He does not overbook appointments like other offices. As soon as I arrive, I'm the only one in the waiting room and the wait is only 5 minutes. He respects our time. Once Dr. Lee enters the room, he is friendly, thorough, and he provides me with a detailed explanation as well as treatment options. He is honest and does not push for unnecessary treatments. Matter of fact, he even discouraged me from getting cortisone shots. My previous doctor didn't explain why having so many wasn't good but Dr. Lee did. Overall, I would recommend Dr. Lee to family members. B.
