Dr. Lee was very nice. He explained what he was doing and what he was seeing in my examination. He explained what we were going to do with treatment and how we would proceed. I was a little nervous but he made me feel comfortable. All the ladies in the office were super nice as well.

I like the atmosphere when I walk in, as there is soft contemporary Christian music playing overhead. Staff are very courteous and professional, I get a sense that they all feel very satisfied in their working environment. Dr. Mahoney listens and discusses options. He reminds me of a the small town doctor of my childhood as he shows interest in my life and circumstances and isn't so distant. I trust his knowledge, skills and judgement.I am glad I made this change in providers.

I really appreciate the care given to me by Dr. Lee. He asked a lot of questions and I felt really cared about my situation. He also gave me some advice on my vertigo and so far it seems to have helped.

Barely had to wait. Reception and staff were all very friendly. Doctor was up front with not knowing what was wrong with Rowan and refereed her to another Doctor.

Dr. Lee evaluated me for a problem I have had for some time. He was thorough and kind and offered to address another issue I brought up at the same appointment. I preferred to wait so they helped me schedule a follow up appointment that was convenient for me. The entire staff including reception and scheduling and the nursing staff were professional and helpful.

Dr. Lee went over sleep test results with me. He explained them in an easy to understand way, and he was able to recommend a course of action. I am happy with the direction we are going.

Dr. Lee is a very concerned and caring doctor. He called us personally at home to follow up on an issue...which would be a seldom occurrence in today's world! We give him a 10 as a doctor.
