 Dr. Dawtrey is exceptional at diagnosis and treatment. He gave me relief from my knee problems on the first visit. Over the course of a few treatments I felt a remarkable change in pain levels and my ability to walk. Friendly and helpful office staff as well. I have also seen Stacey Wong for acupuncture and massage to help with my arthritis and back issues. Another excellent service at this facility. We are fortunate to have Oakville Rehab in our community.
