Dr. Louis Lee, MD

I got a biopsy near my thyroid that came back as "Suspicious for Malignancy for Papillary Carcinoma". I have a suspicious nodule only the right side of my thyroid. I met endocrinologists and thyroid surgeons (before dr. Lee) who told me that "Suspicious for Malignancy is almost always cancer". In my mind, "almost always" means that 99.999% I have cancer, and I was ready to give up on my thyroid. Then, I met dr. Lee. Dr. Lee was the first dr. that suggested to remove only half of my thyroid, and wait for the final pathology report to see if it's really cancer. After some digging, apparently the chances that "Suspicious for Malignancy" is cancer are about 70% or so. Long story short, dr. Lee saved half of my thyroid and allowed me to live life without thyroid meds. Dr. Lee is an angel!!! The reason that I didn't choose dr. Lee as my surgeon is because I don't want to have the surgery in the horrible Dominican Hospital :( Dominican is not intended for humans. Avoid Dominican at any cost!

I think Dr Lee is great! I needed a hernia repair and asked if he would do it without mesh and he was perfectly agreeable to that, telling me the pros and cons. He is a surgeon who is able to discuss issues with you without any arrogance on his part. I healed quickly w/o needing even a single pain pill.

Very professional, very knowledgeable. Thank you, Dr. Lee
