I just don't know where to start, well first of all I feel blessed. Every time I look down at my 67 yr old feet I know I'm standing because of him. There are not a lot of Drs that I call Healer, only a handful comes to mind, Dr. Lilja is one of those, a true white coat. When he walks into the Suite/Surgical, a quiet comes over the suite, Respect, Professionalism, I'm an empath, I feel it and as an ex captain of many sports, I want Coach in the Room w/me, Guiding.
When he comes to help me you just feel seen. Dr. trusts me to hold perfectly still & @ the same time carefully do upper body ballet moves to distract myself from Lidocaine & cortisone injections. 5 surgeries, 2 on the left, 3 & bone harvest+grapht on the Rt.
