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 was scheduled for a back surgery but my pre-op revealed problems with my heart that needed to be taken care of first. My Cardiologist recommended Dr. Lee as my surgeon and boy am I thrilled he did. From first meting Dr. Lee and his staff to my final appointment with him I was nothing but confident that we made the right decision. They couldn't have been nicer people and the care they provided was first rate. I would highly recommend Dr. Raymond Lee for any heart surgery.

Dr. Lee was recommended to me by my cardiologist and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Dr. Lee is a great surgeon and has a calming demeanor. He easily put me at ease when he explained the procedure for my triple bypass surgery, which was a success. I highly recommend Dr. Lee for anyone that is in need of a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Dr. Lee repaired my mitral valve February 4, 2019 at Providence St. John's Medical Center. He is a true professional. I will be recommending Dr. Lee to anyone who needs his expertise. He has a very comfortable "bedside manner" as well. I am so glad that I found him.

Dr. Lee is an incredible surgeon. While facing the prospect of major invasive surgery for aortic aneurysm, I was comforted and assured by Dr. Lee's warm compassion and careful explanation of what I should expect. Furthermore, Dr. Lee assured that the anesthesia procedures conformed with my special needs, as I had a history of complications. My recent surgery by Dr. Lee at St. John's was a success and my recovery rapid and with minimal discomfort. Kudos to Dr. Lee.

Dr. Lee came highly recommended by my cardiologist & immediately impressed me with his intelligence, kind & caring manner, & ability to succinctly inform me of all issues & solutions. He was clear, concise, & confident. He proceeded in an orderly fashion, scheduling in quick succession 2 tests to confirm his diagnosis & inform us both of the severity of the problem. I was therefore quite confident of the need for open-heart surgery, & a calm & willing patient. Surgery & recovery went very well!
