Dr. Lee is excellent. Always look for ways to help our child. He listens to us attentively and we appreciate him very much. Treat our child with great care and sensitivity, since [my child] is very fragile. He also responds to us via MyChart immediately and also calls us personally if necessary. We are very grateful and pleased with Dr. Lee's work

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!
