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.

Rushed visit. Not interested in my concerns. Totally dismissive.

I trust Dr. Lee with my health and allowed her to perform my breast surgery. I am under her care and continue to follow up. She explained everything to me about my results and what the options were. I was pleased with the outcome and will recommend her to my friends and family.

Dr. Lee saw me on short notice to evaluate a visible, palpable breast lump. She was kind, efficient and very reasonable. Seeing her put me immediately at ease!

I had a great visit with Dr. Lee. She's so knowledgeable and approachable. I've seen a lot of doctors over the years, but never had anyone spend so much time making sure that I understood the treatment options and what to expect going forward.

I came for the second opinion since I am not sure I understands well from my first physician. Dr. Lee is a very conscientious, thorough, kind and very caring physician. She takes her time not only examining thoroughly, but also discussing all options that is available for my case. She explained in the language that layman can follow. She makes sure that I understand well, before I leave her office. I am very happy the care that I received from Dr. Lee.

Please do not go to this doctor. She went out to lunch when she clearly saw me waiting for her in the lobby. I ended up waiting for almost an hour. And she clearly lacks in skill and judgement as a doctor. When she removed my cyst, she didn't removed enough so I had to remove more again!

Horrible. If you are looking for a skilled, compassionate surgeon go to someone else! If you are looking for a cold so so doctor who really can care less about you and is more robot than human, then she is the right one for you!!

When she needs to do surgery Dr. Lee is great. Post surgery(immediately after surgery is performed) she doesn't give you the time of day. In a rush to move on to a possible new patient. Great surgeon. NO BEDSIDE MANNERS AT ALL !!!
