Best Chiropractor

“I love being able to care for patients and help them find hope and comfort in their bodies. It’s really an honor to be recognized,” says Dr. Lindsay Mumma, president of Triangle Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center, “because there are a ton of great chiropractors in the area!”

Yet Dr. Mumma — who is the only certified DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) practitioner in North Carolina and is sought out by patients who have read about the benefits of DNS therapy in Dr. Peter Attia’s groundbreaking book, Outlive — also recognizes that “we’re still at a point in healthcare in America that the competition isn’t between us and other chiropractors: It’s recognizing that chiropractic is a great starting point for pain or dysfunction.”

And all kinds of patients can benefit from living free of pain and with full function, among the other benefits that come with chiropractic care. “Newborn patients with latching issues, pregnant women birthing the next generation, all the way through preventing falls in elderly patients, and literally everyone in between” can be helped by Dr. Mumma and her team of doctors, coaches, and a rehab chiropractic assistant.

“There’s a lot going on here,” says Dr. Mumma of the practices that set TriangleCRC apart — acupuncture, shockwave, yoga, small-group strength training, infrared sauna, cold plunge, compression boots, and vibration plate therapy — “and we really focus on helping people feel the best they can in their body.”

Supremia Dentistry, Dr. Edmond Suh

Best Dentist

Whether you visit Supremia Dentistry and Dr. Edmond Suh for health or cosmetic reasons, as a patient you should expect something different.

The Supremia team includes several doctors who lecture nationally on contemporary, state-of-the-art dental care, and the team’s core members have been together for well over 15 years. The result, according to Dr. Suh, is “an incredibly skilled team that works well together” and which gained recognition at a national conference as the 2024 Team of the Year.

Despite this national honor, Dr. Suh says that “Local recognition far surpasses any recognition we’ve had nationally. This is the community we serve, and ultimately this is the focus of why we exist.”

And patients don’t only get the benefit of an elite dentist like Dr. Suh — who has been awarded a Wake Living Readers’ Choice Award every year since 2012 — when they seek treatment with Supremia Dentistry. They also enjoy individualized care, time, and clear communication so that, as Dr. Suh explains, “they feel cared for during that time.”

The diverse nature of cultures, backgrounds, and interests adds depth to the practice, whose team members feel fortunate to live in the same community they serve. As Dr. Suh shares, “It’s been amazing to build our family of patients over the last 25 years.”

Coastal Credit Union

Best Financial Institution

“It’s always about why we exist,” says VP of communication Joe Mecca about the member-owned institution’s mission to “help people succeed financially and live better lives.”

Superior service, better rates, and fewer and lower fees are just some of the reasons people choose to bank better with Coastal Credit Union. But, as Mecca explains, “We don’t show up to work focused on making loans and bringing in deposits.” A commitment to being a great place to work is joined by a dedication to excellent member service and making a positive community impact.

As much as the institution’s role in the community stands out, Mecca recognizes that Western Wake itself is a big part of Coastal Credit Union’s company history and success. “Cary was part of our earliest branch expansion, while Apex and Holly Springs have been part of our more recent growth. A lot of the concepts that fuel our success have been tested in Western Wake.”

As Mecca shares about that success and being acknowledged with this award by the members Coastal serves: “It’s always great to be recognized by the people who use our services. We exist to put our members and our community first, so winning something like this tells us that they feel like we’re succeeding in what we’ve set out to do for them.”
