Apex Physiotherapy & Chiropractic has been recognized in eighteen categories in the 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards for Pickering, a community-driven honor that highlights local businesses residents know and support. The family-owned clinic, established in 2016, received Diamond status in eleven clinic categories within Health, Beauty and Wellness, including Best Acupuncture, Best Chiropractic Clinic, Best Massage Therapy, and Best Medical / Health Clinic. It also took Diamond in Best Naturopathic Clinic / Services, Best Orthotic Services, and Best Osteopath Clinic, among others, culminating in Best Overall Business in Health, Beauty and Wellness.
Seven individual practitioners were also honored. In the Best Chiropractor category, Dr. Jessica Kissoon received Diamond, Dr. Shawn Gargoum Platinum, and Dr. Cameron Tranchell Gold. Dr. Mireille Momdjian earned Diamond for Best Naturopath, and Yi Na Sin Diamond for Best Registered Massage Therapist. Physiotherapist Corey Hafner received Platinum recognition, while Alisha Mistry took Gold.
This matters beyond trophies. The Readers’ Choice Awards are decided entirely by community nominations and votes, so the breadth of Apex’s recognition signals deep trust among Pickering and Durham Region residents. For a clinic that began as a single location and now operates two sites—at 1450 Kingston Road, Unit 7, and 550 Finch Avenue—the sweep reflects its assessment-first, evidence-based approach. That model aims to identify the root cause of a patient’s condition and return them to regular activities, a philosophy that resonates in a crowded health-care market.
Apex offers physiotherapy, chiropractic care, registered massage therapy, acupuncture, athletic therapy, and rehabilitation supported by a full-sized on-site gym. It also provides Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression as an alternative to invasive back surgery, and RPW shockwave therapy. Its interdisciplinary team collaborates on shared cases, catering to all ages and fitness levels. As the practice grows, it remains focused on the same mission set by founder Dr. Christopher Gordon-Tennant in 2016, with owners Corey Hafner and Shawn Gargoum serving as clinic directors.
