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.

Knee Replacement
Dr. Lee replaced my knee 6 weeks ago and I am beyond pleased with the results. He is a kind and talented surgeon. His PA Laura was also great and very responsive.

I’m very likely to recommend Fred Lee.
Telehealth
He introduced himself as Fred Lee, listened to what I asked and said, provided thoughtful answers, emphasized that surgery was the patient’s choice, and suggested that we meet in person after the ski season ended to get an updated x-ray or imaging of my left hip and discuss whether I wanted to schedule a total left hip replacement.

Wonderful Health Care Experience
The process of dealing with Dr Lee and his staff is the best I can imagine. Pre-Op, support on the way into the surgery, the procedure itself, and the followup support are all top notch. I always knew what to expect, how to prepare, and how to take care of myself after the replacement. Scheduling, support contact, care in the hospital, and advice for post-op were excellent.

Best Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr Lee performed knee replacement surgery and I was having a followup on that knee plus questioning the need for surgery on my other knee.I got in quickly and the nurse assistant was very thorough and efficient. Dr Lee was unhurried and very responsive to my concerns. He explained my options clearly and made suggestions for relief of swelling. I appreciated his candor, professionalism, experience and knowledge. I will ultimately require a total knee replacement on my other knee in the future and I will definitely have Dr. Lee as my surgeon again.
