THANK

WINNERS' GUIDE The Reno News & Review’s Best of Northern Nevada contest is kind of a big deal.

Our readers have voted for their favorite local people, places and things for more than two decades. Thousands of voters log in to vote every year, and after the fallout, the tallying of votes, and the internet outrage at the results, local businesses proudly display their winning plaques.

We at the RN&R consider hosting this contest to be a sacred trust. We announced the winners in our whopping big Best of Northern Nevada issue back in August. But this week’s issue is something a little different: It’s a chance for the winners to direct readers directly—to say “thanks” or “we appreciate our supporters” or “screw off, haters” or whatever else.

It’s also a chance to give some recognition to the second and third place winners, who are listed online but not in the initial BONN issue.

Some of the winners are long-tenured institutions that have won their respective categories for years. Others are ambitious upstarts that fought hard campaigns to win competitive categories. Either way, we’ll tip our hat to them, and hope you do too.

Northern Nevadans, keep an eye out for those winning plaques. They’re a sign of quality.

And local businesses: Beware of shady con artists trying to get you to buy framed plaques. Those people don’t work for us. We give the winners’ plaques away for free. If you haven’t collected yours yet, hit us up: 324-4440, or come by the office, 760 Margrave Drive.

Thanks again to everybody who took the time to vote this year, and thanks to illustrator Kate O’Hara for the gorgeous artwork. And congratulations to all the winners!

Alice's Pet Parlor & Midtown Mutts 225 Redfield PaRkway #101 (775) 527-1859 inteRview with alicia MaRia cPO (chief Pet OfficeR) When & hoW did you get started in this business?

i was living in Ventura California when a friend and i were talking about our futures. she suggested that i become a dog groomer because i was so good with dogs. “What’s that?” i asked. it was 1974; i found out, and went to grooming school in La. i opened my first shop in santa Cruz in 1976. From then on, it was the perfect job for me.

What inspires you to go to Work eVery day?

styling puppies’ hair can be like an art form; i love all forms of art and this was my way of expressing myself and working with animals who i truly love. i crack up at the different personalities of the dogs. When i go to work it’s like visiting with your friends every day. Making new clients is like making new friends. i see that our clients feel happy and proud when they leave the shop with their little tails wagging; it always puts a smile on my face.

well taken care of and beautifully groomed when they come to us. plus, we almost always like the people, too!

What Makes your business diFFerent than your CoMpetitors?

in addition to having a combined 60 years of experience, we make sure that your dog is comfortable with us. We understand that dogs are like family, and we treat them as such.

any adViCe For peopLe Who Want to Make their business “the best”?

advice?? Follow your passion! Find out as much about it as you can. don’t forget to bring your best self in to your business. hire the people who you would want to have working for you if you were the client.

Why do you think rn&r readers Voted you the best?

i think that the readers voted for me because of the trust they feel when they bring their dogs to our shops. Jamie has been with me for 18 years, and we have the same caring nature with their pets. the owners of the dogs know that their pets will be

After experiencing and overcoming some health challenges in our family, we developed a passion for healthy food, and wanted to share it with the community. In 2010 Gino and I opened “Pathways Café” in the UNR medical building, and the response to healthier options was so positive that we felt that we could make a difference by opening a full service restaurant for the Reno community. In 2013, the first Great Full Gardens, located in Midtown, opened for business!

My specialty is breast augmentation. i perform more breast augmentations than any other procedure, and twice the national average. i take great pride when patients come to my office and tell me that they came to see me because my post-operative pictures were the best they have seen. i love to see patients’ faces light up after their surgery, they love their new shape, and their confidence soars. they feel so good about themselves. it makes my job very rewarding.

i think the best procedures and technology out there are sculpsure, smart lipo, and picosure laser for tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation. sculpsure is the world’s first hyperthermic laser to melt fat, non-invasively, in 25 minutes! no surgery, no down-time. we are excited to be the only medical office in all of northern nevada to have this technology. another exciting laser is the picosure laser for tattoo removal. the first of it’s kind, itis a picosecond laser, that blasts ink like a pressure wave. this technology is the best of its kind to remove tattoo ink faster and more effective than any other laser. we have also discovered the amazing results of using this laser for skin rejuvenation. this laser improves facial tone and texture, and takes out unwanted pigment issues of the skin.

love not having general anesthesia, and not going to the hospital. smart lipo is performed right in the office treatment room. it has become one of the most popular procedures i do.

smart lipo is different than traditional liposuction as it is performed in our office with local anesthesia. there is less swelling and bruising than with traditional liposuction, therefore the downtime is reduced. patients

i hope it’s because they recognize my commitment to doing the best i can for every patient on every surgery. My relaxed, easy-going manner helps patients feel comfortable and confident that they are choosing a surgeon that has their best interest at heart. and because i choose safety over the growing trend to do multiple procedures at once. it’s not how many procedures you do, but how well you do each surgery.

it’s really difficult to narrow that down to any one thing. My job is so rewarding on so many levels, the smile on a patient’s face after repairing their child’s cleft lip, the excitement after a patient sees their new look after breast surgery or a tummy tuck. the pride you feel knowing a patient trusts you with a very important and personal event- their surgery. no two surgeries are the same, you never stop learning or trying to perfect your craft. sometimes it’s stressful, sometimes it’s awe-inspiring, but it’s always rewarding.

17 DAY? WHAT INSPIRES YOu TO GO TO WORk EvERY

’17

17

I think a passion and true pride to put out the best pizza (and everything else) that we can make. Having people go out of their way to let you know that it is the BEST pizza, wings, salad, etc that they have ever had or ever had outside of New York is a truly amazing feeling. It also hurts deeply when people are unhappy with the product. We can’t be everything to everyone, but we take it very personally and we try our best to make improvements on a daily basis.

The meats are Boar’s Head and are sliced daily. Our flour in a blend and quality that only our shop purchases (to my knowledge).

WHAT MAkES YOuR BuSINESS DIffERENT THAN YOuR COMPETITORS?

Well for one we are in the shop a lot actually working or just there making sure the food and the service is of the highest quality and consistency. We take a lot of time to hand-make items that other shops get delivered to them. A meatball or sausage that is made from scratch in house tastes a lot different than a meatball that has been made in a huge batch and shipped frozen. Not only is our food a cut above, but we also take time to make sure we have some great artisan beers and hand selected wines mostly from small family owned vineyards.

ANY ADvICE fOR PEOPlE WHO WANT TO MAkE 17 THEIR BuSINESS “THE BEST”?

Train your body to run on a lot less sleep then it’s used to! Just teasing but really it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, passion and a willingness to never stop learning to be successful.

pignic 235 flint street, reno (775) 376-1948 interview with rryan Goldhammer & trevor leppek When & hoW did you get started in this business?

our first project opened in 2010 with Pie-Face Pizza Co, which was later renamed to noble Pie Parlor due to a trademarking issue. Pignic Pub & Patio, as a concept, was born purely by thinking about where we have made our fondest memories and how we like to spend our free time.

For us, these memories were made relaxing on a deck or a porch eating bbQ with our closest friends and family while enjoying frosty beer or delicious cocktail. Creating this kind of every day atmosphere with the capability for customizable private and semi private events has been one of our greatest pleasures.

What insPires you to go to Work every day?

the most inspiring part about the work that we do is that we get to be a contributing member to our greater community. there are so many exciting things on the horizon for reno. We feel privileged to be doing our part in aiding a more diverse and creative place to dine and entertain. Pignic Pub & Patio is a truly unique environment and bar. there are other places with similar elements elsewhere in the u.s., but there is only one Pignic and it is in reno, nv where it belongs.

dance party, gather around a fire pit, have a catered wedding reception, and compete in a best burger competition . . . all under one roof!

What makes your business diFFerent than your ComPetitors?

Well, a lot of those things are answered in the question above, however, when you put them all together you simply get what can only be described as “magic”. there is just this special energy surrounding the building, its guests, the staff, and how food and bbQ bring community together. there is nothing more comforting than the smell of grilled meats joined with the sounds of laughter and clanking glasses.

any adviCe For PeoPle Who Want to make their business “the best”?

get to know your community. think outside the box. use the resources around you to reach common goals. be smart enough to know that you aren’t always the smartest person in the room. treat your team with respect and courtesy. they are the oil that allow the machine to work. be thankful everyday for the opportunities that you have been given and always keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming.

Why do you think rn&r readers voted you the best?

We are so honored to have been voted 1st or 2nd in so many categories!

We are so blessed with one of the best staffs one could ask for. Pignic Pub is built in a 1916 craftsman home which gives it a very warm and comfortable feeling. the adaptability to make use of our Full service bar, edible garden, sun deck, and Community grill yard make Pignic a truly unique destination.

Renown Health 1155 Mill Street, reno, nV 89502 (775) 982-4100 How long Has Renown HealtH been in Reno?

Renown is proud to call the truckee Meadows home for more than 150 years. we were initially founded in 1862 to treat smallpox victims during the Comstock lode silver boom. then, as nevada achieved statehood, we grew into a hospital to serve northern nevadans. today, we cover more than 100,000 square miles between salt lake City and sacramento. as a private, not-for-profit organization, Renown continues to look at the needs of our community so we can better serve our friends and neighbors.

wHat inspiRes Renown HealtH eMployees to go to woRk eveRy day?

our mission is to make a genuine difference in the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve. our employees contributed to developing this mission statement, and collaborate every day to inspire better health in our communities. this means we focus on both health and healthcare – and we not only treat someone’s physical health but we also address their total health – mind, body and spirit. at Renown Health, we treat people, not patients.

our clinical data over 10 years and combined it with dRi’s expertise in environmental data and the social determinants of health from our community. this will help us understand the patterns of disease and illness in our community and engage people in their own health and well-being, with the goal of improving health statewide. the Healthy nevada project truly is a groundbreaking approach to healthcare that can serve as a future model for other states – and it’s happening right here in northern nevada.

wHat Makes Renown HealtH diffeRent fRoM its CoMpetitoRs?

as Reno’s only locally owned and governed not-for-profit healthcare network, all of our earnings stay right here — and are reinvested to bring new facilities, services, and lifesaving technologies and treatments to better serve our community. Renown also supports other local nonprofit agencies who share our vision, and is proud to have contributed $78 million toward research, community initiatives and non-reimbursed healthcare services last year.

wHy do you tHink Rn&R ReadeRs voted Renown HealtH tHe best?

we do more than treat people who are sick or injured — we consider the entire health picture of our region. we work to provide individuals the education and tools they need to live well, maintain good health and enjoy a higher quality of life without ever stepping foot in the hospital.

Renown is proud to partner with a number of incredible organizations in our region that help us advance health in our community. one example is the Healthy nevada project and our collaboration with the desert Research institute (dRi) and genetics company 23andMe. we’ve taken
