Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Petty psychiatrist. Doesn’t care about you.
Telehealth
Dr Lee is under the impression he is superior over his patients. He is more concerned with profit over helping the individual. Very petty and will cancel an antidepressant with 5 refills without letting the patient know, just to be petty. He avoids diagnosing conditions and will refer you out to obtain a diagnosis. Shame on Queens hospital for hiring such a lazy self centered doctor.

Dr. Lee is very compassionate, smart, respectful and professional. He is very personable, taking a personal interest in my concussion situation. Listens to concerns, answers questions and is not rushed. Awesome Dr. cares about his patients. My quality of care is phenomenal and definitely recommend Dr. Lee as I am a satisfied patient and gets a 10/10 from me. He has a very caring, helpful staff also.

Didn't listen, at all.
Telehealth
He didn't let me complete my first sentence and assumed he knew what I was going to say and got it completely wrong. He wouldn't listen to me and this shut me down for the rest of the session.

He ordered me to be euthanized after I experienced severe trauma and he diagnosed me bipolar. So few good doctors.

Continued to perpetuate a seriously detrimental diagnosis made by a colleague. Am white college educated and gave mental health issues. Due to 80' recession lost home, business and more. When admitted, ac20 min diagnosis was made of bipolar and unsubstantiated opioid abuse. He perpetuated that diagnosis and also expressed untrue facts. This biased treatment if the poor has to stop.
