Dr. Lisa Stearns & Jennifer Kiser PA-C are the most caring, empathetic, & knowledgeable pain providers I have ever met. Their "whole person" approach to the treatment of pain - never just the physically impacted areas of the body - is the most comprehensive & effective treatment I've ever received. The on-site yoga classes (directed by Julie) also helped me immensely. Julie offers a wonderful range of classes. Some accommodate those of us with limited movement ability, such as Chair Yoga Fit, Cardio Groove, and Restorative Stretch. I am working my way up to the moderate classes such as Core & Balance and Functional Stability, and feeling much better both physically & mentally. Kudos to the team for the Functional Assessment class, as well - most helpful in determining fitness level, mobility limitations, & which classes will be most therapeutic. Julie is a great instructor, and tailors her classes to individual limits. With her help, I was even able to do a yoga class the day after Dr. Stearns performed my medial branch block. Having all these options for pain relief in one place is the icing on the cake. Between the surgical treatments offered by Dr. Stearns, yoga with Julie, & all the coping skills I've learned from my PA Jennifer Kiser (who takes excellent care of me), the Center for Pain and Supportive Care is incomparable for the relief of my back and neck pain.
