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.

My father was hospitalized and was very sick in the hospital going to the ICU. She had her nurses consent for surgery, and her nurses could not explain the surgery and the risks and benefits. When I asked to speak to Dr. Lee to get more information about the surgery, she told me that my father needed the surgery and did not discuss the risks of the surgery until I refused to provide consent unless she discussed the risks and benefits. Discussing the risks and benefits of surgery is important for patients and families to make informed decisions about their health. When my father had surgery, she also told us that she did not recognize the gastric bypass anatomy my father had so she left his abdomen open. This was surprising because gastric bypass is common and I would expect surgeons to recognize the anatomy. I was disappointed by Dr. Lee's dismissiveness and lack of recognition of my father's gastric bypass anatomy during surgery.

Dr. Lee saved my leg; I will always be grateful!
Dr. Lee performed multiple surgeries on my leg, removing the necrotic tissue remaining from previous cosmetic procedures. Other doctors didn’t dare to touch my leg; Dr Lee’s expertise allowed her to take me to surgery and never gave up on me. I can walk now. She explained things clearly to me. She is very assertive and yet respectful to everyone. I trust her insight as a physician. I have seen how she assists patients from all paths of lives, including people self-pay. I highly recommend Dr. Lee as a general practitioner.

I went to Dr. Lee for my robotic hernia surgery. Prior to the surgery she answered all my questions and concerns with synthetic vs bio mesh. She also clearly explained how the surgery would happen and the amount of pain to expect after the surgery. Within 3 days I was off of the prescribed pain meds and by the 10th day I was feeling 90% back to normal. I would definitely recommend her for robotic surgery. And if you have any questions about it go find her YouTube video on it.
