Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff
Negative experience: I called up to book after checking with my provider for a physiotherapist that would be included in my NIB cover. I called up the Ringwood Physiotherapist number. The receptionist who picked up was able to book me in and I explained to her that I needed to see a physiotherapist for back pain. She said I’ll book you in for a full body massage and then gave me directions for the Doncaster. Then she realised that the Ringwood number has been redirected to Doncaster. I said that was fine and said I was still able to attend, even though Doncaster is further away. I was late to my appointment and called and luckily the receptionist still fit me in. I then went and had my appointment and when I went to pay at the end I was told that I had seen a remedial massage therapist and not a physiotherapist and therefore it would not be covered By my health fund. When I booked, I was really clear that I needed it to be confirmed to be held covered by my health fund, And I explained that physiotherapy was covered. Then it was a very tense back-and-forth between the receptionist about the difference between a physiotherapist and a message Therapist. She was very condescending and it was felt very unfair when I had been Very clear about my cover. I was put in a really awful spot after a long massage and feeling sore and weak. I won’t be returning here ever again. On a positive note, after much tense discussion she eventually put it through as a physio, and I paid a small gap. I want to reinstate that at no point was I told that I was seeing a remedial massage therapist when I came in there was no confirmation. In future, the receptionist needs to be very clear of who the person is seeing because the place is a physiotherapy and not a massage therapy clinic.
Dear Shannon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you left feeling disappointed, as providing clear communication and a positive experience for our patients is very important to us.
We would like to clarify a few points regarding your booking. When you initially contacted our Ringwood clinic, you were first offered a physiotherapy appointment at our Ringwood location. During the conversation, you advised that you were specifically seeking a full-body massage. Our receptionist explained that massage services were only available on Saturdays at our Doncaster clinic and that this would be an appointment with our remedial massage therapist, not a physiotherapist. You agreed to change your booking to the Doncaster massage appointment.
On arrival, you were greeted by our remedial massage therapist, who introduced himself, and you completed the new patient intake forms specifically for massage therapy before your treatment commenced.
It was only after your treatment, when your private health insurance was processed, that it became apparent your policy did not include remedial massage benefits. We understand this was frustrating and appreciate that it was an unexpected outcome. Although the booking and treatment were for massage therapy, we still worked with you at the time to find a reasonable resolution.
Following your appointment, our Practice Manager attempted to contact you to better understand your concerns and discuss the matter further. Unfortunately, we were unable to speak with you, despite inviting you to return our call at a time that suited you.
We always welcome constructive feedback and continually review our booking and communication processes. We remain committed to ensuring patients clearly understand the type of appointment they have booked and are happy to answer any questions about treatment types or private health fund eligibility before appointments.
We wish you all the best with your ongoing care.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great experience at Doncaster Physiotherapy, especially with Dr. Beshoy. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. His assessment was very thorough, and he explained the treatment plan clearly. I noticed significant improvement in my condition after just a few sessions. Dr. Beshoy is patient, kind, and highly skilled. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality physiotherapy care. Thank you for the excellent service and support

He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and ensures you feel comfortable throughout your treatment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking high-quality care.
Fantastic experience: My physiotherapist shah is one of the best I’ve ever had? I had a torn tendon severe with a possibility of even having surgery. Shah did treatment and brought it down to 94% better and the Cortizone came after it wasn’t the Cortizone that helped me but his professionalism his knowledge Thank you
Fantastic experience: Finally a physio who listens and treats. Doesn’t just ask a thousand questions then send you home with exercises. Highly recommend, regular treatment has helped me a lot. I will continue with my therapeutic treatment as Long as I need too.
Fantastic experience: After 15+ years of visiting Doncaster Physiotherapy, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t let ANYONE else address my neck, back, or any future movement-related issues other than Shah. He’s performed miracles every time I’ve had painful flare-ups or injuries, ranging from mild to chronic issues, and he’s done it with patience, kindness, and remarkable expertise. I have not only recommended him to friends and complete strangers, but brought family members to him, too. In my family, we talk about Shah as the “lifesaver” because there hasn’t been an instance in 15 years where he hasn’t done just that—improved my and my family’s quality of life for the better.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic clinic with a really supportive and professional team. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed and made to feel comfortable. My physiotherapist took the time to properly understand my injury, explain everything clearly, and build a personalised plan that actually worked. I noticed improvements quickly and felt confident throughout the whole process. The clinic is clean, organised, and has a great atmosphere. You can tell the team genuinely cares about helping you get better. Highly recommend for anyone needing physio, injury rehab, or just wanting to move pain-free again.
Fantastic experience: Shah had been a fantastic physio helping me with my neck, back & bursitis. Totally recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Shah has always been excellent with his services
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and follow up each time. Great physio who listens and does great hands on treatment. Looking forward to see Shirouz Elango soon
Fantastic experience: All teams are fantastic and kind, Shirouz is the best, he’s got great experience, definitely recommend Doncaster Physio team.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Shirouz Elango for neck and shoulder pain and he’s been really helpful. Always keeping the sessions comfortable and insightful, can’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Shirouz Elango, fantastic physo. Walked in with a quite painful knee. Went home picked up my dogs & took them to the beach. I walked 12klm in sand the afternoon after my physo session. And backed it up Sunday did another 15klm in the bush with the dogs.
Fantastic experience: Shirouz Elango was very professional & helped me with my bicep injury.
Fantastic experience: Shah is the best physio I’ve ever worked with and I have travelled from QLD just to see him. I’ve been a patient for over 10 years now after he identified the diagnosis every medical professional before him missed. I can not speak highly enough. He’s also not the kind of physio who does nothing but send you home with a list of exercises to do. He works with his hands and brings immediate relief.
Fantastic experience: I went to Doncaster Physio for 5 sessions with my EPC plan and was seen by Sean for all my sessions. He was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. He always listened and gave great advice. Also appreciate him sharing the exercising app which I use at the gym now.
Fantastic experience: There is no better Physio in Melbourne than Shah.
Fantastic experience: Very good treatment from Sean today and as always good service at the clinic.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing my physio called Shirouz Elango at Doncaster physio for hip and lower back pain, and the improvement has been amazing. He uses techniques like dry needling and cupping, which have made a big difference. Highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your recovery. Highly recommen
Fantastic experience: I came here for really bad shoulder pain and Shirouz Elango was an absolute legend. Took real time to understand my pain, and treat it with care. Great clinician, and knows his stuff!
Fantastic experience: Shirouz Elango is very knowledgeable and professional.
Fantastic experience: Came here with enormous pain and after one session started seeing results. I’m so glad I found this clinic. I previously went to a chiropractor who charged me over years and I didn’t see consistent or long term improvement. I wish I had turned to physiotherapy sooner. If you’re unsure, don’t waste your time elsewhere. Book an appointment and improve your life. Free yourself from pain.
Fantastic experience: Very caring team and truly healed my back. Highly recommended. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been here many times and the treatment was great, the physio knew exactly what he was doing.
Fantastic experience: I have seen three physicians in the past 3 years at Doncaster Physio and everyone, has been 100% professional, courteous and helpful. Prices are fair ( actually substantially less) than many other physiotherapists, but more importantly they focus on treatment first, and always, always, provide a plan for the prevention of problem becoming a reoccurring one. . 10/10 . Can’t recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Shah’s an amazing Physio, one of the best! Very professional & cares for his patients… Has helped me with my chronic neck/back & always welcomed by Laura’s kind nature. They are truly an amazing & caring team!!! Thank you so much for helping Me…
Fantastic experience: Shah is an exceptional physiotherapist. I had been struggling with chronic neck pain for a long time, and despite trying medications and injections, nothing seemed to provide lasting relief. However, after working with Shah, I finally found effective treatment that has significantly helped manage my pain. His expertise and approach are truly remarkable, and I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with musculoskeletal pain.
Negative experience: Unhelpful physio appointment. I do not recommend George. He took a long time to discuss solutions but did not provide any treatment. He looked unsure about how to treat my symptoms and does not do Clinical Pilates anymore even though the website says he does. I was then booked in for treatment with a different physio for the subsequent appointment which doesn't make sense, as you would want continuity between the person who assesses you and gives you treatment.
Hi Emilie
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
George conducted a thorough assessment during your initial appointment, diagnosing lower quadrant syndrome and providing treatment, including ultrasound therapy and soft tissue massage. He also discussed a treatment plan focused on progressing to strengthening exercises and Clinical Pilates. However, as he was transitioning out of our clinic, he was no longer running Pilates sessions, which may have caused some confusion.
To ensure continuity of care, we scheduled your follow-up appointment with another highly qualified physiotherapist who could continue your treatment plan. Our goal is always to provide the best possible care and outcomes for our patients. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your treatment plan, please feel free to reach out to us directly.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery
Fantastic experience: Shah has been absolutely amazing. I have been going to him for years and always been able to attend to any issues I’ve had. I Highly recommend him for all Physio needs.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Shah for 10 + years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have a really bad back and Shah is the only one I trust to fix it. Would and have highly recommend him to anyone that needs a physiotherapist. Thanks Shah your a legend ❤️
Fantastic experience: Shah and his team are all very professional and knowledgeable Physiotherapists. When I've been here I have confidence that my problem will be dealt with and that motivates me to do the exercises set between visits. These guys also care about their patients and you almost feel like you're being treated by a friend. Shah, with his team, has run his practice this way for many years and it's a credit to them.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and well educated around body and rehabilitation techniques. Responsible about patient and doing great care and treatment. Always ready to answer all the questions and physiotherapy procedures.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgfull professional team, specifically Shah, providing excellent physiotherapy services, highly recommend to whom the quality of service is important to them. Being there several times about different issues for my family and myself, always received the best treatment as is expected. Thank you guys.
Fantastic experience: Got an acute wrist pain due to inappropriate hand grip when doing reformer, and the muscles on my hand is very painful when lifting. Shah is very knowledgeable and his treatment is effective and precise. Feeling much better the next day. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and professional physiotherapy service. Thanks to Dr Rebecca, my recurring neck and back problem has recovered well after only two treatments (around 20 minutes each visit, plus doing stretching exercises at home to relieve pain). Price per visit is reasonable (under $100) given that I can see huge improvements of my problem within one week, would recommend to anyone.
Negative experience: Awful! Specially if you let them know it's your first time being in physio. Then you will receive the worst treatment which is either too short or too little. Also, 15 minutes delay is considered normal here without any apology.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience, however, we would like to clarify a few points for the benefit of anyone reading your review.
Our records indicate that your physiotherapist assessed you and documented that you were experiencing pain and inflammation. Based on your clinical presentation, the physiotherapist made the appropriate clinical decision to provide approximately 20 minutes of treatment. Extending or performing more intensive treatment when a patient is experiencing significant pain and inflammation is not necessarily appropriate or beneficial and, in some circumstances, may aggravate the condition.
We also understand that you experienced a delay before your appointment. On this occasion, the physiotherapist was delayed due to an unexpected emergency. This was explained to you when you were invited into the treatment room, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delay.
We strongly disagree with the suggestion that patients who are attending physiotherapy for the first time receive shorter or poorer treatment. The duration and nature of treatment are determined by the patient's individual presentation, clinical findings and what the treating physiotherapist considers safe and appropriate—not by whether it is their first appointment.
Our priority is always to provide safe, clinically appropriate and individualised care rather than simply extending treatment time when doing so may not be in the patient's best interests.
We are always happy to discuss concerns directly with our Practice Manager and would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss your experience with you further.
Fantastic experience: Shah is the best Physio I've ever come across - the previous physios I've been to are really slack and they don't really help you with the problem. Some of them even left in the middle of your appointment doing something else. However, Shah is very devoted and his skills are super good. That speeds up my recovery after my car accident
Fantastic experience: Shah is the best physio, he knows exactly what he is doing and actually helps. Cannot recommend more highly.
Fantastic experience: I won't say anything about the treatment yet because I've only visited once, but the therapist knew exactly what he was doing and the customer service was spot on.
Fantastic experience: Great service, staff wonderful and very happy with treatment..
