Patient Reviews
Jul 19, 2017
My hand was swollen and pained. It was difficult to perform my daily activities. I took some pain medicines. The pain was relieved but the swelling was still there. I felt very depressed. I came to see Dr. Lily . After examined and ultrasound, she gave me a shot and a new medication. The swelling and the pain were subsided. I felt a lot better. Deep in my heart , I would like to thank Dr. Lily for taking very good care of me. She has made a significant positive impact on my life.
