quality, cleanliness and look of all the furniture and furnishings on the sales floor. Consignors are always pleased at how quickly their items have sold, and what great prices they received for their items. “Making people happy is what we do,� opined Hayley Jackson, the store manager. “In addition to that, we are truly a recycling center of sorts.� We take items in the back door and they fly out the front door – so we are doing our bit to be a “green� business. In addition, that’s how the tagline in their advertising came about: “Watch Out For Fast Moving Furniture,� where a happy and smiling table and love seat are featured. Since opening in 2006, New & Again has been asked by many people to handle entire estates, using their experience and recordkeeping system. Satisfied consignors of this service rave about the service level, recordkeeping and the efficient method employed in liquidating estates. People handling

ick and Sue Calder opened Rick’s New York Style Pizza on December 4th, 1980 on N. El Dorado St. in Stockton. With great determination and a young family, we began our pizza adventure. In 1988, we wanted to expand our business, and become part of the Lodi community. Our kids grew up, and worked for us, as did many of their friends. It has truly been a family business! Our grown kids still come to help when we need them, and our grandkids – well, they think they own the place when they come in, and they pretty much do. We give back to the
