Reviews of Fifth Avenue Physical Therapy: Imelda Tan, PT, DPT, CES (Psychologist)

Rob Jiggetts

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.

Great service and best of all I have no more pain thank you!

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 P.T., I started running again without any pain or discomfort. Imelda is very knowledgeable and professional during our therapy sessions and I highly recommend her.

Jessica Agostino

Dr. Imelda Tan is the best. She's extremely patient, informative and professional. I have arthritis of the big toe and Dr. Imelda Tan helped me make extreme progress. Not only is she helpful during her sessions but she also goes the extra mile to ensure that her patients have the tools and knowledge that they need to alleviate symptoms outside of the office. I no longer feel any pain and am walking normally again thanks to her help. She saved my foot and helped me avoid surgery. I highly recommend her!

5.0 star rating 2/19/2017 By far, this is the best physical therapy clinic in NYC. I had my wrist surgery in 2014 where I had troubles finding the perfect physical therapist. Fifth Avenue Physical Therapy delivers beyond expectations, making your experience at ease and well taken cared of. Dr. Imelda Tan is a very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional physical therapist who helped me recover in a shorter amount of time. What makes her one of a kind is her personal touch and flexibility especially for working individuals with varying schedules like myself. She was able to accommodate my needs as well at any given time, which felt like she was an oncall PT for any urgent questions you may have. Most trustworthy and highly recommended bar none.

Dr. Tan is one of the most professional and dedicated PT's I have ever worked with. She takes care to listen to your concerns and will develop specific plans for each patient. I love that there is usually very little to no wait time when getting to her office.

Adriana Santamaria

Amazing, caring, and diligent doctor! She's basically my family's PT and someone I'd 100% recommend to anyone looking for 1:1 care. Thanks for everything, Dr. Tan!

I have had chronic neck pain from a radiculopathy for the past several years and I haven't been able to turn much to either side. Add to that is a new pain on my left shoulder after I picked up something heavy. The minute Dr Tan touched my neck and did some mobilizations I immediately felt relief. She has "magic hands", for the lack of a better word. I have had only 2 sessions so far but there is significant improvement with my pain and I can move my neck better with more ease. My shoulder does not feel so tight as well and I can actually put a bag over the left side more comfortably. She did not accept my insurance so I had to pay out of pocket but it was worth every penny. She is such a pleasant person and really knows her stuff without sounding arrogant and condescending to a regular person with pain. She accommodated me on short notice and saw me promptly when I showed up. I looove her professionalism and I highly highly recommend Dr. Tan to anyone who needs PT.

On vacation in New York for a week and had a disturbing neck pain from the long flight. The Fifth Avenue Physical Therapy clinic is very convenient since it is right at the heart of midtown. More than the location, i am also very impressed by the quality of service that the clinic offers. The physical therapist is professional and efficient. The service is very personal and you know that you are in good hands. Highly Recommended.

Ben Moaba

Great spot in midtown for some physical therapy. The therapist is very knowledgeable and super friendly. My sports related injuries have improved greatly after a couple visits. Will definitely be back.

Ben Zhi Huang

Convenient location and flexible hours. Imelda was very friendly, treated me for shoulder pain. I am back to working out and playing basketball in a short period of time.

Tom P

This is the best PT I have ever been to. Personable, knowledgeable PT that listens and takes into account broader picture. I have suffered for years with pain and other PTs just go through the standard motions. Imelda listens, cares, strategizes and goes the extra mile.

4 reviews 5.0 star rating 2/12/2017 Imelda is awesome! She is flexible with scheduling, knowledgable of her field and very thorough with her patients. She helped both in and out of our therapy sessions by teaching me how to treat my injury myself. I was diagnosed with Plantar's Fasciitis and as active person it felt like the end of the world. She assured me that it wasn't and eventually got me up on my feet and moving again. I am now able to do all the things I could prior to the diagnosis - thanks go her. I've recommended her to several of my friends who also have had extremely positive experiences.

Kareem Collins

Professional, informative, timely.... overall convenient. No waiting room and/or dealing with rude individuals. It was one of the pragmatic sessions that I've ever been to. Dr. Tan took her time with careful observation and comfort to make sure that I was not uncomfortable in pain with anything that she was performing. Pain free and doing the things that I want and like to do so long as I keep up with my home prescribed. Many Thanks
