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 will recommend him to everyone
Dr. Lee is patient, attentive, and respects my time. He listens and responds to all my concerns and he did a great job on my wrist surgery. My favorite doctor.

Hand surgery
Dr. Lee performed a left middle finger distal interphalangeal joint fusion on me. I am a retired surgeon and have some experience with many other surgical specialists. I believe Dr. Lee a an excellent surgeon and his pre and post operative care was superb. The office staff was also first rate.Larry D.

Fixed a 10 year old wrist problem!
Great experience with Dr Lee. He knows what he’s doing and is a highly skilled surgeon. He removed a ganglion cyst in my wrist that’s been causing me trouble for years. He did a great job. No more pain. I have my life back. A beautiful little scar remains. Plastic surgeon quality!

Returning the function of my arm
On Sept 6, 2023, I was hit by a drunk driver, causing my hand severe damage rendering it not usable of daily activities, thanks for Dr. David lee’s expertise, he has restored my hand to its functional purpose with tendon transfer surgery as well as excess bone removal to return the function of my forearm rotation. I am now returning to my daily life activities, there is a noticeable struggle and change to my new arm but it is nothing when you adapt and get use to it. But great many thanks to him, I can easily do my daily life routine with barely any struggle and continue on with life.

Experienced and thoughtful care
I saw Dr Lee for a ganglion cyst that he removed. Dr Lee was patient, provided useful background on cysts and options for treatment while also explaining the procedure. I would recommend Dr Lee to anyone looking for an experienced and kind provider that provides individualized care.

Arm tendon repair
Dr. Lee was fantastic starting with surgical consultation, surgery and followup. Always pauses to make sure all questions are asked and responded. Recommend Dr Lee for all your hand/arm/shoulder repairs. De Lee was very attentive to my sports needs (fencing and waterskiing) and as a bonus left a high quality surgical repair that will be a tiny scar - plastic surgery quality.

Highly recommend Dr Lee
Dr. Lee did an amazing job with my hand surgery. I had almost no pain after the operation and was surprised to get back 80% mobility within 48 hours of the cast coming off. My physical therapist mentioned that she has been really impressed by the recovery of all the patients she saw that worked with Dr. Lee. Within 6 weeks of surgery I was fully cleared for all activities, including heavy lifting. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone looking for a hand specialist in Northern Virginia.
