  • Dr Lee is an absolutely incredible doctor and I am so lucky to have him. He has helped me in more ways than I can even say. He greets me immediately when it's time for my appointment, spends as much time as is needed with me, never rushes and then personally walks me out. Makes me truly feel like my health matters.

  • Dr. Lee was very good in explaining everything that needed explaining. I knew what meds I'd be taking and what they did and how they helped. He made sure I was put on a medication I desperately needed. He said if my primary didn't do it he would and that made me feel like he cares about my mental health and my over all well being. I am very grateful that he is my neurologist and I would choose him every time. Thank you so much for taking the time to be an amazing doctor. I appreciate you very much.
