I believe that a large part of getting treatment to improve one’s health is the environment itself. Before I even arrived at Glide, I spoke with Ashlyn to begin the initial registration process. She is very friendly and engaging, and most importantly, sincere. Upon my arrival, she was warm and welcoming and made sure that I had everything that I needed before my first consultation. At the time of this, it was painful to walk with every step, from a severe lower back injury. With no disrespect to chiropractors, that title doesn’t accurately capture the true essence of Dr. Lily: A HEALER. While she has demonstrated specialized expertise and skill time and time again, what I appreciated most from the outset was how she took the time to LISTEN to what had been going on and what brought me to her office. It is so vitally important that a medical professional truly listens to their patients, rather than deciding they know what is best, with minimal input. One of the first procedures she utilized was dry needling. What struck me about that is when I received it before at a physical therapy office, there was a great deal of paperwork, disclaimers, authorizations, before I received a minimal amount of dry needling (without issue). The fact that Dr. Lily used the dry needles so soon after showed me that she was operating on an entirely different level. The worse off you are, the more necessary it is that you go see her.
Dr. Lily takes the health of her patients personally; you can really tell that she is vested in your recovery. It took quite a long time for me to get back into fighting shape, and she counseled me not just on physical activities I should and should not be doing, but also dietary changes necessary to support my healing.
It is important to note that despite all that Dr. Lily can do, she needs our help! We need to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. We are ultimately most responsible for our health, and whether it improves or declines. She gives us the “under the hood” work and the navigation, but it’s on us to follow the course. Also most appreciated is that Dr. Lily recognizes that some issues are beyond her capacity, and counsels patients on alternate routes to take when that occurs.
I also have really enjoyed the red light therapy. It takes several sessions to take effect, but it has improved my overall being, mental state, and focus. It is a great complement to chiropractic treatment.
Probably the most powerful endorsement I can give is that I brought my two most precious jewels, my children, to receive treatment from her as well. Both Ashlyn and Dr. Lily have built a rapport with each of them (no small feat when dealing with teenagers) to the point that they have told me “I need to go to Dr. Lily,” when too much time has passed.
Five stars is not enough for how highly I rate this practice. It is a two woman show of the highest caliber that I would and HAVE recommended to many.
