I was originally looking for a professional to perform dry needling. After lots of Google researching, I came across Dr. Steph. Since she's a physical therapist, she has also evaluated me and given me exercises to strengthen my legs in addition to the dry needling. I like that she has a wellness plan, as I was looking for maintenance and not short-term help. Dr. Steph is very knowledgeable in all aspects of women's health and wellness. The only downfall with Dr. Steph, and the only reason I gave four stars, is she does not accept insurance and each session is costly. I find that you get what you pay for though, so if you want an hour of high quality one-on-one time, give Dr. Steph a shot.

Dr. Lydia helped resolve my shoulder pain and limited mobility in no time. I am now pain free and back to my workouts.

So grateful for all the time Dr. Lydia spent with me. I saw tremendous improvement of my issues and was feeling more like myself after only a couple sessions! Highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Lydia very highly. I have had chronic pain in my knee , hip, and back which was worsening before I started treatment. My daughter has had good results so I followed suit. The needleing was new to me and has been very helpful. The exercise program she has developed for me is also beneficial. Working with her is a pleasure!

I have been working with Dr. Steph for several months and it has been healing and helpful in many ways. She understood my body’s needs and is working with me to help bring healing to my muscles. She also took care of listening to my overall wellbeing story. Her guidance to help me learn how to appreciate and listen to my body and make small changes so I can continue my active life style has been a turning point. Her office is inviting and relaxing. She is engaged, supportive and very knowledgeable. I feel empowered, informed and supported. I highly recommend Dr. Steph to anyone who wants a great professional to take care of their physical therapy needs and improve their quality of life.

Dr. Steph is wonderful and takes great care to tailor the PT to your unique needs. I injured my knee in 2004 and have just dealt with random pain and catching in my knee for 20 years! I recently aggravated the injury and went to Dr. Steph for help in building strength and relieving the pain. She gave me weekly at-home exercises to build on what we worked on in our sessions and continued to challenge me so that I came out of PT feeling better than ever! She introduced me to blood flow restriction and dry needling as supplements to the exercises and I really feel like I made more progress with her than I had with other programs I had tried. I did not work with Dr. Lydia but every time I have seen her in passing she is warm and friendly and really cares about her patients. Her passion for helping people shows in how she interacts with everyone.

After being in a bad car accident in 2019 and doing PT for over a year, I was still waking up in pain and would have shoulder and hip pain randomly. I assumed it was just from getting old but when a friend recommended Dr Steph, I figured it was worth a try. Within a few sessions I was literally pain free! Turns out it was still residual from the accident and with a few exercises to work on at home and some dry needling, I could not believe the difference! I'm still seeing her to continue working on getting my strength back but I cannot say enough good things. My biggest concern going in was pricing since this wouldn't go through my insurance but almost a year later, it was absolutely worth every single penny! She is so knowledgeable and easy to work with and will always work within the parameters that work best for you. If you're on the fence, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try. I legit went from waking up in pain most days to 0 pain in almost a year, she is a miracle worker! So so thankful to Dr Steph!!

Life changing! Dr. Steph and Dr. Lydia are truly incredible and the best at what they do. I have done physical therapy for the majority of 10 years. I worked with 15+ physical therapists over the year. But working with Dr. Steph and Dr. Lydia has been different in the best way. My first appointment with Dr.Lydia I was able to share my long and complex history with injuries and surgeries. Dr. Lydia was the first person who truly listened and wanted to know my experience had been. The things that did and did not work. When Dr. Lydia when on maternity leave I switched to Dr. Steph. Never have I met someone so passionate about what they do. She truly cares about everyone she interacts with. You can see her drive to help everyone the comes through the doors. She’s always willing to brainstorm new ways to improve things. I have a hard time keeping up with physical therapy exercise. 10 years and I’m over it. But she introduces new exercises that help build a foundation. If you read all of this then I hope you know this is the best place you could ever go. I’m a broke graduate school student. But I tell you every session here is worth it! I love not using insurance because other issues come up and they are able to address it without a new prescription. I truly feel like I’m paying not only a fair price but I’m getting the best support I ever have gotten. Every appointment I come in for, I have left feeling motivated and encouraged. You cannot pick a better place

I can’t recommend Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Lydia enough. They have provided me outstanding care while helping me overcome some upper back issues to allow me to get back into working out at a higher level. I myself am a PT and I knew I was in great hands after just our evaluation. It’s so refreshing to have a professional as skilled as them to give you feed back and help guide on your healing journey. Thank you so much Stephanie and Lydia and are a great team and provide top quality care!

When I first started seeing Dr. Steph, I was having daily stress/tension headaches up the back of my head and in my shoulders. Through dry needling and exercises that she gave me, I no longer experience those headaches! Dr. Steph has been a Godsend. She is such a good listener and immediately puts you at ease. Not only is Dr. Steph an awesome doctor, she is also an awesome human being!
