Dr. Tanvi is such a knowledgeable, kind, and professional doctor. She helped explain in very simple terms with analogies the benefits of every pelvic floor exercise we did and tailored my treatment plan to help me after our sessions ended. Not only was she vital in helping me regain control of my pelvic floor, she also took time to get to know me and my personal life, asking for updates. She's a doctor who really cares about her patients and their outcomes. I would highly recommend Dr. Tanvi to anyone and everyone! The BEST!

Google ReviewDr Tanvi is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced physical therapist. She has helped me significantly with pelvic floor issues. She looks at the whole person and what may be the root cause of pain not just treating the symptoms. Dr Tanvi listens and truly cares about helping her patients heal and feel their best. I highly recommend Dr Tanvi to help you on your healing journey.

Google ReviewDr. Tanvi is truly the most knowledgeable, understanding, and compassionate PT I've ever worked with. She has a way of making me feel informed and at ease after every session. She's become such an important part of my endometriosis journey and a genuine advocate for her patients. I never leave an appointment without clarity, answers and tools to use at home.

Google ReviewWhere do I begin… I cannot express enough how much Dr. Tanvi Maharaja has transformed my life through pelvic floor therapy. From the very first session, her knowledge, patience, and gentle approach made me feel seen, heard and understood. She takes the time to explain exactly what's happening in your body, empowering you with clarity and confidence. In just a short time, I've learned more about my body than I had in the past ten years. I've gained new insights and skills that have completely changed how I understand and care for myself. Beyond her expertise, she creates a truly safe and compassionate space, making even the most personal and sensitive topics feel comfortable to discuss. Thanks to her care, I feel stronger, more in tune with my body, and genuinely supported. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tanvi to anyone seeking a pelvic floor specialist who listens, cares, and makes a real difference.

Google ReviewTanvi is an absolute gem! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she also is very committed and compassionate. I feel so comfortable and optimistic working with her! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pelvic floor therapy! I've tried a few different therapists this year and will say without a doubt I'm so blessed to have found Tanvi. She goes above and beyond to truly understand and support you to feel your best.
S.B.
Google ReviewTanvi gave me the quality of life I didn't even know existed. I had a lot of post op neuropathic pain in my abdomen and leg to the point where medications didn't help and I couldn't even lay down/sit/stand/walk because of how much pain I was in. She's helped control my endo flare ups, reduce inflammation and tension, break up adhesions caused by the endo and surgery, and helped to build my abdominal core when I lost all abdominal strength from surgery. I recommend Tanvi to everyone I can, between her knowledge and her personality, I couldn't ask or think of a better person for this job.
K.P.
Google ReviewDr Tanvi is an excellent therapist and I felt totally safe with her. She is brilliant and has a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend her.

Google ReviewWe have been to multiple Pelvic Floor Therapists and Tanvi is at an entirely different level. She knows EVERYTHING that can impact the pelvic floor. She uses ultra sound so you can see the muscles inside your body move and ultimately help you impact the movement better. I have seen real improvements in my pelvic floor which have impacted so much more than just the issue I went there for. I never realized how much your pelvic floor muscles impact your whole body. In addition, she is also, funny, kind and completely non judgmental. The perfect person to deal with for such an intimate issue. I recommend her highly!

Google ReviewI cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Dr Tanvi Maharaja. When I first came in, I was dealing with pain in my lower back and pelvis that I had had for years. I have been treating this through physical therapy and chiropractic, but nothing really alleviated my pain. From my initial evaluation, going to see Tanvi was a game-changer. She performed a thorough assessment and explained my condition and the proposed treatment plan in a clear, understandable manner, which immediately put me at ease. The care was personalized, not a "cookie-cutter" approach. Over the course of my treatment, Tanvi was always attentive, encouraging, and patient. She is warm and kind with a great bedside manner. Addressing my Pelvic floor issue with Tanvi has been life changing for me. I am no longer in chronic pain for the first time in 30 years! I highly recommend going to see Dr. Tanvi Maharaja, she is an expert in her field!
J.M.
Google ReviewI have been seeing Dr. Tanvi for about a month and I feel so cared for. She is patient and gentle and is very knowledgeable in her profession. She makes me feel comfortable and I have definitely noticed an improvement in the pain I've been experiencing. I would highly recommend seeing her!
K.A.
Google ReviewI can't say enough great things about Tanvi. She is so knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable throughout all of our sessions together. I was skeptical about going and wasn't sure that it would actually help for me (dyspareunia and constipation) but we are about halfway through and I already feel so much better. I wish I went sooner. Highly recommend if you are even considering it or curious if it will help. Just go! You can continue living in pain or discomfort and not think it will ever get better or work for you; or you can finally just see someone who can help you get relief. I've worked with many therapists. She is special.

Google ReviewI saw Dr. Tanvi Maharaja before giving birth at an advanced maternal age, and again postpartum for pain resolution and whole body recovery. Tanvi helped me prepare for birth, manage pain, and safely strengthen my core and pelvic floor, which made a meaningful difference in both my pregnancy and recovery. Dr. Maharaja is exceptionally knowledgeable, highly experienced, and deeply patient-centered. She is the best provider I have ever worked with. She takes the time to truly understand the person in front of her, creates a warm and trusting environment, and designs care that feels both individualized and empowering. She respected my physical limits while gently pushing me forward by believing in me—something that made a lasting impact. Because of the real results I experienced and the relationship she fostered, I'm still consistent with maintenance exercise and self-care long after finishing treatment. I would confidently recommend Tanvi to anyone seeking expert care for pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor therapy, or pain management. She is exactly the kind of provider you want on your team.

Google ReviewI started pelvic floor physical therapy with Dr. Tanvi after endometriosis surgery, and I truly can't say enough good things about my experience. From the very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and cared for. She is incredibly knowledgeable about endometriosis and post-surgical pelvic pain, and she took the time to explain why my body was responding the way it was. She approached treatment with so much patience, compassion, and expertise, always checking in and adjusting based on how I was feeling that day. Tanvi created a space that felt safe and supportive every step of the way. This care made a meaningful difference in my healing journey, and I'm so grateful for it. I highly recommend Tanvi for anyone interested in pelvic floor physical therapy!

Google ReviewIf you are looking for a Pelvic Floor Therapist, look no further !! Dr Tanvi is incredible at what she does and such an asset in my recovery. I suffer from Spondylitis and have tried all different types of therapy. I never knew pelvic floor therapy would help. It is definitely a work in process because this is a chronic back pain, but it is definitely working. Dr Tanvi is a very warm and welcoming therapist and makes you feel so comfortable during each session. She listens to you and makes you feel heard. I am so grateful for meeting Dr Tanvi and look forward to my future sessions, in helping me get back to all the things I loved to do, that was but on hold, due to this chronic pain. Thank you Dr Tanvi !!!
E.K.

Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put me at ease, creating a comfortable environment where I felt safe to discuss my challenges. She explained to me what was going on in an understandable way helping me gain valuable insights into my body and its healing process. Thanks to Dr. Tanvi's tailored approach, I am now not only pain-free but also equipped with a deeper understanding of my pelvic floor and how it is connected to all of the pain I was experiencing.

She is wonderful!
M.B.
Google ReviewDr. Tanvi played a crucial role in my postpartum recovery journey. From my very first visit, I felt incredibly at ease — safe and, above all, understood. Thanks to her, I've learned so much about my own body. She has so much experience in pelvic floor therapy and treats you with so much care. She healed me incredibly — within a few weeks, I was back to my old self: no pain, no discomfort.
S.K.
Google ReviewI can't recommend Tanvi enough! She is by far one of the most thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient healthcare providers I've ever worked with. After struggling with postpartum pelvic pain for over a year, she's the only person who has truly helped me make meaningful progress. She takes the time to listen, educate, and create a treatment plan that makes you feel supported every step of the way!

Google ReviewAfter a very difficult experience following childbirth — perineal tearing, my stitches reopening twice, and eventually surgery and extensive repair — I was left with so much pain, fear, and anxiety about recovery. Finding Dr. Tanvi was one of the best things that happened to me. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding, and created such a safe environment. If I could give her 1,000 stars, I would.
L.E.
Google ReviewFrom our very first session, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and trust in her care. Her warm and approachable demeanor made it easy to open up about my concerns, and her insights into the mind-body connection have been invaluable. Dr. Tanvi takes the time to explain everything, ensuring I understood how my body works and how to alleviate my pelvic pain.
J.V.
Google ReviewUntil I met her, I didn't even realize pelvic floor PT was a thing, let alone something I needed. She truly listened to what I had been experiencing since having my first child over 18 years ago and was the first medical professional who connected the dots between my chronic pain and what my body actually needed.
A.R.
Google ReviewDr. Tanvi has been an absolute blessing in my healing journey. The office is clean, calming, and professional, and you immediately feel at ease. She takes the time to listen carefully and create a treatment plan that feels personalized and effective. Her expertise in pelvic floor therapy is outstanding, and she explains everything clearly so you always feel informed and empowered.
A.J.
Google ReviewI feel so lucky to have found Dr. Tanvi on my journey to healing years of unresolved hip, back, and pelvic pain. She makes the information accessible so you really understand what is happening in your own body and can take ownership of your healing. She is trauma informed, an excellent listener, and treats you holistically rather than as a collection of symptoms.
L.L.

Her bedside manner is exceptional — professional, compassionate, and respectful — which matters so much when addressing sensitive pelvic health concerns.
K.D.
Google ReviewFrom the very first appointment, she made me feel completely at ease in what is such a sensitive and personal area of healthcare. She takes the time to explain the root cause of your issue clearly, so you actually understand what's going on with your body, not just the symptoms. If you've been putting off getting help, don't.
O.E.
Google ReviewI had been dealing with pelvic pain and postpartum changes for over 4 years. After only 4 sessions with Dr. Tanvi, I already noticed a huge difference. My stomach became noticeably smaller, my body felt more supported, and even my pelvic health and intimacy improved. I honestly didn't expect to see results this quickly.
R.J.
Google ReviewShe is kind, compassionate, and really wants to see you heal. She is very knowledgeable and has real expertise in the field, and she gives you the tools along the way to get better. I am very grateful to have found her.
R.G.
Google ReviewWalking into a pelvic health appointment can feel a little awkward, but Tanvi had an incredible way of making me feel completely at ease. She is kind, incredibly personable, and genuinely funny. Who knew talking about my pelvis could actually be a highlight of my week? She is the absolute best!
Dr. Maharaja expanded my understanding of pelvic rehabilitation, educating me on how to alleviate my pain and sudden flare-ups. She fostered an environment of healing and acceptance, offering compassionate care and a treatment plan tailored to my specific medical needs. She ensures your voice is heard as you work together toward recovery.
As a new and first-time mom, I'm super grateful for Dr. Tanvi as I begin to strengthen my pelvic floor and core at almost a year postpartum. She's educated in her field and brings such a positive and relaxing environment. I am looking forward to my sessions with her.
Tanvi is an amazing pelvic floor PT! She helped me with the varying aches and pains of pregnancy, birth prep, and postpartum. Her individualized care changed as needed, because every week I had a new symptom. She's compassionate, so experienced, and our sessions are never dull. Highly recommend for pregnant and postpartum mamas!

Google ReviewI'm 35 and have experienced some form of vaginismus since my mid-20s. It affected me greatly during intercourse and even basic gynecological exams, and I kept postponing therapy because I feared it wouldn't work. I finally gave it a try — and I only wish I had started sooner.
J.R.
Google ReviewWhen I first came in for pelvic pain after my hysterectomy — and with a history of three C-sections — I was told it was 'normal' to have pain. After starting my sessions, I've seen a huge difference. I have significantly less pain during sex, and bowel movements are now easier without needing any stool aids. She helped me understand that living with pain isn't something I have to accept.
L.M.
Google ReviewDr. Tanvi is amazing at her job — you will leave your appointment feeling so relieved and calm. She educates along the way so you can learn and address the issue. I am so grateful for how she has helped me in just a few appointments.
M.C.
Google ReviewProbably the only PT — or even physician — I have ever been to who approaches chronic pain holistically. Mine is multifaceted, with multiple causes including stress, chronic tension, and postural issues, and Dr. Tanvi has been an invaluable guiding force where most other physical therapists fall short. If you're dealing with complex issues, a few visits with her will save you an immense amount of time, effort, and money.
C.R.
Google ReviewI started working with Dr. Tanvi because she specializes in endometriosis and pelvic floor dysfunction. She is thorough in her assessments and provided exercises that improved my leakage problem within a couple of weeks. I am still working with her and have seen real improvements throughout my daily life.
S.J.
Google ReviewAmazing, friendly environment and true professionalism. She was the first one who explained what to do about my condition while other doctors neglected the issue. My problems could have been prevented. I wish I had known about this kind of therapy while I was being treated for cancer — my personal life and physical condition would be completely different.
A.S.
Google ReviewPelvic floor therapy truly gave me my life back. After ongoing challenges, I honestly felt like I would never live a normal life again. Working with Tanvi completely changed everything. Thanks to her care and expertise, I regained confidence, control, and hope, and I can now live my daily life without fear or constant discomfort.
T.F.
Google ReviewDr. Tanvi is one of the most intelligent doctors I've ever come to know. She truly cares about her patients and is very passionate about her craft. She takes the time to address each person's needs individually and doesn't use any kind of cookie-cutter methods. Truly one of a kind.

Google ReviewI was on birth control for two years trying to control my endo pain before I was even diagnosed, and even after my excision surgery I was still in so much pain. This is the first time I have finally felt like myself again. Going to Dr. Tanvi is the best decision I ever made. She takes the time to really listen, walks you through the therapy step by step, and always makes sure you're comfortable.
For something as vulnerable and sensitive as pelvic PT, Dr. Tanvi immediately puts you at ease. In my case it was muscular issues post-childbirth. She educates you on what's going on and shares her extensive knowledge on what your improvement plan will look like. Her goal is to see you improve and graduate out — not to keep you forever. Highly recommend!
A.P.
Google ReviewI considered pelvic floor therapy for a long time before I committed, and my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner! I had hip pain and other symptoms I thought were just inevitable, but in just 6 weeks most of my symptoms have resolved. If you have been wondering whether pelvic PT can help, this is your sign to call now!
T.P.
Google ReviewShe has been an incredible part of my recovery after diastasis recti repair surgery. From my very first appointment, she made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to my concerns, and created a personalized treatment plan that helped me regain strength, mobility, and confidence. She balances encouragement with patience and celebrates every milestone.
N.K.
Google ReviewExcellent guidance and genuine care. The recommended exercises helped me recover from my back pain, and I'm feeling much better now. Thank you so much!
D.D.
Google ReviewTanvi is an excellent therapist, very knowledgeable and professional. Even after just four sessions, I'm already really impressed with the care I've received. If you're dealing with pelvic floor issues, I highly recommend seeing her!
J.R.
Google ReviewI started seeing Dr. Tanvi at around 30 weeks pregnant to help prepare my body for childbirth and strengthen my pelvic floor. I've continued through the rest of my pregnancy. I'm now 39+ weeks and I'm due to give birth any day now. The preparation we did makes me feel stronger, more equipped and less anxious for labor. I'm looking forward to working with her postpartum to rebuild my pelvic floor. Dr. Tanvi is professional, knowledgable, and personable- I wish I started going sooner!
T.F.
Google ReviewDr. Tanvi is exactly the kind of 1:1 provider you hope to find: thoughtful, curious, persistent, and genuinely invested in figuring things out with you. I came to pelvic floor PT somewhat hesitant after a disappointing experience with another local provider where I ultimately felt like my concerns weren't being heard. Pelvic floor PT can also inherently feel awkward, but Dr. Tanvi somehow makes it approachable, light, and even fun. I genuinely enjoy my sessions with her, despite having a stubbornly tight pelvic floor and hip pain! What really sets her apart is how much she listens and adapts to you as an individual. She asks, listens, connects the dots, and genuinely feels like she's part of my team. I also really appreciate how curious and persistent she is. The RUSI ultrasound has been especially helpful because it gives us objective feedback. I can tell that Dr. Tanvi genuinely wants to "crack the code" with me. My pelvic floor may be stubborn, but having a provider who listens, keeps thinking, and doesn't give up makes me not want to give up either. I couldn't recommend Dr. Tanvi more highly.
S.P.
Google ReviewI have had the good fortune of seeking the care of Dr. Maharaja for intractable problems I have had been dealing with for many years. Pharmacological agents have only provided minimal relief, but under Dr. Maharaja's treatment, I have seen noticeable and measurable improvement in a short amount of time. She is compassionate and caring and listens patiently. The questions she asks, her approach to treatment and her many years of experience and education, gives her an intuitive sense of the real root cause of the problem and how to treat it. She is a true "healer" in every sense of the word. She has given me a new feeling of hope, where there was none, and I look forward to continuing my journey of healing with her.
Luke
Google ReviewI came to Pelvic PT Plus with constipation and outlet dysfunction, and I have seen such drastic progress since starting treatment. Dr. Tanvi is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and she really takes the time to understand your individual needs. She adjusts the treatment based on what works best for you and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process. I'm so grateful for all the help and progress I've made and would highly recommend Dr. Tanvi and Pelvic PT Plus!
L.S.
Google ReviewExcellent communication, comfortable environment, and very knowledgeable provider. Would absolutely recommend.
C.L.
Google ReviewI was on birth control for two years trying to control my endo pain before I was even diagnosed, and even after my excision surgery about 6 weeks ago, I was still in so much pain. This is the first time I have finally felt like myself again. Going to Dr. Tanvi is the best decision I ever made. I will forever be so grateful to her, she's incredible. Besides being incredibly kind, she takes the time to really listen to you, answering all your questions. She walks you through the therapy step by step and always makes sure you're comfortable and not in pain. A huge plus is her office is so beautiful, it feels like you're in a relaxing spa. For anyone struggling with pelvic pain, 100/10 recommend - your future pain free self will thank you.
