Great doctor. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
January 13, 2017Emily M.Verified patient
Dr. Lilja is the first podiatrist I've seen who didn't immediately jump to surgery as my only option. He wants to work with my active lifestyle in hopes to find the relief my foot needs.
More than 1 year agoTraci S.Verified patient
Dr. Lilja is always a very professional Doctor, he listens very well to what you have to say regarding your medical issue and then puts his excellent knowledge and skill to work to address the problem.
I feel lucky to have that kind of great skill and care right in the neighborhood. Thanks Doc.
September 23, 2016Robinson L.Verified patient
I liked that Dr Lilja spent time to make sure I understood the damage to my foot, how it might progress and various options for resolving it. He offered to make a custom insole and also instructed me on how to make my own. Since I had an extra, I made my own. It healed well and months later, it's back to normal.
August 11, 2016Randy R.Verified patient
No complaints at all.
January 25, 2016Lori N.Verified patient

July 22, 2015Caitlin M.Verified patient
First impressions are lasting. Dr. Lilja is very professional, caring, and demonstrated excellent assessment skills. I never felt rushed or was treated like I was just another patient that needed to be seen. I work in Healthcare and was very impressed with Dr. Lilja, and I highly recommend him.
January 6, 2015Carol P.Verified patient
Upon arrival I thought the office was rather in need of a makeover but was trying not to judge a book by its cover. After meeting Dr. Lila, I realized right away that I was dealing with a very competent man who was not only professional but also friendly and knowledgable!

Nice office staff. Doctor Erik was also very detailed and shared his diagnosis and analysis with me. He was very kind. Great appointment. He is now my foot doctor. And I will make an appointment for my husband, too. Parking is a little tight. If you have a bigger SUV, park on the street. Office needs a little paint on walls and little update.

Dr. Lilja is the nicest, most down to earth doctors I have met. He is so thorough and technical but can communicate information on any level. He has the best bedside manner.
