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.

A pain doctor that doesn’t treat pain?
I was very disappointed to hear of Dr. Lee’s treatment of my elderly mother. She suffered from a terrible hit and run that left her in the hospital for over a month and is still doing therapy. She’s lucky to be alive, but sadly still dealing with pain and multiple fractures. Her PCP told her that it will be a long time before she’s pain free (if ever) and referred us to this doctor. He didn’t want to do anything for my mom. It was a complete waste of time—I’m writing this to let you know not to waste yours!

AWESOME
I am shocked at the bad review. I found DR Lee's office, staff, wait time all very courteous and prompt. I could not imagine any of them I have seen, Stephanie, Sam, and mostly DR Lee, being unprofessional or sarcastic to anyone. I am thrilled to have been referred to him and have had nothing but pleasant experiences

I was referred to Dr. Lee for injections by my orthapedic doctor that I had been seeing for about 6 months. This was the worst visit that I have ever had with a provider in my life. He truly deserves zero stars. I've contacted this office multiple times to have my visit notes amended due to Dr. Lee's written falsifications about what took place at my visit. If someone "storms out of an office" I'm positive that doesn't include a provider holding the room door open for them and sarcastically making comments. To which I didn’t respond and I continued to exit the office to the front desk. I verbally stated that I was fine and refused treatment. However, he ironically left out his unprofessional actions in the notes. Due to a miscommunication from my referring provider, I was under the impression that I was seeing Dr. Lee for a certain type of injection. Dr. Lee barely completed a diagonistic exam on me and didn't review my notes (which took about him about 2 mins??) until I was in the

See him every 3 months for a few years now . Usually have to wait in lobby a while before called in...then again wait in the exam room. He could be more PROMPT. He is not that familiar with my pain issues for someone who sees me every 3 months. Often he is running behind and I feel his time with me is rushed.

We came today to see Dr. Brooks. After traveling 50 miles for our appointment we were told that Dr. Brooks had an emergency and could not see us. Of course we were upset. However, Dr. Lee saw us, defused the situation and provided us with excellent care. We really appreciate him and the rest of the staff for the care they took in helping us. The visit was very worthwhile and if needed, we will definitely use the services again. Look forward to meeting Dr. Brooks in the future. Thank you all

Doctor Lee was very helpful and provided experienced treatment decisions to accommodate my personal case. With a blend of conservative and innovative procedures, I got back to enjoying my favorite triathlon activities. I highly recommend him and his staff that helped me get better, showing experience, kindness and efficiency.

I was a patient of Dr Lee's for many years. I moved and was not able to continue seeing him. BIG MISTAKE! There is no better doctor than Dr Lee. I have major problems and extreme cronic pain. Dr Lee listened, understood and cared about my pain. I have paid dearly for not remaining with Dr Lee. Don't make that mistake. You'll find no better! Thank you Dr Lee!

When I called to schedule an appt I asked for a pain dr per my pcp's request, They said he was the only one in the practice that. First strike, I waited 2 hours to even go back. I seen so many people leave and had to ask the receptionist several times my status. I finally went back, had a X-ray .When he finally entered he ask me the problem. I explained, he then said your in the wrong place. U need a pain Dr. so what are you. Didn't even go over my X-ray. But I bet I was charged. Waste of time/$
