Dr. Lee truly cares about his patients. My previous hip replacement I had a lot of post surgery nausea. He and his team ensured this time it was minimal. He went the extra distance to call me later in the evening post surgery to check up to make sure it was better this time. He’s a top notch surgeon and I would absolutely refer him to others.

I can’t imagine a better surgeon. He replaced both of my hips in 2025 (April and November) and I would recommend him to anyone.
He has made me functional again, and I came from Tacoma to have him as my doctor.
He’s kind and listens and cares about the entire process.
