Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia Best Dermatologist and Best Skin Cancer Treatment Thank you for choosing us as the Best Dermatologist and Skin Cancer Treatment in Hall County!

Dr. Forte Rabb opened our practice in 1972 and he was joined by his son, Dr. Daniel Rabb in 1993. For almost 50 years, it has been our goal to treat each of our patients like members of our own family. We have a wonderful team of providers and staff who treat a wide variety of medical and cosmetic skin issues, but our practice has a special interest in the detection and treatment of skin cancers.

Dr. Daniel Rabb’s focus is now primarily Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery, performing more than 5000 Mohs cases to date.

What is Mohs? With an amazing cure rate of better than 99%, Mohs Surgery has come to be accepted as the single most effective technique for removing Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcino¬mas, the two most common skin cancers. During Mohs surgery, a local anesthetic is used and thin layers of cancerous tissue are removed until only cancer-free, healthy skin remains. If your cancer is recurrent or large, is in a delicate area such as the face, hands or feet, or if your cancer is considered “aggressive,” then Mohs is the best choice for you. Dr. Rabb’s surgical scars are minimal, with most of his patients saying that their scars are barely detectable.

Post operative.

Please call our office today at 770-536-7546 for an appointment and remember that you need an annual inspection of your skin to catch skin cancer early, when it can be easily treated.

Dr. Rabb of Dermatology Associates of Northeast Georgia

General Manager

The last page of the 2020 wall calendar is finally in the trash bin and we are all looking forward to better days to come from 2021.

That said, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the incredible job done by our local business community in meeting consumer needs in what, for most, was the most difficult year in recent memory.

Despite all the challenges thrown their way, many of our local businesses not only succeeded in meeting customer expectations, but excelled, as reflected by their nomination and selection as Best of Hall.

For the 2021 edition of our annual Best Of competition, we had more than 9,000 businesses nominated and more than 14,000 people casting some 147,000 votes.

As a result of the ballots cast, more than 220 businesses are being recognized this year as the Best Of their individual categories.

The huge outpouring of support for local businesses in our fifth Best Of balloting shows both how loyal local customers are to their favorites, and what an exceptional job those businesses do in meeting customer needs on a daily basis.

Even in the most challenging of times, excellence deserves to be recognized, and we are proud to do so with this Best Of Hall magazine.

As a proud Gainesville native, lifelong resident of Hall County, and a professional who values relationship more than real estate, to be voted Best Real Estate Agent, 3 yrs in a row, is a great honor. I am so thankful to the family and friends — and especially clients and professional peers who have become friends — for their support of me as I do what I love in the community that I love. I am privileged to serve individuals and families as they journey through the home buying process every day in a county that is quickly growing in both culture and commerce.

Whenever you find yourself ready to buy or sell, I’m ready to come alongside you and help you on the journey!

Dianne Hicks, a North Georgia REALTORÂŽ with eXp Realty, is a Hall County native, devoted wife, and mother of three with four grandchildren. After a career in insurance and construction that spanned more than 20 years, Dianne launched into real estate and it was a match made in heaven.

The process of buying and selling a house, from the initial hunting or listing to the final closing, can be a very overwhelming process, but it doesn’t have to be! A seasoned and skillful agent like Dianne can serve as a partner, a guide, a teacher, and a friend while also managing the tiny and complicated (but important!) details of the process.

Natalie V. Teston thanks the Gainesville-Hall County community again for their continued support in voting her the “Best of Hall County—Best Lawyer” for the third year in a row. Winning this award after the COVID pandemic caused such a momentous shift to the practice of law is especially meaningful to Natalie and her family law team at Coleman, Chambers & Rogers, LLP. Natalie is looking forward to continuing to dedicate her law practice to serving the families and children of the Northeast Georgia area in all aspects of domestic litigation and Guardian ad Litem work. Natalie plans to complete her training as a domestic mediator in 2021 and to begin offering mediation services in June of 2021.

Her growing team has set firm records and is truly beloved by clients, as is evidenced by over fifty 5-star reviews online.

For Natalie, the ultimate compliment to her work is the number of referrals and repeat clients she receives. Regarding her clients, Natalie states, “Clients must trust their family law lawyer with their lives, their children’s lives, their homes, their finances and their future. It is humbling to be chosen as a representative for these litigants and we take very seriously our responsibilities to our clients.”

At every step Natalie and her team are employing strategies to get their clients the best results possible, as quickly and cost-efficiently as

A Helping Hand Home Care was established by Anslee Wilson in 2011 after being a caregiver for her grandparents and experiencing the impacts of family illness. It was then that Anslee realized the need for quality caregivers in the North Georgia Community and so began A Helping Hand Home Care. This year we are elated to be celebrating their 10-year anniversary.

Over the years we have served over 500 clients and their families,

providing resources to support the overall health of our clients, and giving their families rest and peace of mind. All of our team members have firsthand experience caring for their loved ones and clients, so they are dedicated to matching your loved one with a caregiver that compliment your needs.

Additionally, we have added a fully equipped training room to our campus. The training room allows CNA’s and PCA’s a socially distanced and practical way to learn new skills and build on the skills they already have.

Here at A Helping Hand Home Care, we are committed to providing the best care possible.

We do this by insuring we staff a team that is fully trained, licensed, fingerprinted, background checked, bonded, and insured. We strongly believe that if we invest in our staff that they are better able to serve our clients and when we better serve our clients, we are better serving our community. As part of our commitment to excellence, we have established a team that believes in the power of community and helping others by including a full time Registered Nurse.

Thank you, Hall County and North Georgia, for choosing us as Best Audiology/ Hearing Care Center! It is a great honor and we truly appreciate the support this community has shown – your votes have made it possible for us to be the recipient of this award for four years in a row!

Everyone wishes to live a happy healthy life. If you were to look at your health as a chain, you would see a connected series of links. Your brain, heart, eyes, and other organs are links which must all work together to keep the body functioning. Each link plays a vital role in the chain and your overall good health.

What happens if one of the links, such as the ability to hear, fails to work properly? NGA is committed to be “your link to better hearing.”

Correcting a hearing impairment requires detailed knowledge of how ears respond to sound and familiarity with the latest hearing technologies.

Patients appreciate the personal touch Dr. Means

BGW Dental Group’s support for their patients goes above and beyond in-office visits.

Several common dental problems that are treated by BGW Dental Group include bad breath, canker sores, dry mouth, gum disease, TMJ, and more typical tooth complications from cavities to issues with sensitive teeth.

Thank you for once again voting our team Best Home Remodeler, Best Kitchen & Bath Remodeler, Best Contractor and Best Patio & Deck Design/Installation!

Did you know that kitchen remodeling is the No. 1 home improvement project that homeowners tackle?

That shouldn’t be a big surprise, considering the kitchen is the heart and soul of your home. It’s where memories are made, where family and friends gather for the holidays and special occasions, as well as a place

where traditions and recipes are passed down from one generation to the next.

In 2020 many homeowners found themselves spending more time in their kitchens than ever before. Though a global pandemic may have limited large gatherings for many, it caused many others to cook and eat at home regularly. It also caused some to realize their current kitchens might not be meeting all of their needs.

Whatever the size of your kitchen remodeling project – big or small – Tracy Tesmer Design/Remodeling can help transform your kitchen dreams into reality. Our design/build experts work with you – from initial concept and securing necessary permits to selecting finishes and applying that final coat of paint.

In addition to providing you with an updated, functional space that meets your family’s unique needs, a great kitchen remodel is a sound investment, adding tremendous value to your home.

Are you considering a remodeling project in your home or office? Contact our award-winning professionals today at 678-846-3651.

M & R Equipment Rental Best Heavy Equipment & Tractor When the Crumley brothers purchased Gainesville’s hometown rental equipment store just over a decade ago, they had no idea the growth that would be coming to North Georgia over the next ten years-nor the support of the community they would encounter along the way.

“We unlocked the doors and hoped a customer would walk in,” said Nathan Crumley. “Lucky for us, customers have continued to trust us with their rental equipment needs, and we could not be more honored to serve them day after day.”

Nathan, along with brothers Will and Don, are honored to receive the 2019 Best of Hall distinction for their family owned and operated business. They credit their success to their customers, who have entrusted M&R to supply them with everything from boom lifts to jack hammers to skid steers and more.

Since coming under new ownership in 2008, M&R Rental and Sales has grown its team of equipment rental experts and expanded its inventory to provide equipment to all of its customers, whether they be a large commercial construction company or a fearless weekend warrior.

“We are raising families here, and we are committed to playing a positive role however big or small in the future growth and development of this community,” said Will Crumley.

Their commitment to providing the highest level of service to their customers has prompted new and innovative ways for the business to handle the needs of a growing community. Multiple drivers now spend their days delivering and pickingup equipment across the North Georgia region. An experienced team ensures that equipment is well-serviced before being placed into the hands of a customer.

Front desk personnel guarantees walk-in customers are greeted promptly and that all questions are answered with clear and knowledgeable responses.

The business, which was founded in 1967, now even boasts a robust website, www. mandrrental.com, to help visitors see the latest earth moving, aerial, underground and compaction equipment in M&R’s fleet.

“We cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for our customers, who have provided crucial feedback and encouragement to us over the years,” Don Crumley said. “Our greatest privilege is serving them with the best in equipment and tool rentals day after day.”

M&R Rental and Sales is open Mon. - Fri. from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

For more information, please call 770532-3331 or visit M&R Rental and Sales at 128 Enota Avenue in Gainesville.

Longstreet Clinic Best Neurosurgery, Best Obstetrics, and Best Women’s Health Longstreet Clinic: Safely caring for you For 25 years Longstreet Clinic has proudly cared for families across our community. Our footprint has grown to include 200 providers across 19 medical specialties and 10 north Georgia locations. And we’re still here, providing high quality, safe medical care tailored to you.

It is no surprise that routine screenings, including those for cancer, saw a steep decline during the beginning of the pandemic, prompting alarm from medical professionals. We want you to

know there’s no need to delay the care you need. Cancer screenings such as mammograms and colonoscopies, as well as routine physicals and wellness exams are critical to maintaining your overall health.

“It’s important to get screened and catch things before it’s too late.

Just because you feel fine doesn’t mean you’re always in the clear,” says Dr. Fernando Aycinena, a board-certified colorectal surgeon.

Data has showed that pediatric immunizations dropped 42% in the spring of 2020 when compared to previous years. Immunizations

play a critical role in pediatric preventive care by providing individual protection for children as well as overall herd immunity.

Longstreet Clinic continues to provide primary and specialty care services, both in person and via telehealth when appropriate.

We continue to follow health and safety protocols so that you can continue getting the quality medical care you need.

Visit longstreetclinic.com or call 770-343-3430 to find a provider near you.

Frenchies Modern Nail Care Best Nail Salon Walk into our Frenchies Modern Nail Care studio in Braselton and you’ll know you’re in for something special – Something far beyond the typical mani-pedi experience. Frenchies is literally a breath of fresh air, as we do not use acrylics or “nail dip” in our studio, which eliminates the harsh chemical odors and unhealthy toxins found in most express nail shops.

Our key differentiator is that we are very passionate about being clean. We use a medicalgrade autoclave to sterilize our tools, and we use high-quality,

organic, cruelty free and vegan friendly products for our services.

We have nail polish options that are toxic-free, vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.

Frenchies is proudly locally owned. Eric and Rona Falls are both enthusiastic about nail care and are very excited to offer a clean and hygienic option to consumers. They are eager to have found Frenchies after their own unsatisfactory experiences with the available nail care options in the country. Gainesville is Eric’s hometown, and Rona remains actively involved in the

58 | The Times | BEST OF HALL 2021

local school system, PTA and Girl Scouts.

Another part of the Frenchies difference is our team of welltrained and highly skilled licensed nail technicians and master cosmetologists who provide exceptional customer service for every guest.

Thank you for voting for us to win Best of Hall 2021! Our heart is full. Thank you for supporting this small business. We are committed to continue bringing our community the clean, natural and healthy nail care at the cleanest nail salon in Braselton!
