  • Exceptional Care and Expertise

    "I found this place based on rating and I will give my true rating for others.

    I had a very intense and annoying headache starting suddenly. Hamid diagnosed the issue accurately and worked on that for a couple of sessions. I’ve noticed an improvement from the first session. Hamid is so professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He becomes our family physiotherapist.

    The other staff are so friendly as well. Trust the rating and their professionalism."

  • No issues since

    "Hamid is the best physio I've ever seen.  I had excruciating pain in my neck and shoulder which he was able to quickly diagnose and effectively treat. Hamid also helped find the cause of the problem (bad sleeping posture) and I haven't had any issues since.  I've seen Hamid for a few other issues and he always impresses me with his knowledge and dedication."

  • We get you back on track!

    "Hamid is simply amazing! My neck and shoulders have always been the problem areas and he has always got me 'back on track' after the first session. And he won't ask for unnecessary x-rays or any scans, etc. - he'll identify the exact issue(s) during the first consultation and get you back to your normal routine after the first session. And he's not the one trying to make money of you - he always gives you posture tips and how to stay healthy, so you don't have to see him again. Keep up the good work Hamid!!"
