Dr Lee was AMAZING. I have suffered with edema in my ankles and feet for several years. Even though I have expressed my concerns with many of my other Methodist specialists none of them have ever taken the time to look at my feet. Finally, I found someone who really cares. Not only was Dr Lee extremely caring, his sense of humor was awesome. My wife and I laugh so much during the visit which made us feel at ease. He was so personable and treated us like family. In the end, he immediately order test to get answers to my problems.
