Dr Lee and all of the staff were just wonderful. We arrived early to the check in, and were brought back to the exam room ahead of our scheduled apt time which I was very happy about. Dr Lee saw us within minutes of our arrival and scheduled apt time. He went above and beyond to provide information and reassurance, and he addressed all my concerns thoroughly.

Dr Lee put us very much at ease and has a wonderful manner. We had been very worried about surgery and he assured us that wasn't currently necessary and prescribed alternative treatment. Thank you Dr Lee!

Dr. Lee was exceptional; he attentively listened to our concerns, answered all our questions, and was incredibly approachable. Despite our son being 17 and suffering from social anxiety, Dr. Lee's calm and caring demeanor put him at ease. We felt at ease and never rushed. I would readily recommend Dr. Lee.

This is my second time seeing Dr. Lee and he is so easy to talk to, he seems humble, considering he's a surgeon, he spends a lot of time with you, he explains things very simply. He talks directly to the patient and makes sure they feel comfortable and have the knowledge they need.
