May 12, 2026 - "We really like Dr. Lee, I think that she is very sympathetic and also very good at engaging in talking with the patient or the patient's family and I think that she does a really good job of explaining things and also showing Care) and concern when she can see the patient's family is upset or not understanding something. Even though she doesn't have all the answers to what is happening with my daughter, she definitely made me feel like she cared and wanted to figure out the answers and didn't just dismiss it as my daughter having [...]. Overshadowing accomplishes nothing in the medical field and Dr. Lee is very careful to not do that. She is a wonderful provider who we enjoy working with and definitely are thankful for"

October 18, 2025 - "Dr. Lee has been an incredible blessing to our family!! [...] she has eased our worries, comforted us and made us feel confident that our child is getting the absolute highest quality care possible. Dr. Lee is highly knowledgeable and always shares the most up to date research and information with us at every appointment. She has answered all of our questions, both big and small, and has given us the peace of mind that we had lost with our last specialist. We cannot say enough great things about her as both a doctor and as a human being! Our son was very anxious coming in to the most recent appointment [...] for the first almost 10 minutes of the appointment she made sure to interact with both our son (the patient) and our daughter, making sure that they were comfortable and felt completely safe. As parents, that means the absolute world to us and we are so very grateful for her care! How lucky we are! Every doctor who learns from her is immensely privileged to learn from a top notch provider!! Thank you Dr. Lee!"
