Dr. Lee office was amazing. The staff were friendly and the Dr. was amazing. The environment was so inviting. Dr. Lee was very professional. My only regret is not finding him sooner.

Great dentist. Efficient, gentle and explains things thoroughly. The staff were nice too! The equipment wasn’t brand new but it works. A bit of wait time, even if the first appointment of the day is at 9 the staff were not there before 9 (but I was, and had to wait to get in). All in all, a pleasant experience.

More about Dr. Sam Lee, DDS
Dr Lee treats patients under the philosophy that "a visit to the dentist should never be a stressful experience". He believes that nothing is more important to him or his staff than the oral health and personal satisfaction of each patient. Being seriously fearful of the dentist himself, he treats each patient with compassion and dignity.
Dr Lee grew up in Bolivia where his parents still reside as missionaries. He is fluent in English, Spanish and Korean. When he is not practicing dentistry, he enjoys reading, playing soccer, traveling and spending time with his puffer fish Ed.

First dentist I enjoyed!

Dr. Lee was great. Super efficient and communicated all details clearly. His staff was amazing too. The front desk people as well as the technician were really nice. In other places, they tend to just bark orders and that was not my experience here at all. They also have a pretty cool X-ray machine.

Dr Sam Lee is great, and so are his staff! It was such a pleasant experience from start to finish, and he is extremely gentle, and explains every procedure carefully, and also indicate the amount of discomfort or pain that I will be experiencing.
