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.

EXCELLENT CARING DOCTOR!
I was so nervous when they brought me back for my colonoscopy. I didn’t know what to expect but Dr Lee put me at ease and assured be he’d take care of me, and I’d be alright under his care. He is a great doctor, very thorough and caring of his patients.

I had an colonoscopy for the first time. Never met Dr.Lee until that day. Received results afterward not what I was expecting but he explained ever to my wife and referred us to a surgeon. Very pleased with Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee Makes Colonoscopies Almost Fin
I have been seeing Dr. Lee for years at the recommended intervals and never dread going for the colon checkup to guard my health. He is very experienced and professional but always takes time for a cheery conversation to put patients at ease upon arrival. More important, he thoroughly explains the results of the colonoscopy and what any additional action might be needed. Tips for good eating habits, exercise and other things the patient can do to enhance future health are discussed. The procedure itself is painless and over quickly. I would recommend him highly!

Seeing Dr.Macau Lee in 2014 when I had made up my mind to once again try to rid the Hep. C I had in my body for a very long time. I had been on the earlier older treatment many years ago. He and Danielle took care of me and allowed me to once again Trust a doctor that would not judge me for having it in the first place and reacting to me as if I should be degraded. There is much stigma placed on this virus and Neither Dr Lee or his assistant, Danielle treated me indifferently. I got healed of my Hep C, felt well while on the HarvonI and have felt better since. I followed both the doctor and his assistant from Baptist to GI Associates where I receive periodic upper and lower GI testing. I trust Dr Lee's diagnoses and he explains all to me before and after any procedure. If I have questions and feel the need to talk with him, he himself calls me back. I always feel better about my care when I can SEE the doctor truly wants his patients to feel better. He is also a pharmacologist.
