I found Dr. Keith Lee to be very understanding and non-judgmental given that it had been a while since my last exam. He is extremely smart and explained things in a very patient-friendly manner. He never talked over my head. I'm looking forward to seeing him again soon.

More about Dr. Keith Lee, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. Dr. Lee's strong interest in science led him into a medical career. He is board certified in internal medicine and enjoys his role of educator with his patients. In his free time, Dr. Lee enjoys spending time with his two children. He likes to spend his quiet time reading or expanding his computer skills.

Thank you

From the moment I sat down, I felt like they were trying to check the box that says I was "seen" and get me out the door. There was very little discussion and the whole process felt rushed. While I received some recommendations for next steps, discussing a follow-up felt like I was a burden (as opposed to the Dr. being invested in my continued care/healing).

Profile listed LGBT health as an area of care, but Dr. Lee was not very knowledgeable in this area. I felt a bit uncomfortable with the way he approached my questions around LGBT health and the dated terminology he used. He was also surprised and unaware when I brought up the very common side effects of PreP, yet still prescribed the medication even not seeming to know what the complications might be. Can't recommend his office for those looking for LGBT or trans care, though in a pinch he would probably be willing to write a refill prescription for a medication that you are already taking.
