Best Family Doctor
We’ve all seen those fuzzy black-and-white films and
television shows that depict a caring family doctor
curing the household of fevers and chicken pox with
the magical items inside his doctor’s bag. Our readers
voted Dr. John Knepper as the modern version, so
give him a call at the first sign of illness.

Best Fitness center
It’s East of the Cooper and a few miles from the shore,
but East of the River Pretty Near the Beach was too
long a name. But don’t join East Shore Athletic Club
for the name. Join it for the wide range of exercise
equipment and fitness gear and for their available
personal trainers. They’re “gonna pump you up!”
