Rachel Sims, RN and Hayden Franks, MD partner to add SKN at Franks Dermatology

Franks Dermatology opened in Suite 320 of the Simmons Plaza Building at 4220 N. Rodney Parham Rd. in 2017. Dr. Hayden Franks and his wife, Lynne renovated the 2,064 s.f. suite and created a beautiful space for his patients from the moment they enter the reception area and into each examination room. They thought of every detail with the patients’ care and comfort foremost in their design. After practicing for more than 20 years, Franks has built a reputation for providing exceptional care. His staff shares the same commitment to the patients. Franks specializes in medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, and skin cancer.

In March, Franks partnered with Rachel Sims Miller to open SKN at Franks Dermatology located in Suite 102 of Simmons Plaza. This 1,977 s.f. space was also renovated to create a welcoming and relaxing space for clients. SKN offers high-end skin care and a wide range of aesthetic products. Miller is a registered nurse and an aesthetic nurse injector with more than seven years of experience. Her training and continuing education keep her informed of the latest, safest, and most effective products and procedures available. She has also developed her own skin care line, Miller Marsh Cosmetics. Like Franks, Miller is passionate about her work and dedicated to providing superior care to each client.

Senior property manager, Cheryl White, says Franks and Miller have been a pleasure to have as tenants. “I wish them great success with their newest endeavor. SKN is a wonderful addition the to the building and community,” said White.

Kelley Commercial Partners leases and manages properties to suit a variety of medical practices. If you would like more information about what we have available, please call 501.375.3200.

Dog Days? Pretty Paws!

Breckenridge Village

Is your pooch looking a little unkempt during these “Dog Days” of summer? Well, our newest tenant at Breckenridge Village Shopping Center, Pretty Paws Pet Grooming, can get your fur baby looking and feeling great again. Tabbitha Taber and Dominick Maida opened this boutique pet grooming salon on May 20th of this year.

Tabbitha and Dominick make a great team. She handles all the pups in the front of the shop, while he handles all the biz in the back. Of course, Dominick will often step out of the office to play with a pup or two. Can you blame him?

Tabbitha has been grooming dogs for about seven years, and in spite of the daily occupational hazard of a dog bite, she absolutely loves what she does. She says, “I love all animals!” At home she has four dogs, four cats, and a rabbit.

Tabbitha started her pet grooming journey as a bather at a shop in Bryant and as she observed the groomers, she knew right away that she had found her passion. Anxious to learn, she spent the next year training in Bryant with a groomer who specialized in show poodles. Since then, she has worked at a number of veterinary clinics and grooming salons before the opportunity to open her own place presented itself. One evening the couple was visiting Angie Creal, owner of Axis Salon in Suite A7 of Breckenridge Village when they noticed the “For Lease” sign in the window of the space downstairs. “It just happened to be the perfect size and had some other features which were exactly what I was looking for to open Pretty Paws,” says Tabbitha.

Working with leasing agent, Brooke Miller and property manager, Missy Cherry, Tabbitha and Dominick signed a lease and got to work. The result is a fun, colorful space designed to keep the animals happy and safe. “It’s all about the animals,” she says. Of course, she loves to please her two-legged clients too, but Tabbitha readily admits, “If I didn’t have to have money to live, I would do this [job] for free!”

Pretty Paws is located in Breckenridge Village Shopping Center at 10301 N. Rodney Parham, Suite A3. They are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are currently offering a 20 percent discount to customers who send a referral. Military and senior citizens (65+) always receive a 10 percent discount.

Arkansas Osteopractic Thrives in Breckenridge Village

Ben Milholen, Arkansas Osteopractic

In October of 2019, physical therapist Ben Milholen opened Arkansas Osteopractic in Breckenridge Village at the corner of N. Rodney Parham and Interstate 430. After four short months, and working through the challenging ups and downs of starting a new business, Milholen had surpassed his plan for growth — and then the pandemic hit. His practice was essentially shut down for two months and he found himself starting over six months after opening. “However, once things got going again, they really took off,” said Milholen. Arkansas Osteopractic now manages a full schedule of patients every day and Milhollen, pending approval, is looking to add therapists representing multiple therapy disciplines to the practice.

Milholen, a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas’s DPT program, has been a practicing physical therapist since 2011. Prior to opening his practice, he was at CHI St. Vincent.

In January, the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy named Arkansas Osteopractic the 2020 Clinic of the Year. Milholen expressed gratitude to his patients for their support and the confidence they have in him.

The clinic offers a wide range of services from electrical stimulation to therapeutic and functional exercises. “ … the clinic is evolving into more than what I had imagined … ,” said Milholen.

Kelley Commercial Partners congratulates Ben Milholen for his tenacity and success during a challenging time. Arkansas Osteopractic is located at 10301 N. Rodney Parham, Suite B-3 in Little Rock and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A full list of services and pricing are available on the website. Call (501) 615-8046 to schedule an appointment.
