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.

Excellent care. He explains everything simply.
Staff was very professional and friendly.

Dr. Lee is a'surgical rock star'.
Dr. Lee reviewed my medical records, and described in detail the surgery I would need. He answered all my questions and concerns. After reviewing my medical history, Dr. Lee indicated that I had a stricture in my colon known as an apple-core lesion that had to be removed. He indicated that he would perform the colon resection colectomy utilizing the robotic laparoscopic method. He indicated that this was a minimally invasive surgery by making a few small incisions the size of my fingertip.My surgery was a huge success, and I was up walking just several hours after I was in my hospital room, and left the hospital 2 days later. Dr. Lee gave my wife the good news immediately after he finished my surgery. He was informative, supportive, and caring from intake to post surgery. Dr. Lee is the consummate professional .I will recommend Dr. Lee to anyone I know who would require his surgical expertise.Kudos to Dr. Lee, his support staff and Tucson Medical Center.

Professional, polite and a great surgeon
I had a colonoscopy come back bad in November 2022. I had a small tumor that needed to be removed from my rectum. After dealing with another doctor’s office that could not get their act together and get me in for surgery I was referred to Dr. Peter Lee. His staff was amazing. Got all the lab work and reports online had me scheduled ASAP and into surgery within a couple weeks. Dr. Lee was able to remove the tumor and it was non-cancerous and I was greatly relieved. It was wonderful working with a professional and customer service oriented office. I would highly recommend them.

I wish all doctors were as kind & caring as Dr. Lee. He took time to answer questions my former oncologist wouldn't answer even though that isn't his specialty. I live 80 miles from Columbus. He & his staff are always considerate of that when scheduling appointments. He is very intelligent, just look up his educational background. He'll explain all options available when considering treatment which can be overwhelming but I know that I have a choice in my health care. Highly recommend Dr. Lee.

Mount Vernon, OH – May 02, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lee?
First off when I arrived at his office early for my appointment no one else was waiting. I still waited 25 minutes and in that time no other patients left so I don't know what the hold up was. Then after two appointments we scheduled surgery. Let me just tell you that his bed side Manor is horrible. It was almost as if he was trying to scary me out of the surgery. Then he messed up my paper work. It took me 3 messages and 1 week to get a call back from his office.
