Because They Care…
The team at SDK Therapy is incredibly knowledgeable and talented, but what sets them apart is they really care about their clients. As I was receiving treatment with Melody, she would go above and beyond lymphatic massage and compression treatment. She also proactively worked on finding unique solutions to other complex ailments I was dealing with by reaching out to a network of doctors and specialists to help find ways to accelerate my recovery.
A Great Comfort
My treatment at SDK is almost over and I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the care I’m receiving. Grace is my primary lymphedema therapist and the feedback, education and support she has provided, along with her gentle CDT treatment, have been extremely helpful.
A Recommendation from Dore
I have been a patient of Stephanie Dessi Kiley and her practice since June 2021 At that time, I was suffering terrible pain and swelling of my left arm as a result of a lymphedema infection. After assessing and discussing my condition, Stephanie devised a treatment plan that would alleviate the present situation as well as help me deal with the ongoing challenges of lymphedema, going forward.
Stephanie’s the Best
Stephanie’s the best. How do I know? Because I’ve been treated by other lymphedema therapists, so I’m able to compare. Stephanie spends more time on decongestive massage and her protocol is more thorough than at other facilities I tried.
Grace’s Quiet, Steady Support
My treatment by Grace Chen for ‘cording’ was enormously helpful physically: I steadily improved with her excellent ministrations, exercises, and encouragement. And, just as importantly, Grace’s quiet, steady support of me throughout my course of radiation treatments contributed significantly to my emotional well-being during that very difficult period.
A Recommendation from Melanie
I began seeing Stephanie about two weeks after having a bilateral mastectomy; I am amazed by her approach and my results in working with her. The first session was incredible, Stephanie walked me through my fear of hurting myself, demonstrated my ability to raise my arms over my head, walked me through a healthy approach to using pain killers and sent me home with a few stretches to do each day.
A Heartfelt Letter
While I wish I had not been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have said from the start I feel blessed to have met such special angels along the way who have nursed me back to health.
