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.

He is short and doesn't explain the condition completely. This lack of information left me feeling confused and scared about my o utcome. My nasal polyps he said are due to my "Gene Pool" and I'm stuck with them my entire life now. He made me feel helpless on my condition. Upon seeing another ENT and all research explains that allergies lead to nasal polyps. This is my 3rd visit with Lee and everytime is a disappointment and I am saddened that he misleads his patients.

Dr.lee is absolutely the best!! I have chronic sinusitis and was struggling with ear aches and sinus infections, and Dr. Lee knew just what to do to help me. He is very knowledgeable and answers every question you have. Also his nurses and office staff are the nicest people around. He also sees you right away you don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment.

Most proficient ENT in the area, he is the go to recommendation of the areas best general practitioners. Dr Lee performed difficult polo surgery on my nasal passages with no complications and a very rapid recovery. Appointments are easy to get. He is very understanding if I am running late.
