Dr. Lee is the best of the best. Compassionate, caring, and actually listens to patients. Wish all Doctors were like this.

Dr Lee is good and he takes time in checking patients with care . Staffs are very rude ,even if you are few min late ,reception staff will show you , you have done the biggest mistake.Requesting Dr Lee to provide some hospitality classes for staffs, its making his perception also bad.

Dr. Kim is an excellent, all around person. He really cares about what he does and he listens to you from beginning to end. He has suggestions and talks to you about what he feels is the best for you. Love coming to see him.

I have an extreme case of hashimotos. I have 7 specialists at scripps and he is by far my favorite. A nice family guy, genuinly cares about patients, willing to do whatever tetst and meds to make you feel better, listens, funny, and like a friend. He let me try things and explore things to make me feel better when other doctors wanted status quo treatment. His staff is AA+
