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.

Good Care Means So Much
I've been treated by Dr. Lee several times, and, each time, I feel uplifted because the pain is gone. Recently, I couldn't take a step without pain - both feet - I'm older and 'this and that' hurt my feet. Dr. Lee was thorough, took time to be sure all the issues were treated completely, and, honestly, I can hardly believe what a difference it makes to walk without pain. It's uplifted my whole mood, and I'm so grateful that there are podiatrists like Dr. Lee.

The Absolute Best
I did extensive research on foot surgeons, and met several. There were other doctors who touted themselves heavily online and some were using new kinds of materials and techniques. But I found Dr. Lee to be the perfect combination of skill, experience and compassion. Even before I was formally his patient he was extremely responsive, and answered every question I had thoroughly and with patience. It was a complicated bunion and hammer toe surgery. Many years of ballet and aging had caused major forefoot deformities. But Dr. Lee did a brilliant job. He corrected every problem with skill and artistry. He has my highest recommendation.I am 8 weeks out, and walking and rowing and stationary biking and doing physical therapy. Soon i will start jogging again! I deeply appreciate Dr. Lee and I’m so grateful I made the right decision and chose him.

Great doctor!!
Dr. Lee was absolutely wonderful. I had a ganglion cyst that he watched closely for 4 years before it was time for surgery. The surgical process was seamless and so was the recovery. He let me know exactly what to expect so there were no surprises. His staff at the office and at the surgical center were very competent and professional.

50 Minutes delayed. Receptionist just let me sit. No updates on a massive delay that through off my whole day. Dr. Lee never closely examined my feet (bunions, lots of pain). Never even touched them. Just said surgery wasn’t an option. But what really makes for the low rating is that Dr. Lee didn’t bother to try and come up with solutions to the pain. My issue is not uncommon - a bunion bulging off of big toe. It bangs into boots and hurts to the point of needing to sit down. I was so bummed out after - and a friend said search on Amazon. Abs I did abs I found a TOE SEPARATOR- abs Wow Wow Wow!!! It made a huge difference. HUGE! Why did no Dr - including Dr Lee discuss this solution? I have since found (on Amazon) ways to separate smaller toes too to alleviate pain. And it works. Dr. Lee charges me $604.00 for 25 minutes after making me wait for 50 minutes and didn’t offer any meaningful solutions. I’d look elsewhere.

Dr. Lee is one of the most experienced doctors I have ever received care from. He clearly knows what he's doing and gained my trust very easily. He truly does not disappoint and addressed all of my concerns with the utmost care. I am very happy to have been his patient.

To further explain why my care was below the standard of care. My hammertoe hadn’t healed and he dismissed me from his care telling me it had. When I asked about any screw or pin in my toe he said it had disintegrated. I found out later from another physician that he hadn’t put in anything to help set my bone. From an MRI oredered by another doctor I found the reason for my pain was synovitis as a result of my non-union. Very uncaring which is the reason for my negative review.

I had an accident that completely severed my tendon that caused me to seek treatment. Dr Lee was recommended by my general physician, and I could not be happier, with Dr Lee and my results. From the beginning Dr Lee was informative, helpful, and always responsive to my inquiries. He explained my options and the procedure, pointing out my recover would take up to 12 months. I am now on month 6, and very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr Lee, without hesitation.
