Dr. Lee is knowledgeable, personable and professional. He took the time to discuss my issues and explain the situation.
May-2024
Dr.Lee I feel is straight up with you. He listens to you, which is a quality that most folks look for in a doctor. I’m 50 and I’ve been hard on my body, either from being a bicycle messenger for 15 years, to skateboarding, snowboarding and just plain old being reckless. When we last spoke I explained that I wanted to do whatever it took not to go under the knife again. I’m getting a costume knee brace, his words let’s put off the inevitable for as long as we can. Inevitable is a replacement

Not enough information available yet to determine care quality, but I am hopeful for a positive outcome.

Dr. Lee and his staff are fantastic! He replaced my right hip December 2022. He and his team were very caring, knowledgeable, pleasant, communicative, and I really felt heard. They practiced remarkable infection prevention, and the surgery was fantastically successful. Now, my left hip is going out, and my pre-op visit was just like the first process. I feel very confident that I'll get the best care possible! Thank you Dr. Lee.

There are not enough words to express how amazing Dr. Lee is. We come from Whidbey Island and the trip is more than worth the extra time. Such compassion and concern before, during and the seemingly long recovery after my knee replacement is beyond normal. Many texts from Alex his PA along the way helped me get through a tough time…..even when I was a bit grouchy. thank you so much for making me feel safe and normal during recovery. I appreciate your honesty Dr. Lee before this decision to surgery that this would be a marathon not a sprint..Katherine
