So patient and focused on addressing my really unusual symptoms. Spent time and listened, asked questions, and ordered a series of tests to identify my issue

Not only is he the best in his field but also willing to pursue matters noncardiological which is nice of him. Said he was happy to see me.
August 31, 2019Dean M.Verified patient
seemed a little more breezy than usual. When he increases meds, he wants to see you more and that can become an issue but overall I think he's more concerned about me than I am, nice.
July 26, 2019Dean M.Verified patient
Dr Benjamin Lee is an outstanding doctor who truly cares about his patients. I had a troublesome SVT problem with a lot of discomfort and he worked with me diligently and in a caring manner to come up with a solution. In addition, while I was suffering from the symptoms, he called me twice a day to find out how things were going and how he could help me to improve the situation. I’m very grateful to him for all his help and highly recommend him to other patients
June 24, 2019Mark R.Verified patient
Thorough to a fault, seemed to back off needless diagnostic tests which was good to see, Natasha the tech really talky but nice. Good.
June 14, 2019Dean M.Verified patient
Certainly of the highest caliber for 33 years but for me, if you have no symptoms and no issues, then let him make that judgment.
June 5, 2019Dean M.Verified patient
The Dr. listened, and asked questioned, and made notes. He was helpful, and helped to co-ordinate my medical heart history with that of my previous cardiolagist from out of State.

I honestly have never been to a specialist who was so thorough. He asked a great deal of questions to try to get to the root of my problem and I was very pleased with how detailed he was. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lee.
August 29, 2018Nicole G.Verified patient
As I said to him, I am not sure why anyone would go anywhere else, excellent bedside manner and so thorough, not sorry I waited 10 days for him to come back from vacation, it was worth it. Thanks.
August 23, 2018Dean M.Verified patient
I think there is a tendency to talk over each other but if I have a question, I persist, when he's confused, he looks annoyed but he never didn't answer. When he says you can go, you feel liberated.
June 29, 2018Carl M.Verified patient
if there are better than he, haven't met them, doesn't panic but also doesn't let things slide and he doesn't allow you to either, which is nice. I do end up debating with him and he is the cardiologist.
March 30, 2018Carl M.Verified patient
thorough to a fault, contraindicators noticed and picked up on, liked how he repeated key facts of my medical history as if to say do I have that right? Mostly, he did. I thought he made me feel better.

I was greeted by a professional and friendly staff as soon as I exited the elevator. I was a first time patient, and they called me back before I could finish my paperwork.
Dr. Lee was professional, on time, and very informative. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking cardiac care.
February 2, 2017Robert E.Verified patient
Dr. Lee was very professional and thorough. I arrived early for my appointment and, as it happens an earlier patient was late, so he saw me immediately. He took very thorough notes and made sure I understood all the information he gave me regarding tests and future visits. The visit did not feel rushed.
More than 1 year agoEric H.Verified patient
I am sure happy that I went in this location. No long wait! My appointment was at 8am but since I was a new patient,I went there 15 minutes early. I never had to fill-up any forms since I did everything ahead thru ZocDoc. So those 15 minutes were used for checking vitals. So at exactly 8 am, Dr.Lee was already doing his part. He was pleasant to talk with. He said I look young and healthy.I was comfortable in sharing with him my symptoms
Staffs are very courteous and friendly. They never made me feel uncomfortable.
More than 1 year agoPriscilla L.Verified patient
From the front desk staff to the nursing staff to Dr. Lee, the entire experience was fantastic. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee.
May 18, 2016Jennifer P.Verified patient

May 13, 2015Charles R.Verified patient
I first booked Dr. Lee through ZocDoc due to upper abdominal pain and chest heaviness. He saw me right away, no questions, asked and when I had several scary breathing issues following our initial meeting that landed me in Urgent Care, he had me come in straight away - pushing up previously scheduled stress and echo tests to ensure my heart was in good health. Understanding of my situation (navigating a number of doctor's for a diagnosis), he offered me options in receiving my results and was timely in delivering these. Accommodating, assuring, and empathetic are all words I would use to describe Dr. Lee. In this increasingly non-human world, he is a doctor that sees a patient as a person first. Highly recommended.
