I can’t recommend Dr. Chelsey Vasquez enough to anyone in need of healing and PT care. After I suffered a debilitating acute-onset health condition that severely impacted my nervous system, my doctor recommended Dr. Vasquez. Most of the medical professionals I consulted were puzzled by my condition, but Dr. Vasquez was so incredibly knowledgeable and never gave up on me, and bit by bit, she brought me back to functioning normally again. There were weeks I was just living to get to our next appointment because it made that much of a difference in my daily life. I have no doubt that her expert care, wisdom and warm, supportive presence were crucial to my healing journey. She gave me hope when I was running out of options, and was instrumental in me regaining my health. I will always be grateful to her!

I’m an esthetician… so that means I’ve struggled with severe neck and back pain for years now. I tried everything, massage, chiropractor, pillows, etc. Really anything that can give me some relief I was willing to try. Nothing worked. I came across a post that Dr Ian Nay was seeing new clients so I gave him a try. He told me that I should have significant relief after a few sessions… honestly I didn’t really believe it but WOW! To my surprise HE WAS RIGHT! I have unbelievable relief. If you’re on the fence or in any amount of pain, just do it… And see Ian, he’s so professional, informative and just overall a pleasant human to be around. Forever client here!
