Dr. Lee performed surgery on my husband last month to clear an aneurysm on each leg. He was very highly recommended by my husband's internist, and he certainly did not disappoint. We found him to be a warm, caring, and professional physician, who took the time to discuss the surgery both before and afterward. Most important, my husband came through the surgery with flying colors. His staff has been courteous and pleasant, as well. We are very grateful for the good care that my husband received.

Dr. Lee is arrogance personified, nasty, rude, and not carrying. He has no time for people. He should not be a doctor with attitude. I would not use him if he was the last doctor on earth. He has forgotten the Doctors oath that he took.

Went to see Dr. Lee, and he said that the MRA showed that I had over a 90% blockage to my carotid artery in my neck and he said I needed surgery in the next week or two.
Never heard back from his office and I called to see when they were scheduling surgery, left a message and they never called me back. At this point a month had gone by.
In the meantime, I was referred to another doctor and had surgery this week.
Would never go to see Dr. Lee or refer him or his practice to anyone.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR. After a long wait to see him, he practically laughed me out of his office. His arrogance is nasty, and his God-like personality is repulsive. He told me I had no circulation issues at all, without even doing a clinical examination. That was in early May. I was just released from the hospital with DVTs in the leg I was complaining about, which sadly, caused PEs. So, as I started with this review, you'd be better off seeing Fred Flintstone than this quack.

Dr. Lee performed surgery on me in August 2018 to clear my right carotid artery. I chose him based on the fact that two of my other specialist physicians told me that they would trust his surgical expertise to operate on themselves or their family members. They didn't need to day more. While Dr. Lee is all business, that made no difference to me when contemplating having the artery opened up that leads to my brain. Everything that Dr. Lee promised, happened. He did an excellent job. Kathryn B.

He almost killed my mom. The nurses at dialysis center told her the port is infected & to go back to Dr Lee. Mom went to see him & wouldn't even look at the port, he told her he does not need to see it, he knows he did a good job & the nurses were wrong to question his work. Then he just left the room with mom sitting there. That was end of Dec- Mom was rushed to the hospital new years eve with a septic infection that took over a week to cIear. I would not let this ... near anything living

After waiting for 2 hrs, he came in to room so abrupt and rude. Very unprofessional and arrogant! I have never been talked to in the obnoxious tone he exhibited. He acted like he was doing me a favor. Worst dr. Ever!’
He should work behind the scenes, not with patients! Monster!!!!

I was examined by a female assistant. When Dr. Lee came in, he said, "My assistant told me your story. I will not see you again. You're too young to be here. If it's an opinion....." He was extremely dismissive and curt. Treated me as of a no account. He was in the room 2 minutes. Well, Dr. Lee, I will never see you again. Your attitude and haughtiness Is the reason why. One Star is to much.

Dr. Lee perfomed surgery on my 87 year old father 1 month ago and I would highly recommend him. Despite some of his negative reviews, we are thankful this was not a deterrent for us. Not only is Dr. Lee the BEST in the country as a Vascular Surgeon, his credentials are stellar! My Dad, who is has always been a great judge of character, knew within 5 minutes that Dr. Lee was the only one to do his surgery. He is a highly skilled surgeon and knows what he is doing. Excellent choice! My Dad is Gr8!

Dr. Lee's nurse, Sandy was extremely rude and unprofessional in dealing with my son's medical condition. I deal with many doctor's and their staff frequently while managing my elderly parents. I have never experienced the level of rudeness that was afforded to me by his staff. My son previously warned me that his staff was rude, but I had no idea how bad the situation is in that office. Even the imaging center where Dr. Lee sent my son reported to me how rude Sandy was to them. Awful!!

Dr. Lee saved my father's life. My Dad recently suffered an aortic aneurysm and was near death when Dr. Lee agreed to perform a trial surgery that was my father's only chance of survival. Thanks to Dr. Lee my father is still here with us. He is a true professional and an amazing surgeon. We will be forever grateful for what he has done for my father and our family. Thank you Dr. Lee.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone I liked. He scared me about my condition. He has no bed-sided manner. He charged my insurance company an enormous FEE and diagnosed me with something that I don't even have.

Dr. Lee performs incredible surgeries that are sometimes hard to believe. My experience was with a thoracic aneurysm repair during a clinical trial and I was absolutely amazed at the very quick recovery compared to an open chest repair. Thank you from the bottome of my heart Dr. Lee.
