Woodlands Online announces the winners for the 2025 ‘Best of The Woodlands’ Awards

THE WOODLANDS, TX – For sixteen years now, thousands of businesses have been up for a coveted local recognition: the annual Woodlands Online ‘Best of The Woodlands’ awards. The 2025 competition, which took place starting February 1 and ended this past Friday, had tens of thousands of votes cast for hundreds of businesses in more than 100 categories over sixteen types of business.

Each February, the Woodlands area community is invited to vote for their favorite businesses and organizations in multiple categories, including automotive, dining, education, entertainment, financial services, healthcare, home decor & improvement, real estate, retail, and more, with dozens of subcategories to select from.

While dominating any given category in the competition is cause enough for celebration, each year one single business entity is voted on for the honor of Best Single Business in The Woodlands area. Woodlands Online is proud to announce that The Gill Center for Plastic Surgery and Dermatology has been voted the 2025 Business of the Year.

“We are profoundly honored to be recognized as the 2025 Business of the Year by Woodlands Online's Best of The Woodlands,” said Drs. Paul and Anita Gill of The Gill Center. “This accolade is far more than an award – it is a reflection of our shared journey of trust, dedication, and excellence. Every day, our patients inspire us with their resilience, our team drives innovation with unmatched commitment, and our community’s unwavering support fuels our passion for outstanding care. This achievement reaffirms our belief that every interaction matters and that together, we can set new standards in health care. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has walked this path with us, and we look forward to continuing our mission of compassionate, transformative care.”

Winners of the competition (up to one first-place winner and two additional winners per category) will also be honored at a party coming soon and hosted by Ale & Ivy.

Woodlands Online also congratulates a handful of very special companies that have the unique privilege of winning in our inaugural competition 16 years ago and this year’s competition.
