Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been going to Dr Lee for years. He is always prepared with a thorough review of my chart prior to my physical, including visits to other doctors. He listens and is extremely knowledgeable about prescription meds and some rather odd ailments that i have experienced over the years. Even though I no longer live in the suburbs, I take about an hour long car ride to his office to enjoy the benefit of his always valuable advice.

Rude & condescending
This doctor is rude, condescending, and will interrupt you multiple times. He comes to a conclusion before you are done speaking. I switched doctors and my life has improved tremendously since I stopped seeing this guy. Dr.Lee, if you’re reading this, show your patients some respect and they’ll stop leaving you bad reviews.

Dr. Lee was on call for my doctor of over 5 years, Prashant Pandya, and called me back when I needed antibiotics for an acute sinus infection. He was rude, abrupt and dismissive and said that since I hadn’t seen Dr. Pandya in the last year, he refused to help, since I wasn’t an “active” patient, and suggested I go to urgent care. I managed to find another doctor using telemed who never met me before, didn’t have my chart, but was patient and caring and helpful.

Do not visit Dr.Daniel Lee for any type of mental health treatments. My experience was rushed (5 minute visit where he interrupted me multiple times and threw the towel in saying he couldn't help me). This doctor is impatient, dismissive, uncompassionate, and obviously doesn't care about his patients (he doesn't even let them finish explaining why they are seeking help). Don't waste your time.

I have been a Patient of Dr. Lee for over 18 years, even though I no longer work local to his office it would break my heart to not have him as my primary physician, he is caring beyond the norm and so very knowledgeable , highly recommend

Dr. Lee listens. He is a fantastic doctor. Has been able to get my high bp down to normal. Took meds for 50+ years but now no prescription meds.

Did not listen to my wife about her condition all he had to say was he could not help and gave her no recommendation to any help he needs to think before he speaks

I cannot think of a less compassionate Doctor. It must be all about the insurance, because the days of caring about a patient is long gone. I saw his partner Dr. Speidell for over 20 years and he was the exact opposite. Don't get sick on a Friday, because he makes sure he has his own time. Back pain, no worries, apparently it just magically cures itself. The office will tell you they don't receive the faxes, the doctor doesn't call back. So terribly disappointed.Will never recommend

Twice we've been to the ER and have had to wait for Dr Lee to call in to approve a hospital stay. First time, no response whatsoever from him, after waiting nine hours. Second time, it took him three hours to return the hospital's calls. Apparently the doctor is too busy for his patients.
