Nice office, friendly staff. I had a GREAT dental hygienist work on me.

I've been to Dr. Lee's office twice, for regular check-up and cleaning. The cleaning is done by the hygienist, Rosemary, who is *very* good at her job. She is meticulous and thorough and explains things well. Dr. Lee also seems caring and competent. He doesn't over-diagnose problems, but explains potential problems and areas that we should keep an eye on well. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience at this office, and will be back.

Had a cleaning & check up appointment. The hygienist Rosemary did the cleaning. She was great: meticulous in her work and explaining everything well. Dr. Lee came afterwards for a check up. He seemed knowledgeable and confident, and explained things well. The office has modern equipments and feels nice.

ZocDoc shows that this doctor is in-network for me, I visited the doctor and did x-ray (which should be covered in my insurance) his office asked me to pay for the co-pay and infirmed me after the visit that the doctor is out of Network for me, although I submitted my insurance a day in advance and i was not notified that the doctor is out of network or that I have to pay anything.. disappointing experience
November 24, 2021Moataz G.Verified patient
Dr. Lee and the hygienist, Rosemary, could not have been nicer and more thorough. Check in was easy, I was seen right away, and I felt comfortable the entire time. Definitely recommend!

Very kind, knowledgeable, and he did the cleaning himself. Answered my questions and provided a printout of where I needed some fillings done. Scheduled a follow-up to get those done. Also very clean and the front desk lady was very kind.

Terrific experience and the best dentist I've ever been to. Very clean, thorough cleaning, knowledgeable staff and honest feedback (I had no problems and they didn't try to 'push' extras onto me). Just a genuine experience. A+

My wait is always extremely short. COVID-safe. Friendly, professional staff from the front desk to the hygienist to Dr. Lee himself. Dr. Lee is super chill, knowledgable, and makes you feel comfortable.

January 24, 2021Lisa L.Verified patient
I enjoyed my visit to Dr. Lee's clinic. The whole process was streamlined and efficient. Dr. Lee's assistants were very friendly and helped me through the paperwork and took my X-rays. Dr. Lee explained my X-rays and examined my teeth. He also cleaned my teeth himself, which I appreciated. No pain whatsoever. The office was also very clean and brightly lit, the latter being something I did not realize was important to me until I experienced it. I will return to Dr. Lee for my next cleaning appointment in 6 months.
January 15, 2021John F.Verified patient
Had an excellent experience at the office. They were super clean, had very clear guidelines and policies in place to ensure the safety of their staff and for me. Going to the dentist might be scary right now because the patient has to take the mask off, but they had many layers of protection. Also the Dr had a great bedside manner, was very informative and quite thorough in the cleaning. Would definitely recommend
