 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If there were 10 stars, I would give them all to Zoe.  Her deep understanding of vestibular issues, care and compassion are second to none.  Vestibular challenges (esp BPPV) are acute and can be very scary.  Zoe approaches treatment solutions with professionalism and a deep appreciation for the patient who is being affected.  And thank you to Amanda who helped mobilize support so quickly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had pretty severe vertigo for 12 years when I was finally referred to Zoe. I had been prescribed useless pills and of course nothing ever worked.
My first visit to Zoe was scary at first. By the time I left, I was vertigo free and have been ever since!
She is magic and I will be forever grateful for Zoe giving me my life back!
Thank you Zoe and kind staff!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a great experience here! Zoe is an amazing physiotherapist -
she is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. She really helped me with my pain, took the time to understand what was going on, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I can’t recommend her enough!

I’ve also been seeing Lia for massage therapy, and she is wonderful. She really understands where the pain points are and tailors each session to what my body needs. I always leave feeling so much better.

I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received from both of them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for physiotherapy or massage therapy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I struggled with vertigo for years after a head injury and only learned recently that it could be BPPV and was treatable.
In one virtual session that seemed so simple, Zoe Brown ended my struggles. She is so good at what she does and there needs to be more awareness about this condition and vestibular doctors in general. Thank you Zoe!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Zoe! 2 months of living with BPPV and gone following a 15 minute appointment.

I had never heard of Vestibular Physio prior to this experience, and I greatly appreciated your expertise, knowledge and kindness.

I’ll be back to see you ASAP if I ever experience Vertigo again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Zoe for BPPV treatment. My symptoms were severe, and the appointment was not an easy one for me, but she was incredibly patient, compassionate, and supportive from start to finish.

Her expertise was immediately apparent, and she helped me understand what was happening while making me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process. I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms afterward and am so grateful for her help.

I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with vertigo or BPPV. She combines exceptional clinical knowledge with genuine kindness and empathy.
