Patient Care Compliments
- "I am pleased to have Dr. Lee as my gynecologist and surgeon.
-
I’ve never had surgery until my recent myomectomy and, the thought of surgery made me extremely anxious and terrified. As such, I had a long list of questions. Dr. Lee who was always kind and always made time for me. His fresh perspective and knowledge made me feel secure in the necessary next step that was surgery.
-
All in all, I had an exceptional experience and Dr. Lee and his team were able to successfully remove over 20 fibroids! I can happily say that I am fibroid-free and easing back into normalcy. And as of this July, I experienced my very first normal menstrual cycle!
- I am very grateful to have Dr. Lee as my provider."
- I received the best Care from Dr. Lee, he listened carefully to my needs, right from when he assumed my care, and took action to address them and making sure I get the best care. He explained my surgical procedure very well so I could understand it, gave me the opportunity to state what procedure I was getting right before surgery so we were both at the same page and to make sure I understood it. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and makes sure that as a patient, I get the right care to meet care goals. He always engages me in care by giving me different options to choose from. Thank you Dr. Lee and your team including the surgical team and office team for making sure am well taken care of.
