Dr. John Gunn Lee, MD

At every step, my experience with UCI Health was phenomenally smooth and compassionate. From my first call to make the appointment to post-procedure care and valet service, myself and my family were treated with compassion, efficiency, clarity and kindness. The admin, nurses, parking attendants, receptionists, phlebotomist, and doctors were attentive, efficient, kind, and skilled at every step. The anesthesia team made it quick and painless (thank you!) My pre-op RN Leila was gentle and efficient putting me at ease, RN Ricky in intra-op was also kind and reassuring, and post-op RN Lorela was so sweet and made the whole experience even better. Hugs to all. Dr. Lee greeted me before the procedure and after explaining everything carefully, and he let me know what would happen next….a very kind man. Our cars were waiting for us when walked out! A totally positive experience beginning to end. I can’t recommend more highly UCI Health! Five stars is not enough.

Dr. John Lee, Do you always wash your hands before you do a resection of a polyp? Do you pass germs from one patient to the next?

First of all, I never got to see the doctor so I can only rate his staffs and the people who work at UCI medical center. I've been trying to setup an appointment because my primary doctor referred to this specialist. It's been 4+ weeks, and I'm finally giving up on seeing him. Every time I call to setup an appointment, (usually 30 mins waiting), the person tells me that someone would call me in 2~3 days. They never do. It's very very frustrating. I don't care how good the doctor is. If I cannot see him, then he's no good for me.

Great technically. Wonderful explanation of the procedure. Before seeking out Dr. Lee (he is out-of-network), I had had an aborted ERCP (due to stomach blockage I had mentioned to him) for an inflamed bile duct with no other symptoms. The first physician did not listen at all and assumed I needed an ERCP with a stint After the aborted procedure, I had Dr. Lee recommended by 4 people so I sought him out. He did an endoscopic ultrasound before doing the ERCP, found that the bile duct had shrunk, saw no reason for ERCP and this whole ordeal was over. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee.
