“Dr. Lee sat with me and diligently went through my family history, as this was the first time we had met. He and I talked through some nagging issues that have been weighing on my mind and moved the ball forward with x-rays and tests, as needed. Very kind, attentive, diligent, knowledgable and friendly! Will be booking my 6 months soon enough! Glad I found a solid pcp.”

Zero star. This provider was dismissive and unhelpful. I felt rushed, unheard, and unsupported. I would not recommend this office to anyone needing serious medical care.
