Was taken back promptly.
Seen by the PA fairly quickly, who was attentive and knowledgeable.
Next seen by Dr. Lee who was friendly and helpful.
He ordered X-rays which were done promptly right down the hall.
Came to talk to me fairly quickly about the x-ray results and offered a bedside procedure right away rather than making me book a separate appointment.
Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Lee and his Resident were smart, responsive, courteous...seemed a bit rushed in explaining the use of the brace...but otherwise trusted their diagnosis and treatment plan options.

Dr. Lee was great.

Dr. Lee. is a consummate professional. I went to him for a minor hand fracture. Unlike another orthopedic surgeon I saw who was quick, informal and basically pushed me towards surgical procedure, Dr. Lee took the time to explain both options and gave me what I felt was a more honest assessment w pros and cons of both options. My hand has fully healed and is perfect condition via non-surgical healing. I highly recommend Dr. Lee.
September 2, 2016Allen A.Verified patient
This was a first time visit to see Dr. Lee...I have trigger thumb... and scared to death of a needles... he took his time with the injection of cortisone and barely felt a pinch... his pre examination assistant was very knowledgeable ,professional and friendly...if you have any hand issues Dr. Lee is your guy.... by the way the treatment is working...

Excellent service. Dr. Lee and his staff were all very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to my questions. The wait times were minimal. Highly recommend!

Over the last 7 years, Dr. Lee patiently diagnosed and corrected injuries involving my right hand, arm, and brachial plexus. He performed 6 surgeries over a period of 6 years, and enabled me to regain most of my right hand function, and return to my career as a professional jazz guitarist. He is an incredible doctor and surgeon, who truly cares about his patients and understands their hopes and the importance of hand function for musicians.
