Best Chiropractor
McCormick Chiropractic Main Line
Berwyn
“When you are in pain, day-to-day activity can be brutal. I was experiencing pain and dizziness. Within a couple of sessions, Dr. Shannon figured out the ROOT cause and fixed it. Amazing. Many medical professionals want to give you meds and send you on your way. Dr. Shannon is thorough and kind and takes time to listen.”

Dentist
Strafford Dental
Wayne
“Best dentist experience ever! Been going since I was 18, over 20 years! Old doc retired and left the biz to his son, who is just as gentle as his father was, and is so honest and genuinely cares for his patients! Excellent hygienist crew, to boot! I know no one LIKES going to the dentist, but I honestly don’t mind THIS one!”
– Kerry G.
“Dr. Liu and her staff are excellent. As a retired physician, I can attest to Dr. Liu’s professionalism, ability and kindness. She and her staff put you at ease the moment you enter their office. They are efficient without making you feel rushed, and create a warm and welcoming environment. They treat each patient with respect and address your concerns – they listen to you. It’s ”old school” medical care at its best.”
– Dave S.
“Tina Ho, MD Facial Plastic Surgery is a practice comprised of boss women — from the practice owner and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ho to her wonderful team comprised of NP Hannah and all of the estheticians and care coordinators–it really doesn’t get better than this! Dr. Ho is a wonderful surgeon and doctor, and her patients know her bedside manner is excellent and her clinical skills are top notch. I’ve loved getting to see this practice be built from the ground up over the past few years, and I can’t wait to see where it goes–the future is bright!”

– Shannon G.
2024 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Fitness Program
Body Precision Pilates Studio
Bryn Mawr
“Rachael Reindl recently took over ownership of this Main Line studio and completely revamped it’s look and feel, all while keeping the tried and true dedication to Pilates as a workout for any age or ability. She truly loves Pilates and loves helping people and it shows in the work she’s put in to the place. The studio is welcoming no matter your fitness level or knowledge of Pilates, and it’s been a game changer for my repetitive motion issues. I feel so good when I complete a class.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“The genuine care from David Mann and his recommendations to help me through a back problem, has been lifechanging. He’s so kind and genuinely cares for his clients and the clinic has so many wellness options. I had Acupuncture with Jaime Marks and she was also very kind and knowledgeable!”

2024 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Integrative Medicine
Arcana Center for Integrative Medicine
Wynnewood
“The doctors at Arcana are exceptional practitioners of osteopathic manipulation, which has been instrumental for several of my family members. These treatments were vital for my son’s return to baseball following a rotator cuff tear and growth plate fracture and for my recovery after developing debilitating migraines following a multi-level spinal fusion. After having such positive experiences with Dr. (Dave) Kanze and Dr. Patterson, we began taking our nonverbal autistic son to see Dr. (Kylie) Kanz for OMM as well. We were beyond pleased to see his self-injurious behavior decrease with these treatments. I cannot recommend this team enough, as they have restored health to my two children and me!”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“Dr. Sara Bloom is kind, approachable, and very knowledgeable. She helped me tackle some existing medical conditions, improved my nutrition, and helped me prioritize my own health and wellness. I’ve never felt better! If you’re a mom and need to give yourself some TLC, I highly recommend Dr. B!”
– Kate C.
“Ilene Steinberg AKA “The Lice Queen” is professional, patient, sweet, understanding, and determined. She works tirelessly until the job in complete! She is also a wonderful member of the community. She does several give back events where she treats families that would not have the means to have a professional service help them. She is always open to phone calls and texts for phone consultations.”
– Jordanna U.
“I have had several massages from Erica in the last couple of months and it has always been a great experience. I like that she comes to my home and brings everything she needs to setup her massage table (heated) right here. She is caring and considerate as to my needs. I look for forward to additional massages in the coming year.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“Alison provided me with THE best massage. It started with her talking time to provide a “wellness check-in”, and then brought me to a peaceful space, with relaxing energy and smells. She is incredible with her hands and I received the best massage of my life with her! She is dedicated to her clients, ensuring she is providing exactly what they need.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“Kymberlie Combs Berrien at Berri Healthy is the best! She uses the perfect amount of stretching, deep tissue and therapeutic techniques. Can’t recommend highly enough!”

2024 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Mastectomy Recovery Clothing
Kelly Bee Designs, LLC
Malvern
“Everything about this is amazing! The seller and the product! I was searching to see if anyone made a sweatshirt like this (or did I invent something?!) and I found Kelly. She responded almost immediately to my messages. Shipping was so fast – earlier than the listed date. And the sweatshirt is perfect! Lightweight. Soft. Pockets!! I came home from surgery with 4 drains. 2 were attached on my thighs. And I was supposed to like what – carry the others?! Along with my wound vacs?! Nope. This sweatshirt saved the day! And then the personal note included. Tears. Do not hesitate to order.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“I had a consultation with Dr. Subbio today after MANY of my own clients having recommended him for a tummy tuck. I had 4 births over the course of 9 years and a weight loss journey that left me with excess skin that has become a pain point for me. From the moment I walked in, Subbio was kind, compassionate, thorough, and encouraging. It’s hard to stand in front of anyone and point out your deepest insecurities. Subbio made it easy and actually left me feeling better about myself upon leaving. I will absolutely be scheduling my procedure with “Tuck Daddy” AKA the most professional and kind surgeon I have met yet. Thank you for taking a delicate situation and treating it appropriately!”

– Bill P.
“Dr. Karen Conn and Dr. Ross Segal are incredibly talented orthodontists whose philosophy isn’t just about straight teeth, it’s about designing each patient’s best smile. The moment you walk into their practice, you know you in for something special. A bright SMILE sign fills the lobby and waiting area along with a gaming system and basketball hoop at the ready for your kids. And everything in the patient area is truly high-tech – including digital scans, 3D cameras, an in-house 3D printer, and fully-digital forms and patient records. The best part is that Drs. Conn and Segal are a combination of fun, kind and thoughtful.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
2024 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Orthodontist
Mastaj Orthodontics
Bryn Mawr
“Dr. LynAnn Mastaj went above and beyond to create a beautiful smile for this older patient! She calmed my fears and concerns and had the most up-to-date equipment and could show me what my smile would look like at the end of treatment. The added whitening products elevated my smile and now I look at least 10 years younger! It’s never too late to have a beautiful smile!”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“I was so nervous to bring my kids to the dentist….and then I went to Groovy Dentistry. The offices are amazing. The staff is amazing. And the care they provided – it was FUN, it was engaging, it was thorough. Jackie is a mom herself and you can tell it seeps into how she treats/manages her patients. Not to mention she has been on call for issues often with my kids. Always going above and beyond!”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent
“Kids Grins is the absolute best at what they do! Our family is strong advocates of starting dental care early on to reduce traumatic visits and great dental hygiene, and having a child with a rare medical condition, Dr Stollman always goes above and beyond to understand the care we need and always makes our family feel like a priority. There is no one better in the area if your child’s dental care needs that special touch and extra care. Every appointment is great, informative, and personal. Thank you!”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent

“Stephanie has been a colleague of mine for years and this year she became my newborn son’s therapist. The support she provided to me and to my son was so valuable during those early months. She was patient, kind, and informative all while going through pregnancy herself. She is a gift and has an incredible skill to offer families.”
– Melissa F.
“I always have a good experience at Broomall Pediatrics. The office is efficient and they offer great options for sick visits. The front desk staff has been so helpful in assisting me with getting samples of my son’s (extremely expensive) formula, which I can’t thank them enough for. They get to know you and make it feel like a personalized experience which is exactly what you want in a pediatrician’s office. All of the doctors are kind and great at assessing/caring for children. I highly recommend this office!”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent

In June of this year, my dad had a stroke and Allie has been a terrific partner in helping us navigate the options for respite stay and finding him the perfect long-term home. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and cares deeply about the well-being of the seniors she serves. That this service exists at no cost to the family is remarkable – it saved us hours of research and made a very anxious time a little less anxious!”
