“I have been going to Dr. Lee for the past couple years and she’s navigated me so well to the point where I feel I know how to address my digestive issues on my own and I didn’t have any significant flareups in over a year. She is also very willing to order tests and exams that you think you may need and as a female patient that’s not always the case and really appreciated. She’s never rushed me and I usually come with a million questions. I think some reviews here confuse her speaking fast with rushing.”

“Dr Lee was great. I’ve had so many stomach issues for so long and have tried to see GIs who didn’t really take the time to walk thru my symptoms and ask questions. For the first time I feel good about a plan to address my issues. ”
