EXCELLENT SPECIALIST. AM SO FORTUNATE TO BE IN HIS CARE. PLEASE THANK HIM AND REWARD HIM.
Providence Patient
Dr Lee is always great. He takes the time to explain things in a way I understand and always works with me, including my preference for trying natural options first. He never makes me feel uncomfortable about my choice to try natural options first. Dr's I've had in the past were so negative about it, I was too uncomfortable to even talk to them about it anymore. Dr Lee has always been approachable with any concern or approach I want to ask about.
