    He was honest about not doing a surgery that he felt uncomfortable doing and trying to get me into Stanford pain management for ultrasound superior cervical ganglion block. He also gave me insight as to what could go wrong to. It was very professional and seem caring.

    He took time, using a section of pelvic and vertebral bones, to explain to me just where the injections would be and what structures the injections would affect.

    I asked that my daughter in Brooklyn, NY, participate in the tele-visit, and Dr. Lee and his secretary made sure to have that happen. I very much appreciated their accommodating us.

    Dr lee is a wonderful and caring doctor. I alway had no reservations at complying with any directions given. This caudal injection proved me wrong. The unnecessary pain I suffered at the hands of the anesthesiologist/nurse was unwarranted.

    Dr Lee is a very attentive listener and explains things perfectly.
    Dec 13, 2022
    Both doctors that saw me were very nice, I've seen a lot of specialist in the past few years & this is the first time I felt like someone listened to me. Not only that but they're helping me finally get a diagnosis & getting medication. Best specialists I've encountered! They were really nice and patient with me & showed that they cared for my health.

    Dr. Lee is one of the top two medical professionals I've seen. His professionalism, knowledge, personable mannerisms, and is up to date on the most current treatments in his field are outstanding. Due to injuries and illnesses I've, unfortunately, experienced the care of many providers and he is to be commended.

    Dr. Lee is one of few physicians that I consider to be an exceptionally excellent provider. I have received treatment from several physicians. I wish they were all like him.
