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.

Dr. Lee was condescending, impatient, and rude.
Based on my interaction with Dr. Samuel Lee, I won't be returning. He prescribed me a course of antibiotics despite knowing that a previous course of antibiotics didn't work. I'm sure he knows what he's doing, and I never questioned his experience and knowledge. But when I tried to ask him about the risks of about taking antibiotics if I don't actually need it, he shot back at me with his own question: "What, do you think it's cancer?" I was silent for a moment because I was so surprised that he asked me that. But I was more surprised that he asked it in such a condescending and rude tone, as if to say "I'M the doctor, not you." Even if I did think it was cancer, that is not the way to bring it up. When I tried to press him for more clarity on what could be causing my issues, he gave me a lot of ambiguous responses and continued to belittle my concerns. Overall, it seemed like he just wanted to be done with me and move on. A total lack of bedside manner. I would NOT recommend him.

He will not diagnose/treat you beyond the scope of what the majority of his patients come in for. He is not interested in your concerns, and is extremely dismissive. I rarely see doctors, my family comes from a postsecondary/doctoral education background, and I am not stupid like the way he probably thinks his patients are. Whatever he says, I would get a second opinion.
