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.

Good experience
Have been a patient at her practice for 25 years with a different surgeon who has retired. Saw Dr. Lee for a procedure and was impressed and confident in outcome. She answered my questions, gave me options and realistic expectations. I do not need my doctors to be my friend, just good instincts and practice. Her bedside manner was perfect for me.

I was seen for a colonoscopy procedure after struggling with bleeding GI symptoms for months. Im grateful that my procedure was without complication; however, bedside, the experience with her was both invalidating and entirely dissatisfying - with her purse in hand, inching as quickly to the door as possible with each word, post-operatively. She provided no insight, answers, recommendations, follow up, care plan or really anything other than dismissiveness from my specialist physician. This was incredibly disappointing to experience as a patient … and as a future physician myself, my biggest take away from this experience has been how not to perform bedside mannerisms and communication with my patients and their loved ones. I thought a sub-specialist would provide education, recommendation, follow up care, or some sort of insightful help (nutrition modification, supplementation, OTC product recommendation, etc) however, I’ll stick to my primary care provider long before I return to Dr. Lee again. I’m thankful for her training; I just wish I could say the same about her patient care. This comes from me and my significant.

Terrible experience with Dr. Lee. Very uncomfortable bedside manner. Couldn’t see anything so suggested I get an MRI. Zero help with the excruciating pain I continue to experience. Very disappointed. I went to two clinics before going to a “specialist”. Not sure what she specializes in… I’m going to continue to daily submit my review until it’s posted. Absolutely no legitimate reason it should not already be.
