Welcome to Mindful Medicine and Wellness MD,
a Direct Primary Care Medical Office
At Mindful Medicine and Wellness MD, we believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered healthcare that empowers individuals to lead healthier and happier lives in the way that medicine should be practiced, the DPC method. Led by Dr. Lily Girson, our practice offers comprehensive primary care services with a focus on prevention, wellness, and personalized attention. However, unlike traditional fee-for-service models, DPC practices do not rely on insurance reimbursements for each service provided. Instead, patients pay a predictable monthly fee for unlimited access to their primary care provider and a set of comprehensive services, fostering a more personal and direct relationship between patients and their physician.
About Us
Located in the heart of The Main Line just outside of Philadelphia, Mindful Medicine and Wellness MD is dedicated to serving the diverse healthcare needs of our community. Dr. Lily Girson is a board-certified primary care physician with a passion for holistic health and a commitment to building strong doctor-patient relationships. With her expertise and compassionate approach, Dr. Girson strives to provide each patient with the highest level of care and support.

The Power of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. Translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of life” (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a rich and comprehensive outlook to a healthy life, emphasizing diet, lifestyle, exercise, rest, meditation, and the use of herbs.
Why Choose Direct Primary Care for Your Healthcare Needs?
Personalized Care: Dr. Girson provides individualized attention and takes the time to listen to your concerns. In most traditional fee-for-service practices, physicians have 15-20 minutes per patient. Dr. Girson will give you the time that you need, rarely with any constraints on time.
Accessibility: We offer convenient appointment scheduling, same-day or next-day appointments, and often “visits” can be done over the phone or even text from the comfort of your home with close follow-up in the office when appropriate.
Comprehensive Services: From routine check-ups, chronic disease management, acute care, aesthetics, and holistic health through the teachings and practices of Ayurveda and lifestyle medicine, we offer a wide range of services to meet your healthcare needs.
Community-Centered: Proudly serving The Main Line, we are committed to supporting the health and wellness of our local community.
