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.

Best spinal surgeon in all of Las Vegas Valley
Dr. Lee is the best spinal surgeon in all of Las Vegas Valley. He did my husband's very tricky back surgery and now he's getting ready to do my back and put a plate and screws, brackets in mine. I would not trust any other surgeon to cut me or my husband open. Do you're research as I did back in 2018 he's the best.

This man shouldn’t be allowed near people.
This man is rude, a know-it-all, thinks he is God. He treated me with so much disrespect, did not review my chart, did not know my history, and pretty much told me to go home. He doesn’t let people talk, and if you attempt to finish a full sentence, he will get louder and louder. I feel so sorry for people that actually need him. He should work with computers, not people. And it’s such a shame because he is probably a good surgeon….why go to school? Oh, money probably…He disrespects the medical profession. And he gives the practice a bad name. Never going back to them.

Appointment & review of service
I arrived at the appointment and waited for my name to be called with another patient. This was my first appointment with Doctor Lee. I was there for a review of an MRI. So, I waited maybe 40 minutes in the examining room. To my surprise a PA trainee and student entered the room and introduced himself. He reviewed my information and did an exam. Okay, I ask to speak to Doctor and was told he was only going tell me the same thing. Once Doctor Lee entered the room I proceeded with a question about the MRI, at that point he had to look at the MRI before answering. Therefore it was apparent that he did not review the MRI. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a medical doctor. At this point I could of just stayed home and not waste my time driving 1hr to have the doctor act like I was wasting his time. In the future I suggest that if a person schedule an appointment at this facility, they should be told if the doctor is not available.

Worst Dr I have ever met!
I went in for a second opinion on June 24, 2024 and not only was he looking at an MRI from 2017 he then told me quote I wouldn’t want to operate on you unless you’re suicidal so if you’re not that then you should just deal with the pain. I was so taken back by this statement and I just could not understand why he would say something like that, honestly a simple sorry I can’t help you would work! And he like in a rush to get out of the room, he would stand up as I would ask a question and I ended up just not asking anything and let him leave! Definitely would wouldn’t recommend him!

DR Daniel Lee
This man has saved my life, literally. I was injured with extreme spinal damage from the base of my skull to my T2 & my lumbar. I went to Dr Lee, n his one of a kind team. I was treated with respect, helped me in the process of getting started, and are professional n so. Dr Lee took time to explain everything, with options. I am going to say had it not been for this man & his team, I would have not had a life and worse, my family would have been shattered. Dr. Lee performed a surgery so complex it lasted approx. 8 hours. Upon waking up I immediately realized my original pain was gone, 100%. During recovery his team spoke with me multiple times and provided so much info. and human kindness it was so exceptional. Dr Lee stayed in touch with me and showed so much concern it was a feeling of safety and gave me so much optimism to having a full recovery. I gave thanked this man many times and his team but I will never really be able to show or say my gratitude enough. They saved my life….

Very Rushed and Did Not Answer Questions
Dr. Lee spent a total of 2 minutes with me. He quickly looked at my MRI results, told me surgery was a last resort. I did not have an opportunity to ask any questions and when I tried, he gave me a yes/no answer as he was walking out the door.

Great first visit
It was great, don't need surgery, said to stay with my pain doctor and keep up with the procedures he recommends and agrees with my primary and pain doctors that I'm too high risk for any surgery.

Going with a calm head.
Doctor Lee will not operate if he feels you are not a good candidate. I have been with him for a number of years but now face surgery. I have total faith in him. He hides nothing. Follow his instruction and you'll be okay.

Worse care I have received from a provider
I felt like Dr. Lee talked AT me versus talked to me. The appointment felt very rushed. He didn’t do any type of manual exams just basically stated there isn’t anything he can do for me and Jesus needs to heal me. Which I thought this was very unprofessional of a provider. His bed side manner lacked professionalism and care. I will not go back for any follow up care.
