Dr. Lee and his staff are incredible! Dr Lee is thorough, knowledgeable, open minded, compassionate, patient, and spends time reviewing labs and any questions you may have. He takes my hoshimotos seriously, has prescribed me levothyroxine to decrease my TSH despite not having overt hypothyroid function. This has helped decrease my thyroid inflammation and TSH to 3.5. Dr. Lee also was thoughtful in recommending concussion-related labs for my next visit compared to most physicians not understanding the complex nature of traumatic brain injury and post-concussion syndrome. I wholeheartedly recommend giving his practice a visit
