5.0 star star star star starDr Lee was on time and explained everything very easily to understand and asked for my input for decisions that needed to be made. He was very receptive to questions and gave honest answers. He also stayed for over 30 minutes and didn’t appear to be in a rush to leave as other doctors are prone to do.

5.0 star star star star starIn 2013, Dr. Lee performed spinal cord surgery for our son. He was outstanding in his care and concern. To see the improvement in our son was like a miracle. I can only imagine that in the time since then, Dr. Lee has only become more skilled. He is also very honest in our discussions about my needs; yet doesn't try to pressure me into making a decision. He listens to what I say and understands my concerns.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lee performed surgery on our son 7 years ago. We were amazed with his knowledge and skill. At that time, I decided that if ever surgery for my back issues was discussed; Dr. Lee is the surgeon I would want to do it. He is understanding, takes the time to discuss all the concerns and answer questions.
