Excellent, professional, caring and thorough. He was careful to review my history, my current symptoms and to prescribe treatment guided by the appropriate diagnostics.
Dr. Lee is easy to talk to, and never rushes you. He is also super nice and friendly. Also, very friendly staff. I couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Dr. Lee answered all of my concerns. I am impressed with how the Doctors office asked about my medications with each visit.
I was very impressed with Dr. Lee having found him via ZocDoc and not really having a referral from others. He was thorough in his questions, probed when needed and made health recommendations that are easy to follow and accomplish. The entire on-line registration process was simple and quick. Saved a lot of time not having to complete all those forms at the doctor's office. His office staff and nurse were also all very professional and curteious. I will recommend Dr. Lee to my GP to recommend to others, esp since they are in the same building.

Good listener: paid attention to my past medical history. As this was a first visit and for an exisitng chronic condition, I appreciated that he did not go overboard in diagnostic procedures or in treatment regimens.
Dr Lee was extremely friendly. He listened to what you had to say. He didn't try to rush you. Best doctor I've been to yet. Nice office and staff as well.
He listened to me. I felt like he took what I said seriously and wanted to help figure out the issue. His aid (nurse?) was also very nice. She sat with me and set up my appointments and made sure that I had all of the information that I needed.
Dr. Lee was very friendly at my consultation, and explained everything to me in a very simple to understand manner. I highly recommend him!

They originally canceled my scheduled appointment saying it wasn't available, but called me back two days before the appointment to say that time and date still worked. Dr Lee was very professional and seemed to be very competent. The office was a bit disorganized and they almost forgot to give me the proper paperwork in order to take lab tests. When I got to the lab they told me that the nurse wrote something down that didn't make sense and they couldnt take blood for that test. Overall, Dr Lee seemed like a good doctor, but the office definitely has some organization problems.
Wonderful doctor, very personable, nice attentive staff. Dr. Lee was very helpful and gave me detailed information slowly, made me feel comfortable and allowed me to ask questions and make sure that I had everything I needed to make me feel better.
So far very professional & helpful
