Highly recommended – went above and beyond.
Chen Li showed exceptional professionalism and genuine care in helping me through my injury. From the very first consultation, she took the time to listen carefully, assess the situation thoroughly, and explain everything clearly and compassionately. Her calm and confident manner immediately put me at ease, and her follow-up and attention to detail were outstanding. She truly went the extra mile to ensure I received the best possible care, including arranging a timely referral to a specialist surgeon.

Chen is supporting me with hand therapy through TFCC tears on both wrists. I would recommend her to anyone with hand or wrist injuries.

Chen was absolutely amazing!! I broke my finger, and my healing was slow and worst of all — my finger wasn’t healing straight! So a friend recommended I see Chen. After just two weeks of treatment, my finger is now straight and my healing has significantly improved. Chen was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!

I visited Chen for help with pain in my thumb and wrist. She was so knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the issue I was experiencing and provide highly effective treatment. Chen is such a delight to deal with and I would recommend her without a doubt for treatment for hand/wrist concerns.

Dr. Chen Li is truly outstanding. Her medical expertise is remarkable—my carpal tunnel symptoms eased within just two days after her treatment. I am very grateful for her professional care and highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and compassionate medical support.

I had an elbow fracture that needed a splint urgently as I was traveling overseas the next week. Chen fitted me in on a Friday evening and made a comfortable splint for me so I can wear on my holiday!

She was caring and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend 😄

I had a fantastic experience working with Chen for my wrist therapy. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and her approach made a huge difference in my recovery. Chen took the time to explain everything clearly and tailored the treatment to my specific needs. I always felt heard and supported throughout the process. I’m so grateful for her expertise—highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled hand therapist!
I’ve been seeing Chen since January after I broke my hand in a car accident and needed surgery. From day one, she’s been amazing - super friendly, flexible, and very knowledgeable.

She also suggested I get a second opinion from another surgeon, which turned out to be the best decision. I had another surgery that’s already made a big difference.

I was also really anxious at the start as I was in pain and very squeamish, and Chen always made me feel heard and supported, never like I was overreacting. She eased me into everything with so much care. I’m really grateful to have had her help through all of this.

I saw Chen Li for a wrist injury (TFCC and nerve impingement) that was impacting my ability to continue with my sport (dragon boating). Chen was able to get me back in the boat and back to full strength very quickly, with no reoccurring issues. Highly recommend!

I've been seeing Chen since my injury last year. She is super professional and was the only hand physio to be able to diagnose me accurately. She recommended that I see a really good specialist and now I'm on the road to recovery, all because of her expertise.

Chen was very professional and knowledgeable.

I had a hand fracture and didnt have to wait in emergency department or wait to see a hand surgeon.

She said saved me a lot of time and I had a good recovery after seeing her.

Highly recommended!

I can’t thank Chen enough for coming to my assistance at such short notice when I found I was being discharged post operatively to a hospital that would have no hand therapist easily accessible.
She truly saved what could’ve been a very poor outcome for my hand following complicated surgery. Her professionalism, the up-to-date techniques and knowledge that she has, the equipment and guidance that she gave to me cannot be measured.
Thank you so much.

Chen is a great therapists, she has given me helpful advices and made a custom splint for me that instantly relieved my pain.

Chen gave me some excellent advice on some hand issues I've been experiencing over a long athletic career.

Her advice was practical, funded on great expertise and tailored to my individual needs. She made me a soft splint to wear during sport, which was extremely helpful

I enjoyed working with Chen highly recommend her.
