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 done my back surgery last year and I’m very happy he did. At the time it was not fun to go through, but a little over 1 year later I’m well, and doing great. Thanks Dr. Lee

Staff1 Punctuality1 Helpfulness1 Knowledge4 Suughoon Lee might be a very capable surgeon but as a person he is nothing to write home about, neither is his Staff. After making me jump through hoops I have still not heard one word from him or his incapable Staff. Save your time, Frustration and Money and go to ANOTHER Doctor. You'll be very thankful that you did. God bless & Good Luck

Out of 5 star I rate Dr. Lee at a 10 star. After years of pain he gave me a life of NO pain! Dr. Lee is an artisan in the world of neursurgery. I would recomend him to any one looking for a neursurgion!

After being in debilitating pain for over 10 years and dependent on narcotic medication just to get out of bed and get through the day. I am happy to say that Dr. Lee gave me my life back. After having a multilevel fusion surgery I am pain free for the first time in years!!! I can't even describe how it feels to be able to get up in the morning and not be in pain!! Thank you so much Dr. Lee!!

After waiting in the room for an hour and a half, Dr Lee shown up. I spent 10 minutes with him only to hear him say, There's nothing I can do for you. Needless to say, I was physically and emotionally drained fighting back tears as I walked out. I have encountered a lack of compassion and care several times within this office, making me feel as though I am wasting their time when I am there.
