Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
I have been seen by Dr. Lee approximately 5 times. Twice I had injections for Carpal Tunnel & Forearm Tendinitis which gave me much needed relief. He had also referred me for Occupational Therapy on my hands, wrists, & Forearms. He is a caring, professional doctor & I'm happy with his treatment. I have already recommended Dr. Lee to my friends.

Dr Lee is the absolute worst doctor I have ever met. This is my 100 % honest review, I have no other motive than to provide you with the tools to make an informed decision about your health care. Dr. Lee is rude & very unprofessional. Didn’t look at my X-ray but told me “if it’s broke or if it’s bruised it’s all the same just put a brace on for 4 weeks.” The nurse asked how my visit went and when I told her she gave me a look like she knew. Then said “ Yea, I can’t say anything. Beware!

I had a great experience overall. He was courteous, took the necessary time with me and listened. I dumbfounded by the negative reviews he has because my experience was totally opposite of that. Maybe he’s corrected some of the complaints and made staff changes. He’s located in a very nice new building by the Pomona Hospital where I feel safe. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr Lee has no bedside manner, he doesn't seem to have compassion or understanding of a person's need to be shown dignity by answering questions in a respectful manner. He Doesn't answer questions directly and sorts of shrugs his shoulders and asks, "What do you think"??? so after 2 visits, I have had to go online to understand my problem a little better. I will now be going to get a second opinion from a doctor that's willing to explain the X-ray & treatment

Ranks right up there with about the worst office I've ever been to. The office staff lies to patients. They will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to get you out of there or off the phone, then accuse you of "misunderstanding". They are rude, condescending, have NO problem lying to patients and take their time to make anything happen.

Michelle Brown in Rancho Cucamonga, CA – Jul 18, 2017
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lee?
I had a very negative experience from Dr. Lee's care. I had (and still have!) a very sensitive, hard to heal fracture, but Dr. Lee said I could expect to be recovered in 6-8 weeks with a hard cast. Over three months later, and I still have a fracture. When I was able to see another doctor covered under my insurance (he was the only one in my area for a period) he asked me whether or not I'd seen an orthopedic and told me my initial fracture should've been dealt with immediately.

The surgery I had was supposed to be a low risk surgery. It's six months later and the pain is as bad as before the surgery. My post op care was awful.
