How We Care for You at LISM

Most clinics treat the label — arthritis, IT band syndrome, hypertension. We treat the person behind it. At LISM, we ask what created that label in the first place, and we work backward from there. Your health is not a collection of isolated parts; it is a living ecosystem, and lasting wellness happens only when every layer is addressed, from the ground up.

By mapping your care through the Soil, the Root, the Trunk, and the Branch, we make sure that whatever brings you through our doors, your whole body is prepared to heal, prevent disease, and sustain performance.

The LISM Tree

We think of your health as a tree. Every layer matters — and lasting wellness starts from the ground up.

At LISM, we move fluidly across every layer of your health. We address acute needs at the Branch, reopen healing pathways at the Trunk, optimize your cellular foundation at the Root, and cultivate the daily habits at the Soil.

Whether you come to us injured, unwell, or simply ready to live better — that is the difference between temporary relief and lasting human performance.

    Dr. Sri is truly amazing! Our family has been patients of his for over five years, and even after moving more than an hour away, we continue to make the drive because he is that exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the well-being of his patients. He takes the time to listen, respects and values his patients’ wishes, and makes treatment decisions a collaborative process by openly discussing options and ensuring you feel heard and involved in your care. His nurse, Pam, is equally wonderful! The two of them make an incredible team, and it’s clear how much they care about the people they serve. We feel very fortunate to have found such an outstanding provider and couldn’t recommend Dr. Sri and his team more highly!

    I can’t recommend Lexington Integrative Sports Medicine enough! Dr. Sri first treated my daughter for a softball shoulder injury while he was still practicing at UK, so after being seen in the ER following a severe car accident, I knew exactly who my first call would be. Pam got me set up with a telehealth appointment right away. I was able to show him my injuries, get clear guidance on what to watch for, and send updates and measurements through the portal over the next several days. He personally communicated with me via the portal and by phone throughout the process and called in medication to help with the pain. When I was seen in office, he performed an ultrasound and a thorough exam before determining the next steps. What I appreciate most is that he treats the patient first instead of automatically ordering expensive scans. If imaging becomes necessary, we’ll do it, but not before giving my body the opportunity to heal and seeing how I respond to treatment and physical therapy. The level of access and individualized care I’ve received is incredible. In a traditional setting, my insurance could have already been billed thousands, while I’d likely still be calling an overwhelmed office trying to get answers. I’m so thankful to be in his care and truly feel like I’m in great hands. This is how healthcare should be. I feel beyond blessed to have crossed paths with this phenomenal doctor and the sweetest nurse, Pam.

    I had my first appointment with Dr. Sri today, and I was impressed with the care I received. He took his time, was incredibly thorough, and was very patient about answering my questions. I learned so much during the appointment, and I never felt rushed or like I was just another appointment on the schedule. My first appointment was 90 minutes, so there were no stones left unturned! Afterward, he sent me detailed notes from our visit, along with a personalized treatment plan and exercise regimen. I really appreciate that because it gave me something tangible to refer back to and made it clear that the plan was tailored specifically to me. I love the idea of having one doctor who actually gets to know you as a whole person. Having someone who can be both your sports medicine doctor and your primary care doctor feels like how it should be, where your doctor really knows you, not just one small part of your health. I genuinely believe Dr. Sri prioritizes his patient’s health, vitality, and longevity above all else, and he has the knowledge and experience to help you reach your goals. For me, the personalized attention, time, knowledge, and continuity of care make the price well worth it. I’m really glad I found this practice and am looking forward to continuing my care here.
