    How was your appointment with Dr. Lee?

    Jul 10, 2019
    Dr. Lee is the absolute best at what he does. He and his staff were the perfect mix of professional while also having great bedside manner. He explained the process of the surgery I was having very clearly and his confidence and knowledge helped me feel at ease. I am healing just fine from surgery and you can barely see my scar. For someone like myself who had her thyroid completely removed you really wouldn’t be able to tell. If you’re visiting doctor Lee, stop your search there because he is simply the best!
