July 29, 2025

The doctor was personable and friendly and kind. He spoke very quickly, and sometimes I didn’t understand what he said, so I would repeat what I thought he said that I thought might be important to confirm. I was there for a physical, and they checked my vitals and he looked in my ears and listened to my heart, but that’s it. The doctor read my file on the computer and asked some questions. Is that all? I guess I just didn’t feel like he was very thorough. I guess I’ll get my blood work and hopefully that will tell me more.

July 25, 2025

My doctor evaluation was done with great professional, thoughtful, & caring advice. I value the doctors advice because he explains how the medication I’m taking can have both positive effects, but points out concerns that we can look out for. He has tremendously improved my condition with his treatment of my illness.

Very rude doctor Clarance Lee. Did not let me talk or explain anything because he insisted that he get through his questions. Very rude and demeaning. After he completed his questions, he then had the audacity to ask why I did not mention about my pain in my chest (which was the very reason I was there and I had discussed with the nurse!) he never let me talk or elaborate because he assumed it was not important. Unbelievable experience. Very disappointed.

I’m a new patient for Dr. Clarence Lee Jr. and we had our first visit a couple days ago. I’m an old guy with a lot of medical history to go over and Dr Lee took the time to ask about it all. He is very professional, thorough, kind, empathetic and very fun to chat with. Today’s video chat was a follow up conversation about my labs and I had the exact experience of premium care from Dr. Lee
