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.

One of the Best Drs I’ve ever met
Dr. Lee is a such an amazing surgeon and doctor. My son was referred to him for a biopsy of a lymph node that was suspected to possibly be cancerous. From our first meeting I immediately felt so comfortable. His bedside manner is probably the best I’ve ever come across. He addressed my son directly and showed him such kindness! He reassured us that we were making the right choice in removing the entire node in surgery. He spent so much time with us in the first meeting. The surgery went flawlessly and my son is healing great. Dr Lee kept a close eye on my son’s results and reached out directly to me to let me know the good news. I would never bring my children to anyone but Dr Lee for a surgery. Thank you again Dr Lee for helping Jack and putting up with my crazy family!

Our 8 month old developed an abscess when he was just a few months old. We saw Doctor Lee and we came up with a plan if we had to use it. Unfortunately we had to use the plan. The overall process, his professionalism and his care is a blessing. Thank you for everything you do and your care for your patients.

Dr Lee and his surgical team are awesome. He performed the surgery on my son removing giant mesenteric lipoma. I was so scared by not knowing drs, and hospital. But everything turns to be excellent . Dr Lee and his team were taking care of us so good by checking on us everyday for couple of times while we were in hospital. He is amazing surgeon and person with whom you can really talk to. He is answering that many questions, never leaves not giving an answer. I really recommend dr Lee to anybody

Dr Lee handled the surgery for our 6 month old who had an umbilical hernia and a possible inguinal hernia. All other surgeons we saw said the inguinal couldn't be healed on its on but the umbilical can and Dr Lee was the only one who said opposite and he turned out correct. 2 years later and our son is doing great

My son started having a sharp abdominal pain 8 days ago which continued to persist. Over the course of the past few days, we went through 6 physicians (2 ER doctors, 2 primary care doctors, 1 pediatric GI specialist and 1 pediatric surgeon): 2 ultrasounds, 1 MRI, 2 KUB X-rays, blood work, urine work - yet they could find nothing in these and passed the buck on. Dr. Li was the first one who took ownership - he repeatedly went through the MRI till he found the correct (benign) diagnosis.
