Ventura County Star
readers have spoken
with their ballots
Enclosed in these pages are the
results of the annual Ventura County
Star Readers Choice survey.
You, our readers, have picked
your favorites in 122 categories of
food and services throughout the
county and surrounding area.
This is one of the largest Readers
Choice sections in the 19 years The
Star has been publishing it.
For the fifth-straight year,
balloting was conducted online only
and occurred over a three-week
period in January and February.
Besides the number of pages,
records were set in the number of
votes (153,226) and number of
ballots (7,453).
The winners in each category
were chosen for east Ventura
County (comprised of Newbury
Park, Thousand Oaks, Westlake
Village, Agoura Hills, Simi Valley and
Moorpark), west Ventura County
(comprised of Camarillo, Somis,
Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura,
Oak View, Ojai, Santa Paula,
Fillmore and Piru) or full county.
The next highest vote recipients
in each category, up to five,
were named as Readers Choice
Favorites, again, either with an east
county, west county or full county
designation.
From the ballots received, a
separate contest was held. To thank
those readers who participated, The
Star conducted a drawing of the
names of those who cast votes.
The 2014 Readers Choice
Contest winners are as follows:
First place: Kathy Cortez of Port
Hueneme, $1,000
Second Place: Laurie Norris of
Simi Valley, $750
Third Place: Jim Scott of Oxnard,
$250
(The results of this survey are not the
recommendations or opinions of The Star.)

Surfn Yogurt has quickly established
itself as one of the countys favorite
places for frozen yogurt and all the
fixins.
Keith Repult opened his first
location near the beach at Pierpont two
years ago, and has already been able
to expand to two more locations. He
credits his shops success to a great
product and the power of community.
When Repult opened his first
location on a lonely corner, he says,
the store brought people back to the
community. Theyve been coming ever
since, for frozen yogurt and more than
35 toppings.
Surfn Yogurt offers lactose- and
sugar-free yogurts, as well.
Surfn Yogurt has three locations:
two in Ventura, at 1038 S. Seaward
Ave. (643-8808) and at 7770

customers. In addition to traditional
Mexican items (tacos, burritos, nachos,
taquitos, enchiladas and quesadillas),
they offer vegetarian items, salads, sides

The salsa bars at each location
include up to eight different varieties
that are all made fresh daily in our
kitchens, Laura said. The most
popular is our original Shack Sauce, a
creamy blend of spices and tomatoes.
Others range from mild to hot and were
created from family or chef recipes.

Californias own renowned wine country.
As a consecutive winner of multiple
Readers Choice Awards, it only makes
sense that the Presto family would offer
multiple choice selections.
Jordan Sweeney brings a proud
range of experience to Presto Pasta, first
and foremost of which is his certification
as a Level 2 Sommelier a distinction
enjoyed by only four people in Ventura
County.
Good food and wine shouldnt
compete, but should balance the palate
in a spirit of culinary harmony. This is
where Sweeneys expertise comes into
play.
Presto Pastas sommelier brims
over with passion as he describes this
new endeavor: I just know that were
all in for a major treat once people are
introduced to these pairings.
Presto Pasta has three locations in
Ventura County: 5722 Telephone Road
in Ventura (658-2898), 1701 Daily

DJs California Catering
For the past 25 years, DJs California
Catering has made its name in how
they tailor to their customer.
We cater to peoples budgets,
themes and menu selection, said
John Blauert, general manager.
The company began in 1991,
by Doug and Jennifer Biggs in their
humble home kitchen. Today the
growing company operates in a brand
new, state-of-the-art 10,000-square-
foot facility.
One of the companys secret
weapons lies in their executive chef,
Eric Bryant. Originally from France,
Bryant is known for his ability to make
unique recipes at great quantities that
are still packed with flavor.
Our most popular dish would
probably be the Chicken Provence, but
our menu is very international and can
be catered to whichever audience so, it
all depends what they are looking for,
Bryant said.
With a full time staff of 30, who have
all been with the company for the last
decade, and a coordinating staff of
roughly 100 servers, the company is
committed, extensive and professional.
We decided early on that we would
never sacrifice quality or service, Doug
Biggs said.
DJs Catering covers everything
from corporate picnics, weddings and
luncheons to barbecues and much
more.

Johnson Drive in Ventura.

Ean Kleiger
Dr. Ean Kleiger knows that going
to the dentist is not always a persons
favorite activity. That is why he and
his friendly staff go out of their way to

comfortable. He has a no waiting
policy and strives to never waste his
patients time.
Dr. Kleiger believes that by treating
his patients with respect and fully
explaining all treatment options and
insurance coverage, they will choose
the best dentistry procedure for
their situation and thus avoid repeat
procedures. He also believes in
providing the most empathetic and
gentle dentistry as possible by giving
each patient the time and care they
deserve.
Dr. Kleiger has been in the same
great location for 10 years. He is happy
to say that the first patient that walked
through door is still his patient today.

Glenn Cohen
Not many doctors treat fellow
physicians, surgeons and health care
professionals on a day-to-day basis.
But for Dr. Glenn Cohen, an orthopedic
hand, wrist and elbow surgeon, its a
common occurrence.
My parents taught me respect,
honesty, integrity and confidence.
My professors taught me how to be a
technically good surgeon. Outstanding
care requires all these qualities, Cohen
said.
Originally from New Jersey, Cohen
moved to Calabasas in 1976 and began
his practice shortly thereafter.
My philosophy has been to treat
people the way I would like to be treated
by my own personal physicians. I
demand a lot of myself and my staff, but
I think that we really do accomplish our
goal of treating patients like family, he
said.
Dr. Cohen has become well known in
the community in his 14 years here. He
is recognized for his outstanding care,
prestigious awards, glittery waterproof

Community
Memorial Hospital and
Ojai Valley
Community Hospital
As residents of Ventura County,
you are the owners of Community
Memorial Health System. Our hospitals
Community Memorial Hospital and
Ojai Valley Community Hospital are
the only community-owned, not-for-
profit hospitals in Ventura County. They
are owned by each of us not by a
national firm, a large corporation or a
government entity.
CMHSs administration, board of
trustees, medical staff and employees
are deeply committed to providing the
highest quality healthcare to our friends
and neighbors throughout Ventura
County. Superb medical facilities play
an extremely important role in our
quality of life, ranking alongside other
factors such as housing, employment
opportunities, effective education and
cultural and social life. We are honored
to be a cornerstone of this community,
having provided more than a century of
noble service.
Now, Community Memorial Health
System is embarking on a new mission,
one that can only be accomplished as
a collaborative effort with the great help
of the community. CMHS is undertaking
two important projects that will expand
and enhance healthcare services at
both the Ventura and Ojai hospitals. A
new hospital is being built in Ventura
that will meet the existing and emerging
needs of patients and their families,
while we undertake the modernization
of the Ojai Valley Community Hospital,
which includes the building of a new
skilled nursing facility.
These projects are needed to not
only meet a state seismic mandate, but
more importantly they are needed to
update facilities so that our healthcare
professionals are able to practice
modern medicine, in modern facilities,
and so that we are able to continue to
attract the next generation of physicians
to take care of our residents for
generations to come.
Community Memorial Hospital is at
147 N. Brent St. in Ventura (652-5011),
while Ojai Valley Community Hospital is
at 1306 Maricopa Highway in Ojai (646-
1401).

Simi Valley Hospital
As a not-for-profit, faith-based
hospital, Simi Valley Hospital is

We are founded on the basis of
whole-person care, which means we
care for our patients mind, body and
spirit, said Kim Milstien, president and
CEO of Simi Valley Hospital. With the
50th anniversary of the hospital coming
up next year, we are thrilled to be an
east county favorite.

Over 20 years ago, Peter Lars came
to Ventura County from Chicago to
start living his dream. What began as a
hobby, while he pursued radio and film,
soon became his passion and career.
I started out doing classroom photos
for an underprivileged preschool. I
showed up in a suit and tie but it scared
the kids into thinking I was a doctor,
Lars said.
Changing to a relatable outfit of
pastels and taking the time to cheer on
each child, Lars quickly landed his first
elementary school in 1994 Elmhurst
Elementary in Ventura and has taken
off since.
We are so grateful for the
community and are always helping to
sponsor the local schools, he said.
Today Cornerstone has grown to
include 21 employees that take more
than 88,000 school photos each year.
Located in Moorpark, the staff all got
together to create a posh-looking studio
