Dr Lee fused my c6 and 7 vertebrae which is done by going in through the front of the neck, had no post op pain in my neck. Have been pain free since the operation in 2018. I have more surgery needed and will seek out Dr. Lee for the operation. I can not express enough how good this man is as a neurosurgeon

Staff1 Punctuality1 Helpfulness1 Knowledge4 Suughoon Lee might be a very capable surgeon but as a person he is nothing to write home about, neither is his Staff. After making me jump through hoops I have still not heard one word from him or his incapable Staff. Save your time, Frustration and Money and go to ANOTHER Doctor. You'll be very thankful that you did. God bless & Good Luck

Dr. Sunghoon Lee is very friendly and an extremely skilled surgeon. My husband had back surgery and went from taking 4-6 pain pills per day to taking nothing after surgery. We are so thankful we found Dr. Sunghoon Lee and would strongly recommend him.

Dr Lee has done 2 surgeries on my back and one on my hip and the outcomes have been excellent. He listened and cared and did not give up until I got the surgeries I needed, I will always be grateful for his help. I think he is an excellent doctor and will always be thankful for his skill and help.

Dr. Lee saw me in the ER after a helicopter flight from an Arkansas hospital. He did immediate emergency surgery to save my life! He is a very gifted and talented physician.

Some people should find other kinds of work. Maybe people grow up wanting to be a doctor but that does not mean they are cut out for one. I think maybe Dr. Lee would work out well at McDonalds or Subway someplace where customer service is not the norm.
