Patient Reviews
Oct 11, 2024
Working in the medical field I knew that asking around, word of mouth, and following up with his board certification and his years of experience in thoracic surgery is what prompted me consult with Dr. Lee. He was straight forward, gave me the information I needed to make an informed choice to go ahead with surgery. My case was rare and I was so happy that his skill as a surgeon contributed to the outcome of my successful surgery. I am truly grateful to him and his wonderful staff. I would definitely and wholeheartedly recommend this surgeon for all your complex needs.
