Dr. Lee was fine, its the site that was the problem. I was disappointed that Mt.Sinai did not have the facilities on site needed for my procedure and as I result I have to travel into the main campus for my treatment. Basically the visit was a waste time. Please let Mt. Sinai know that their rivals in Westchester had such facilities in Westchester.
