Dr. Lillian was extremely professional and courteous. She listened to all my concerns and went over my MRI report from my orthopedic doctor. A care plan was recommended and after 4 weeks normalcy has returned to my life. I've recommended 3 co-workers and they all agree Dr. Lillian is a jewel.
I visited Dr. Purvis for neck tension and during the visit she told me that we needed to do a "routine" X-ray. I did not explain to her that I am a licensed and certified radiology technologist, CT scan tech with a B.S. in Diagnostic Imaging, 11 years experience in the field, and was uncomfortable with "routine" x-rays. There should always be a medical reason for a diagnostic x-ray. Not only is it unnecessary radiation exposure, but also an unnecessary reason for insurance billing and claims. Against my own judgment, I agreed to move forward with the examination considering it was my first time to visit a chiropractor. Not only was she going to perform the x-ray herself (which should be done by a licensed tech), but she never asked if there was a chance I could be pregnant, never instructed me to remove my bra or anything metal, did not use collimation and was going to x-ray my entire spinal column when my neck was the cheif complaint (again - for another insurance claim), and she did not use a lead shield to protect my reproductive organs (pregnant or not, should always be done for a woman within childbearing age). I stopped her before she proceeded with the x-ray and explained that I needed a shield and there area she was going to x-ray was too large. She told me I didn't need a shield and that is when I ended the entire visit. I'm contemplating reporting her considering her lack of knowledge and patient care. DO NOT make the same mistake I did by going to her, she over billed my insurance and constantly called me DIRECTLY to harass me for the remaining balance, and did nothing to help my neck. Definitely a huge waste of time and money.
