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 is the best ENT I have ever had since I was a little boy. Now I am a grown man. He has always been special to me. He is kind and understanding. Plus, I enjoy talking to him about fishing and hunting.

Dr. Lee is a very good Doctor. He will answer all your questions. He is very knowledgeable in all areas and has great patience . His receptionist is short and kind of hateful. No patience what so ever. He is so good I deal with her so I have the best care. If he wasnt so good I would have changed doctors long ago because of the way she has talked to me . The other lady is pretty nice. She is the one that does hearing test. So ignore the receptionist rudeness and get the best care possible. Dr. Lee is great.

Dr. Lee is a nice man but my appointment with him was incredibly rushed. Usually Dr.'s should allow for (and bill for)at least 30 minutes for a New Patient. He was with me less than 10 minutes. His front office person is extremely overworked and thus...hates her job. She had the nerve to tell me that she threw away my medical records that I had sent over from my primary doctor because it mentioned thyroid...she failed to see it also mentioned chronic sinus infections. Worst front office ever

I wouldn't even recommend Dr. Lee to the dictator of North Korea! He ruined the functionality of my nose trying to perform plastic surgery without a license to do so. Georgia law doesn't require you to be a plastic surgeon to perform plastic surgery. Beware of this doctor. He took my money and refused to return or answer my phone calls. My nose bleed for days and his nurse told me to go to the ER! The doctor who has to perform my revision said I should sue for malpractice!
