Very arrogant. Would rather go to a veterinarian for surgery. . How he has a license is unbelievable.

Dr. Lee is the best surgeon out there. He saved my life when I had a severe liver hemorrhage and almost died. He is very kind and compassionate. Could not ask for a better surgeon or doctor. Extremely smart.

Dr. Lee performed surgery to remove a small cancerous spot from my liver. It was ina difficult location to access but he was able to get at it and remove it without any problems. I found him to be passionate about his work and highly competent. He’s also very kind and warm.

Pandering and out of touch. Don't be fooled by his sense of entitlement. He cares nothing about people. You are only a footnote in his self absorbed attempt at " care".

This man is arrogant and lacks the ability to take responsibility for his mistakes. His diagnosis was inadequate and his surgical procedure was filled with mistakes. He left me with more problems than I had before ever meeting him. God have mercy on his soul.

He saved my life last summer when I had a rare liver hemorrage. He is extremely smart and has the best bed side manner. When he first saw me in ICU he knew just what to do to save my life.
