Dr. Stephanie Chan, PT / Doctor of Physical Therapy, Brooklyn NY

I was in a situation where I was unable to walk. My left knee had given out on me suddenly and made it difficult for me to maneuver though my daily activity. Having been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, I needed one-on-one, individualized therapy to allow me to regain my mobility. Dr. Chan specializes in that service.
With Dr. Chan's instruction, I noticed differences in my mobility immediately after each session. She has expert knowledge on how the body works and explains everything. She immediately found the root cause of my injury and designed an individualized rehabilitative stretch/exercise program within my comfort zone, that allowed great relief from the excruciating pain that I was experiencing. Toward the end of each session, she took the time to teach me a series of stretches and exercises to do at home for pain relief. After each session, I was able to not only put weight on the injured knee, I was able to move about with less pain.

Dr. Chan is an exceptional therapist. In my experience, she is unique in her client focus and commitment to resolve not only the relevant injury but also its underlying causes. I worked with her for several months to recover from a meniscus tear and later a calf sprain. She was a joy to work with, expertly calibrating demands to drive continuous progress in line with my limits. Her lessons will long stay with me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I recently had the privilege of working with an outstanding physical therapist in Brooklyn who truly transformed my life. I had been dealing with excruciating shoulder and back pain for months, and it was affecting every aspect of my daily routine. Desperate for relief, I sought out the expertise of Stephanie Chan and I can confidently say it was the best decision I've ever made for my health.

From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Chan immediately put me at ease with their extensive knowledge and compassionate approach.

What stood out to me was Chan's thorough assessment of my condition. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, asked detailed questions about my pain, and performed a comprehensive evaluation. It was evident that Chan was not only highly skilled but genuinely invested in understanding the root cause of my discomfort.

The personalized treatment plan crafted by Chan was nothing short of miraculous. Through a combination of targeted exercises, hands-on therapy, and expert guidance, I began to experience significant relief after just two sessions. Chan was not only a skilled practitioner but also an incredible motivator, encouraging me every step of the way and providing clear explanations about the purpose of each exercise.

What truly sets Chan apart is her commitment to empowering patients. She not only focused on immediate pain relief but also equipped me with the knowledge and tools to continue my rehabilitation independently. The level of education and support I received surpassed my expectations and made me feel like an active participant in my own healing journey.

After a few weeks of consistent sessions, I am thrilled to report that my shoulder and back pain are virtually nonexistent. I never thought I would feel this good again! Chan has not only restored my physical well-being but has also instilled in me a newfound appreciation for the importance of proper body mechanics and self-care.

If you're in Brooklyn and in need of a phenomenal physical therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie Chan. Their expertise, empathy, and dedication to patient care are unparalleled. Thank you, dear Stephanie for giving me my life back (and shoulder) ;-)

Dr. Chan not only helped me through several injuries but completely changed how I prevent them. I appreciate how she took the time to assess things at the start and end of each session and I'm grateful she gave me homework (aka ways to prevent injury). I recommend Dr. Chan to anyone in the area!

Dr. Chan helped me with a recently torn calf muscle. She was outstanding in the early care of my injury, laid out a clear plan for future recovery, and provided advice on exercises that I could do on my own. Not only was she patient and caring, but she was also direct, which I appreciated! I look forward to continuing to work with her as I rehab my torn muscle. Highly recommend!

Dr. Chan is a great physical therapist! I recently went to her with a nerve issue in my neck that left my left tricep, pec, and lat muscles feeling useless. I was pretty freaked out, but Dr. Chan was incredible in helping me recover.

She took the time to diagnose my condition properly, making sure we were on the same page. Then, she worked her magic, gradually guiding me through exercises to regain my strength. It was amazing to see the progress I made in just 5 weeks of treatment.

Dr. Chan is not only super knowledgeable about the human body, but she's also an excellent communicator. She explained everything in a way that I could easily understand, patiently answering all my questions. Plus, she's a really cool person to work with!

I can't recommend Dr. Chan enough for any body-related issues. She knows her stuff inside and out and gets you back on track in no time.

Thanks a so much Dr. Chan!

Dr. Stephanie Chan is the greatest Physical Therapist I have ever been a patient of and that's saying a lot. I've seen PTs and Orthopedic Surgeons regularly over the past 20 years because of osteoarthritis development at an early age in my right knee. It got to a point where all medical recommendations I was receiving were for me to have a partial or total knee replacement, that was until I saw Dr. Chan. With her help I was able to avoid surgery and strengthen my leg in ways I never thought were possible again for me. I've even gotten back to playing sports. She gave me back a life I thought I had to give up and I will be forever grateful for her.

After reading all these great reviews I had high hopes for working with Dr Chan but sadly I was very disappointed. I saw her for a neck/shoulder issue that I've been struggling with for a while but did not find much improvement from our sessions and did not feel supported in our interactions.

Dr. Chan is by far the best physical therapist that I’ve ever visited. And I've visited PTs for over 35 years! After a year of unending back pain, I started visiting Dr. Chan. I am now pain free, and have returned to all the activities that I was forced to stop for a year. I couldn’t be more grateful. Dr. Chan is an incredible clinician, empathetic, and has wonderful sense of humor.

I am so glad to have found Dr. Chan. I was on crutches because of a very painful ankle-from arthritis and a bad ankle surgery 5 years ago. At the time of the surgery I went to a PT mill which basically provided no therapy. After two or three sessions with Dr. Chan I was able to walk without the crutches and with periodic follow up sessions, am doing so still 6 months later. Dr. Chan provides personal caring therapy and I am always amazed that when I finish a session my emotional outlook is brighter because of the wonderful conversations we have while she is working with me and my ankle.

I highly recommend Dr. Chan for PT. She has helped me with back/hip pain that other PTs were unable to diagnose correctly. Her approach is holistic and individualized. Her exercises were easy to follow and maintain on a daily basis. And she is really nice and great to interact with.
