I highly recommend Dr. Charles Lee. I had two in grown toe nails and he helped me so much. I was unsure what procedure to get and he did a great job explaining each one and making sure I understood. The office took me right away and I didn’t have to wait at all. It is a nice office and I had a very positive experience. My follow up appointment was also a great experience. I was really nervous to get my toes fixed, but thanks to him it was very easy and he made sure I was not nervous as he explained everything.

I had a great experience with Dr. Lee. I had an ingrown toenail and he made me feel very comfortable before removing it. He did a terrific job and it healed very quickly. I have had many ingrown toe nails before and this was by far the fastest healing process. I was in no pain after.
I visited the doctor for pain and an infection, and I had a great experience. He was clear and very communicative, which made me feel at ease. I was seen right away, which I really appreciated since the clinic is conveniently located close to my office. I would definitely come back if needed.
