Apex Physiotherapy & Chiropractic has been recognized in eighteen categories in the 2026 Readers' Choice Awards for Pickering, a result that underscores the clinic's deep roots in the community and the breadth of services it offers. The awards, determined by local nominations and votes, signal that residents value a single destination for a wide range of health needs, from physiotherapy to naturopathy.
The clinic earned Diamond recognition in eleven clinic categories, including Best Acupuncture, Best Chiropractic Clinic, and Best Massage Therapy. It also took Diamond in Best Medical / Health Clinic, Best Naturopathic Clinic / Services, Best Orthotic Services, Best Osteopath Clinic, Best Physiotherapy Clinic / Services, Best Physiotherapy for Athletes, Best Reflexology Service, and the top honor, Best Overall Business in Health, Beauty and Wellness. This sweep matters because it demonstrates that a multidisciplinary model can excel across diverse treatment areas, rather than specializing in just one.
Individual practitioners were also celebrated. In the Best Chiropractor category, Dr. Jessica Kissoon earned Diamond, Dr. Shawn Gargoum received Platinum, and Dr. Cameron Tranchell received Gold. Dr. Mireille Momdjian took Diamond for Best Naturopath, and Yi Na Sin earned Diamond for Best Registered Massage Therapist. In the Best Physiotherapist category, Corey Hafner received Platinum and Alisha Mistry received Gold. These individual accolades highlight that patients are not just satisfied with the clinic as a whole but also with specific caregivers, a sign of consistent quality across the team.
Founded in 2016 by Dr. Christopher Gordon-Tennant, Apex has grown from a single Pickering location into a two-site clinic with owners Corey Hafner and Shawn Gargoum serving as clinic directors. Its mission centers on honest, evidence-based care that begins with a thorough assessment to find the root cause of a condition. The clinic offers physiotherapy, chiropractic, registered massage therapy, acupuncture, athletic therapy, and rehabilitation supported by a full-sized on-site gym. Advanced technologies include Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression as an alternative to invasive back surgery, and RPW shockwave therapy. This interdisciplinary approach, where practitioners collaborate on the same case, may be a key reason for the broad recognition. As demand for integrated health services rises, Apex's model could serve as a blueprint for other clinics aiming to build community trust.
