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.

Dr. Lee is always kind, very knowledgeable and an excellent listener.

Review
Dr Lee was remarkable! She is the best GI doc I've had. The entire staff, from the check in to nurses, and anesthesiologist were all great. They were kind and caring and made the whole procedure seem like a walk in the park! I'm grateful for you all, thank you!

Upper GI procedure
The procedure was explained well and went smoothly. Dr. Lee is very good at what she does and very personable. The one, non-medical, detractor was the very rude female checking in patients in the front. Otherwise, everyone was very professional and made the procedure as comfortable as possible.

The best should sum it up!
Dr. Lee was great! She answered all the questions that I had being it was my first time having this type of procedure. Everything was great down to the staff my nurse anesthetist I do not remember her name and I do apologize for that but she was great as well, I would highly recommend this office to anybody that needs to have a colonoscopy done. It was my first time meeting anybody in this office down to the front staff and I would go back to Dr. Lee and her staff. Thank you for answering all my questions. Thank you for treating me so well and not only just being a doctor, but being a human.

Excellent Doctor!
I came into the office for my first colonoscopy. I was greeted by very friendly, respectful and competent staff. Upon meeting Dr Lee for the first time, I was immediately put at ease. She was very cheerful and personable. She took time to explain the procedure, etc. I felt 100% trust in her abilities and was happy to be under her care, as well as that of Dr Moore. I would absolutely recommend!
