BEST Northshore's

The Best of the Best

2 0 2 5

TWENTY-TWO 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 2004, then-editor Francie Unger and publisher Joanne Gallinghouse created The Northshore’s Best to recognize and honor local businesses. As the original 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 our logo as 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 organically 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 2025 winners and thanks to all of you who have helped make The Northshore’s Best successful for the last 22 years.

DR. FARHAD X. ADULI Heart The of the Matter

It has been said that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. For Dr. Farhad Aduli, being selected by Sophisticated Woman readers as the Northshore’s Best Cardiologist for the fifteenth consecutive year is affirmation that his patients know how deeply he cares about them and that he provides unparallelled healthcare, both in and beyond matters of the heart.

The interventional cardiologist says the honor is deeply humbling and motivating, not only for him but also for every member of his Louisiana Heart and Vascular team, including physicians, mid-level providers, nurses, and all of the staff, each of whom share his dedication and commitment to patients.

“Whether a patient needs a complex heart procedure or is simply seeking preventative care, my focus has always been on their total health,” he says. “Very often, symptoms that feel cardiac in origin are actually rooted in other conditions. While optimizing cardiovascular function is our primary mandate, I have always felt a responsibility to address those overlapping needs for the most comprehensive results.”

Dr. Aduli’s practice has recently undergone a significant expansion, which he says is a natural continuation of the work the practice has always provided. In many cases, he says, patients either lacked a primary care physician or had cardiovascular risk factors that were not being adequately controlled elsewhere. By offering primary care in-house, Dr. Aduli says patients can have all of their treatment coordinated under one roof for improved outcomes.

Because managing risk factors is so critical to cardiovascular health, the practice now includes dedicated

providers focused on a number of medical issues that have a direct, measurable impact on cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, and overall quality of life. Recent additions include a men’s health clinic addressing low testosterone and related hormonal issues and a medical weight loss program as an essential factor toward wellness.

Aggressive glucose and lipid control for diabetic patients is another crucial service the practice provides. Diabetes is one of the leading drivers of peripheral vascular disease, with the consequences of missed or delayed diagnosis potentially severe, including limb-threatening complications.

The broadening of healthcare services also includes comprehensive venous medicine and a varicose vein clinic. After three decades treating cardiovascular disease, Dr. Aduli recognized that medicine had largely been ignoring half of the circulatory system—the venous side—which is responsible for returning deoxygenated blood to

the heart and lungs. He emphasizes that treating both sides of the circulatory system is imperative toward complete cardiovascular care.

He says a staggering number of patients suffer from leg swelling, discoloration, chronic pain, or discomfort due to venous disease and varicose veins, compounded by the overall lack of public awareness and underlying causes. As a result, most people simply endure or ignore these symptoms until they progress to serious complications like leg ulceration.

“I understand this intimately, because I was once that patient,” says Dr. Aduli. “I did not recognize my own symptoms until they became disabling. Seeking treatment myself ignited a

commitment that led me to pursue board certification and deep clinical expertise in venous medicine.”

The treatments can also address women with chronic pelvic pain, which may be caused by pelvic congestion syndrome, a condition rooted in deep venous reflux. This syndrome is frequently overlooked and undertreated. Dr. Aduli and his team are able to provide thorough, minimally invasive treatments for this issue, plus a full spectrum of venous disorders, from superficial varicose veins to complex deep venous reflux.

The practice’s recent growth also includes aesthetic services, a logical progression utilizing the highly technical laser treatments beyond varicose veins. The staff now includes a full-time medical aesthetician offering comprehensive skin rejuvenation, dermal ablation, hair removal, and cosmetic treatment of spider veins.

“Coordinating all of these services under one roof allows us to be far more proactive,” he says. “When your cardiologist, primary care provider, and specialty care providers are communicating directly and reviewing the same patient’s record, we are able to catch problems earlier and manage risk more aggressively. Even the aesthetic options are an important part of a patient’s overall well being. Collectively, the integration creates a truly comprehensive model toward total wellness.”

Over the course of his career, Dr. Aduli has performed close to 30,000 minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures with exceptionally low complication rates. He says that depth of handson experience means precision treatment of both peripheral arterial and venous diseases comprehensively and safely, often catching and intervening at stages when treatment outcomes are far better.

That Sophisticated Woman readers have honored Dr. Aduli’s cardiac care for the fifteenth year is a testimony to his commitment to his patients, outcomes and overall, improved quality of life.

“It’s a credit to our entire, exceptional team and the community which we have served for 26 years,” he says. “In many ways, they have become our family, and we’re honored to be entrusted with their care. We will never lose sight of what a privilege this is.”

SHANA ROIG, founder of Legacy Insurance, has been named Northshore's Best Insurance Agent and Best Life Insurance Agent. She has been recognized among the Northshore’s Best of the Best. In an industry increasingly driven by automation and call centers, Roig has built her agency around something more lasting—relationships.

While the award bears her name, Roig credits her dedicated team for the agency’s continued success and shared commitment to service.

Building Stronger Kids and Communities: Camps, Care, Parties, and Programs

Mandeville Sports Complex is a familyowned and operated business established in 2005.

Families hoping to give their children memorable experiences often find that the greatest impact comes from programs that unite fun, physical activity, and community connection.

Our programs reflect that belief. From summer and holiday camps to after-school care, birthday parties (with four unique options: Jump Zone, Diamond Mine, Pool, and Outdoor Pavilion), and a full range of gymnastics, cheer, swim, and fitness programs, we create environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

While many of our programs are designed for kids, we also provide family fitness memberships that allow parents to stay active alongside their children. With a swimming pool and outdoor multi-purpose field for volleyball, basketball, and more, our facilities support healthy living and shared experiences for the entire family.

Mandeville Sports Complex is located at 23052 LA-1088, Mandeville. Phone: 985-727-7277 www.MandevilleSportsComplex.com
