My experience with Dr Lee and his staff and resources at Columbia were outstanding. I had an appointment by my request and own referral very quickly, and surgical date as well. The administrative part was easy and helpful. As a RN Dr Lee answered all questions with clarity - was friendly and caring. Susan Rocholl

My wife and I met at least four of Dr Lee’s staff - all were very helpful and courteous. Then we met with Dr Lee. He explained the hyperthyroid procedure to our satisfaction. I feel very confident in him.

Dr. Lee was in no rush to perform surgery on my elderly dad. He gave us a referral to another specialist, and gave us some more tests to have completed in order to make the most informed decision possible. I greatly appreciate his caution. The people in his office are all helpful and just lovely. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the level of care and competence displayed by Dr. Lee and his office staff.
