"Excellent attention thank you"
"My procedure was the first one after the implementation of new software. It was a bit chaotic but the staff at checkin, at the endoscopy office and the nurses in the prep room all were working really hard to get everything moving like it normally did. I was moved into the procedure room and that’s where it all fell apart. The anesthesiologist arrived late to the procedure (she told me so when she first showed up in the prep room) and then couldn’t figure out how to connect the software to the device monitoring my vital signs. After 30 minutes of her claiming to everyone who would listen that “this is not my fault” I asked for the doctor. Although he tried to assure me everything was going to be ok, it’s obvious the anesthesiologist was completely outside her ability to perform the procedure with the new software. I considered canceling the procedure, she was that unnerving with the frantic “it’s not my fault” claims no matter how many people (at least 4) came in the help her. The doctor and support staff in the procedure room were professional and competent as was the staff in recovery, the anesthesiologist was not. You assume liability with people like her in your hospital, consider an alternative."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Lee for almost two decades. Late onset crohn’s had us all baffled. Dr. Lee tried every trick Dr Internet knew and a few more but it took old school exploratory surgery to prove him correct. He’s quite knowledgeable but not one of those annoying know it all’s. I’ve seen him reach out to colleagues so the both of us can feel assured. He’s fun and easy to talk to and will take the time to ensure you understand with out needlessly using big words just to get rid of you. I could easily call Dr Lee a friend and have no problem trusting him with my life. I have also found his office staff and nurses as helpful and attentive. I and my wife have worked in healthcare all our lives. I’ve tried not to but it just seemed to draw me back. My first part time high school job was maintenance at a long term facility, then U.S. Navy Corpsman, combat medic, every department but billing in a hospital and am still a field service engineer for medical imaging equipment for over forty years. I might know what I’m talking about. I almost don’t dread my colonoscopies. Dr Lee is highly recommended."

Much to my satisfaction, I have continued to work with him over the years for standard preventative adult care procedures. Despite sporadic contact, he always recognizes me and knows exactly who I am. He provides sound advice and always follows up on whatever information is necessary for my continued good health. Both he and his office staff have been a pleasure to deal with and I hope for their continued success."

"Dr. Lee explained very clearly and slowly the gallbladder procedure (ERCP) he was going to perform. He then did exactly what he said...and then met with my family in post op to review the gallstone-removal results. He is the REAL DEAL...cool, calm, collected. His emergency surgery skills made the following day's gallbladder removal a huge success."
