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 experience.
Excellent! Did surgery on my wrist. Resulted in my pain scale going from 5-10 to 1-3. Still rebuilding strength and flexibility. I can use tools again and open a jar!

5 min conversations for $165 copay
My experiences with Dr. Lee were by far the most emotionally and physically damaging of any experience with a doctor I've had. I saw Dr. Lee after a serious injury about 4 years ago. I would pay $165 copays every time and she'd have me out of the office within 10 minutes. That includes taking X-rays, so I'd only get to talk to her for about 5 minutes. She'd talk very quickly, rush through my questions, and have me bewildered by the time I left. In severe pain, I felt so confused after every visit. The last time I saw her, she told me she wanted me to stop using my cane and walk more. I stopped using my cane and forced myself to walk through pain. The limping caused additional injuries to my hip and tailbone, which 4 years later still flare up. After I switched to another doctor, simply having someone take the time to talk to me and show even a small amount of empathy left me crying with relief. The second doctor offered me treatment options that Dr. Lee didn't inform me of.

Dr. Lee is a god send!
Dr. Stella Lee was a god send. I met her at the ER after a fall resulted in a significant elbow fracture. She’s smart and caring. She explained the surgical process and the damage to my elbow simply and directly. Her bedside manner alleviated any fears. I had complete faith in her. I required seven hours of surgery. Months after the surgery, I have 99.9% mobility. I’m grateful she was available when my elbow needed her. She made a challenging situation easier to personally manage. I sing her praises every chance I get.

Great experience!!
My experience at Seacoast has been superb. I was referred when I broke my hand. I was able to get an appointment within a couple hours of my first phone call with the office. The front desk staff was responsive and very friendly. The medical staff were very careful with my hand, answered all my questions, and helped shape my brace so that it was both comfortable yet still provided me some function. Dr. Lee was great. She explain the details of my fracture clearly and concisely and presented treatment as options rather than pushing me in a certain direction. Ultimately, I chose surgery and she did a great job. It's not even 3 weeks since the operation and I have already regained most of my range of motion. Scheduling follow-up appointments has been easy, no problems getting copies of x-rays or other information. Highly recommend Seacoast! They've been a bright spot during a challenging time

Great surgeon and a nice person
Dr. Lee and her staff could not have been more helpful and compassionate. My hand had bothered me for a number of years. Within a day of my surgery the pain and discomfort was gone and six weeks later remains a fading memory. Very satisfied with the result. Highly recommend Dr. Lee.
