Dr. Lee’s Reviews

October 25, 2024

Again, my condition was new to me so I was a bit overwhelmed. Under the circumstances I felt like I was being treated with expertise and confidence.

September 3, 2024

Provider tended to talk very fast and used technical terms. Upon asking about the technical terms, he clarified things.

February 28, 2024

This was an initial consult.

November 5, 2023

Dr addressed immediate issue but demonstrated no interest in overall well being. I have no doubt he knows his speciality but my heart issue is only one part of my overall health.
