1 Review on “Dawn Chimento”
Dawn has been treating me for several months now for chronic pelvic & pelvic floor pain due to endometriosis and after a recent hysterectomy. She is very knowledgeable on anatomy and expertly teased out symptoms and issues I had that I did not even realize were connected. I had an unrelated scooter accident before one of our sessions and she was able to help with my injuries within minutes! Her knowledge of general musculoskeletal anatomy as well as the digestive and genitourinary systems are superior to any physician I have seen thus far. She is an excellent provider in conjunction with my current pelvic floor doctors. She has so much knowledge on wellness and health that she has taught me during our sessions and that has been very helpful in my overall health goals. The progress I have made in such a short time is extraordinary and I would highly recommend seeing Dawn.
