He has a gentle and thorough way of explaining what is going on with your foot. And he is thoughtful and has great advice. Even though he is a surgeon, he offers other medical suggestions to help with foot pain or other foot issues before he recommends surgery. I have been his patient for many years regarding my foot issues that are hereditary. I recently chose to have surgery and it has been three months and I am doing great. The staff is superb and always treats you with great respect and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. David Lee to be your foot specialist! L.
