Find out what our clients have to say about Dr. Daphne…
“I recently had an appointment with Dr. Tan for my lower back pain. Working in a hospital and being on my feet all day started taking a toll on my back. Towards the end of the day, my back would ache so bad to the point where sitting or sleeping without pain feels impossible.
Dr. Tan was very attentive to my needs and she treated me in a way that was gentle enough to not aggravate my back, but strong enough to make sure the pain was alleviated.
I’ve been to other physical therapists before through my insurance but the care wasn’t the same. Unlike the others, Dr. Tan spent a whole hour with me without interruption. I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for high quality care!”
“Dr. Daphne is the best!
I’m a pretty athletic person, I work out at the gym and do pilates and barre regularly, but I came in for hip and low back pain that hasn’t gone away. My mobility and flexibility was heavily limited for almost 2 months before I decided to come in. After one visit, the pain was nearly gone, and after working with Daphne for a few weeks, I am happy to get back to barre and pilates pain free! I feel much stronger and Daphne corrected me from what I was doing that was causing my pain, and I learned how to avoid re-injuring myself.
The rest of the team is also always very helpful and welcoming whenever I come in, especially the ladies at the front desk, Alanna and April. Thank you HealthFit!”
