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.

ZERO STARS IF WE COULD!!!! Sorry to say but it's true. It's also sad to hear others have had to deal with the same poor medical attention and unprofessional attitude and behavior. I wish we would have known before we referred to him from our ER visit. Chelsea Orthopedic doctors would have been our choice had we known.

Dr. Lee is an excellent doctor. He can come off as a little abrasive (bedside manner can be lacking) but medically speaking he is one of the best doctors I've ever been treated by. He doesn't push surgery which is a welcome change from the greedy doctors in Jackson and he actually spends time with you. He spent 2 hours with me on my first visit and over the last few months he did everything he could to avoid putting me through surgery. I'll be coming back to Dr. Lee for any future ortho issues!

I am currently a patient of Dr. Lee. He is an excellent doctor. This is the second time over the past five years that I have required his expertise and he has not failed me. He treats me and tells me what I need to do to heal properly and resume my normal life. I do what he tells me to do and we are successful. Any impedance to my recovery is my fault. He isn't "touchy feely" and he isn't your best friend. He is your doctor. If you're looking for a pal get a dog.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I've treated by Dr. Lee for over a year and half. I still have the same pain in my foot, but now it's worse. I got a second opinion, and was told everything Dr. Lee did was wrong and only made my situation worse. He has horrible people skills and sometimes when I went in for my appointment it was like he had no idea why I was there. Very disappointing!!!! The staff is fantastic. I feel sorry for them.

Dr. Lee I spot on when it comes to explaining your problem, His limitation with your problem, what you need to do to expect recovery. Some my find him very direct and not sympathetic. Call it reality this guy is one amazing surgeon and doctor.
