Pretty much no wait time. Dr. Tan asked many questions regarding my shoulder pain to help understand the problem and how to fix it. She did some exercises that relieved some tightness and pressure and also showed exercises I can do on my own to help. She’s thorough at explaining and very nice as well!

I saw Dr. Tan twice for plantar fasciitis physical therapy. I had enormous pain on the bottom of both feet and sought help. Dr. Tan has an excellent bedside manner and was thorough in explaining why my condition existed.
Additionally, her therapeutic methods/suggestions were very helpful to getting me to full recovery. I no longer feel any large pain on the bottom of my feet and have continued to work normally again. And it's all thanks to Dr. Tan. If you are seeking physical therapy, I would highly recommend Dr. Tan because if I have any further problems in the future, I'll be sure to reach out to her.

Reason for visit: Back/Neck
Would return? Definitely
Highly recommend Dr. Tan. The initial consultation was informative and she provided (via e-mail) detailed exercises that I could do at home. Sessions were extremely helpful in reduction and prevention of pain. I appreciated the time she took to explain each exercise and it's purpose.
Dr. Tan is very friendly and building rapport came easily.
November 16, 2018Robert J.Verified patient
I had an appointment with Dr. Tan years ago when I was marathon training, and I still talk about it. She immediately identified the cause of my hip pain, and was able to treat the cause of my pain miraculously, within days, when it had been bothering me for months. Only wish I'd gone to her sooner!
September 15, 2018B M.Verified patient
I found Dr. Tan through ZocDoc and have been working with her on my torn ACL recovery for the last couple of weeks. She’s a soothing presence and she really cares about helping you heal. Would definitely recommend her to others!

May 11, 2018Benjamin A.Verified patient
My husband and I have been working out diligently for a few years now and are runners and seemingly since starting to be more active we are always in some sort of soreness or pain. It wasn't until I met Dr. Tan and got treated by her amazing skills that I realized that there is a MAJOR difference between the two. Unfortunately, I came to her a little too late after sustaining an injury but thankfully she's helping me make a lot of progress recovering.

Finding a good physical therapist in the city is hard to find. But when I found Dr. Imelda Tan, PT,DPT, CES, she was not good, she was EXCELLENT. She treated and gave me home exercise program for my left foot and now my pain, discomfort and swelling are almost gone. I stopped running for almost a year because of pain, and now, since doing PT, I started running again without any pain or discomfort. Imelda is very knowledgeable and professional during our therapy sessions and I highly recommend her.

December 15, 2016Phong N.Verified patient
I had a very positive experience with Imelda Tan. She listened carefully about my lower back problems, took notes and helped me understand possible causes. She asked me several questions about my workout routines, everyday footwear, etc, and got all the information before suggesting a treatment plan. She is very knowledgeable and was very good at explaining me more about what was causing my lower back to be painful. After the visit she promptly followed up with an email with exercise instructions. I'm looking forward to continuing my sessions with her.
I highly recommend her!

Imelda is a wonderful physical therapist. She has a great bedside manner and is thorough in looking for the root of your problem and explaining the cause and treatment. She also has a great system of following up with exercise guides and does not push to sell you more treatment than is needed. I highly recommend her.
December 17, 2015Bernice H.Verified patient
Imelda Tan is an extremely friendly and talented PT. She allowed extra time for my initial visit and listened attentively to my description of my problems. She made use of some interesting PT equipment that my previous PT had never used or mentioned. She was very encouraging about my current state and my prognosis, and very supportive of my goals. I look forward to future sessions with her.

This was my first physical therapy session ever, so I don't have anything to compare it with, but I think it was helpful. Ms. Tan used all the approaches my doctor told me would be good for me, and she explained everything very clearly. I'm looking forward to my next session.
April 6, 2015Marilyn L.Verified patient
Dr Tan was very helpful in isolating my hip pain. She gave me a good plan for daily workouts and was able to offer non-prescription advice on reducing inflammation. Overall outstanding value for her service.

I have been seeing Imelda for the last 3 months after a surgery in my fractured wrist. I have seen a remarkable progress since then. My range of motion has improved a lot faster than expected and I am able to perform normal duties with the right hand. With Imelda's care, you're very sure she will not rush and will thoroughly address all concerns after each visit. She's also very flexible with the scheduling and she make amends to your preferred time which really helps a lot especially for working professionals. I highly recommend Imelda who is seeking PT and care.

October 31, 2014Bangjing H.Verified patient
Imelda is hands down the best physical therapist I've ever seen. I went to her after developing tendonitis in my foot from being in a boot for too long from a stress fracture and she actually knew how to treat the source of the pain than just the symptoms - other physical therapists I've been to will just rub my feet. She also showed me exercises that were simple to do at home. Within a few weeks, I was feeling better. She is thoughtful and knowledgeable and actually listens to what you're telling her.
I recently began doing a very intense workout program and started having issues with my knee so I started to see her again. She showed me how to tape up my knee properly to protect it during the workouts. I would not have been able to get through this program without her help.
She is also super responsive via email or text. I ask her all my injury-related questions instead of my doctor because I've found my doctor just wants me to schedule an appointment and take an x-ray and Imelda will actually take time to listen and ask follow up questions to help you figure out what is going on.
Overall, such a great experience working with her - you can tell she really cares about her patients and her job and I highly recommend her if you have any lingering injuries!
September 7, 2014Pamela C.Verified patient
It was my very first time seeing a physical therapist and Ms. Tan made it incredibly comfortable for me. She listened to all of my concerns and paid close attention to my movements and areas of discomfort. She was also both very knowledgable and thorough. She not only showed me the home exercises in person but then also sent me links to tutorial videos by email. I highly recmmend her.
September 19, 2014Kristina R.Verified patient
Very good first visit. I have seen several PT's over the years, some good, some not so good. Imelda was excellent, uses technology to the fullest and gave a lot of guidance on what I need to do between appointments to continue making improvements.
I will continue to see her.
