    Dr Lee is professional, caring and outstanding. I have sleep apnea and she is trying different approaches for me. I really appreciate her help!

    I really appreciated the thoroughness of both her review of my medical history and the specifics of my current status/symptoms. I had great confidence that I was in good hands and was going to get the much needed help in diagnosing and addressing my condition.

    Unfortunately I was very late, so I assume she was rushing in order to catch up. But it was hard to follow what she said because she spoke so fast, and I did not feel she was really listening to my issues or had solutions I could use.

    She doesn't seem to really care about what a patient says - she has her agenda and goes with that. Bed side manner could use a lot of work..

    She was very observant and very respectful. She completely clocked that I had sleep inertia without me actually saying one thing. She just saw it by my behavior. She talked a little bit about sleep like it was something you could control, but I don't know if that's, I mean, I can't control it, but maybe she can.

    This provider is, well, she's very nice. All the appointments seem very rushed. I don't feel as though I can get my information in. I feel as though I am being cut off all the time so that she can get her information in. I feel like it's more her agenda rather than mine. It's always feeling like it's, you know, all pushed in and shoved into a very small amount of time so she can get to her next patient. It's just not very comforting from a patient standpoint.

    Being a patient new to sleep apnea and a CPAP machine, there was not enough time in our 30 minute appointment to discuss all relevant and needed issues. This doctor tends to talk more than allow the patient to speak and usually runs 5-10 minutes late to an appt ultimately limiting your appt to less than 30 mins. That said, Dr. Lee is a good diagnostician and is compassionate. [redacted]

    I cannot recommend Dr. Lee enough. From my very first visit, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional-knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. Dr. Lee always take the time to listen to my concerns without rushing, and their expertise made a world of difference in identifying and addressing the root of my issues. Dr. Lee always has created a safe and respectful environment where I feel seen and understood-not just as a patient, but as a person with a unique background. Her approach in every conversation is empathetic and her recommendations are always align with my values and experiences.

  • Reviewed on 5/13/2025

    Dr Lee could use some serious work on her bedside manner - she clearly knows what she is doing but she is so condescending in the process that it's difficult to actually get through the appointment without feeling icky (for lack of a better word) in the process anymore. It feels like she's just trying to get through a checklist - not an actually provide full patient care...
