Dawn has been instrumental in helping to get my son's encopresis under control. After nearly 9 months of struggling, I was lucky to find Dawn, who was immediately reassuring and calming. She gave me an easy-to-follow plan and took a huge weight off my shoulders. My son made incredible strides in such a short time and I truly don't think we would be where we are now (no accidents!!) without Dawn's support. I was originally worried about the location as I am based on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, but aside from an initial in-person evaluation, we have been meeting virtually via telehealth, so it has been beyond easy to continue working with Dawn. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Dawn Chimento’s pelvic physical therapy practice. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, heard, and completely at ease. Dawn brings an exceptional level of knowledge, compassion, and professionalism to her work, making what can be a sensitive topic feel completely comfortable and empowering. Her approach is thorough and individualized—she took the time to truly understand my concerns, explain the underlying issues, and develop a personalized treatment plan that made a noticeable difference. Each session was not only effective but also educational; I left with a much better understanding of my body and how to support my long-term health. If you’re struggling with pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, or any pelvic floor dysfunction, I highly recommend working with Dawn. Her care is truly top-tier, and the results speak for themselves.

Dawn is absolutely amazing! Not only is she knowledgeable but she is patient, kind and explains things in a way you can put it into daily practice. If it wasn’t for her and her “tips and tricks” we would still be struggling to potty train our son! I am so grateful to her, highly recommend!

Dawn has helped me immensely throughout my pregnancy and my first six months postpartum. She is compassionate and truly goes above and beyond with her patients. She would even reach out to me on days I wasn’t scheduled to see her just to make sure I was doing okay. Dawn provided with the proper techniques and exercises that I think made my postpartum recovery a little easier :)

I love Dawn! She is such a kind person with a wealth of knowledge about pediatric pelvic health. I'm a mom of two little kids and Dawn has helped us so much. She has provided so much education on pediatric pelvic floor care and my kids now have zero issues. Get these issues resolved early on for your kids, you won't regret it! Dawn is the go-to for this kind of stuff.

I’m seeing Dawn for pelvic floor therapy and core restore after a really hard pregnancy and terrible labor with a severe birth injury. I honestly thought after birth I was doomed and would never get better given the extent of my injuries, but Dawn has helped me so much. I still have a little bit to go on my healing journey but the progress I’ve made in just a few months is incredible. Dawn is out of network unfortunately but it’s honestly very worth it, especially if you are trying to heal from a traumatic birth. When I first was looking for physical therapists I trialed an in network PT and learned that in network pelvic floor therapists only spend a half hour with you, feel very one size fits all and feel very rushed like a factory. Dawn’s sessions are very different than that, they are an hour long and it’s very personalized to your specific needs. She’s down to earth, easy to talk to and lets you ask any as many questions as you want. I feel comfortable with her and always leave sessions feeling good. She’s equipped in many different areas and always takes your concerns seriously. I look forward to continuing my sessions with Dawn :).

I cannot recommend Dawn enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. Dawn is not only highly knowledgeable in pelvic health, but she also takes the time to listen and tailor each session to your individual needs. Her approach is compassionate, thorough, and empowering. I’ve seen real progress in my recovery thanks to her expertise and encouragement. If you're looking for specialized pelvic floor therapy with someone who genuinely cares, this is the place to go!

Life-Changing Physical Therapy for Chronic Pain, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and Core-Muscle Issues (As a Male Patient) I’ve been working with Dawn Chimento for the past 8 months, and the progress I’ve made under her care has been nothing short of life-changing. I came to her after seeing more than 20 different doctors across Queens and Manhattan without any real answers or effective treatment. My case involved complex muscular discoordination, severe chronic pain, and core, breathing, and pelvic floor dysfunction that left me effectively bedbound. Before finding Dawn, I felt like I was being strangled by my own body. I couldn’t laugh, cry, or even speak without serious discomfort. At one point, I was using a wheelchair to go more than 10 feet. From the first few weeks of working with Dawn, I began to feel real relief. Over time, her calm, patient, and deeply knowledgeable approach helped me regain control over my body. Her expertise in the intricate connection between core strength, breathing mechanics, and pelvic floor coordination is exceptional. She listens, adapts, and customizes every aspect of treatment to your specific needs, even with complex or unusual cases like mine. It’s not one-size-fits-all. Dawn’s decades of experience and ability to treat men with pelvic floor dysfunction (something often overlooked or misdiagnosed) make her uniquely effective. Many people assume pelvic floor PT is only for women, but I can personally attest, as a man, to how transformative and essential her treatment has been for me. Today, I experience no daily discomfort, I’ve returned to commuting and working in the office, I’m eating normally, and I’m regaining strength, muscle, mobility, and confidence. I now walk multiple miles a day unassisted and climb more than 5 flights of stairs to my apartment. I still have more healing to do, but I’m light-years beyond where I started and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. For anyone dealing with debilitating chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction (male or female), core instability, breathing restrictions, or the frustration of unanswered medical questions I can’t recommend Dawn Chimento highly enough. She gave me my life back. Her approach is thorough and individualized—she took the time to truly understand my concerns, explain the underlying issues, and develop a personalized treatment plan that made a noticeable difference. Each session was not only effective but also educational; I left with a much better understanding of my body and how to support my long-term health. If you’re struggling with pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, or any pelvic floor dysfunction, I highly recommend working with Dawn. Her care is truly top-tier, and the results speak for themselves.

Dawn is amazing! She gave me the confidence that she could help in our first meeting. It's not easy to talk about these issues but she makes you feel so comfortable. I'm already seeing improvements and am looking forward to having my life back
