"Dr Lee is singularly the WORST doctor I have EVER encountered. I went for a follow up appointment to remove stitches on my left thumb. After over a one hour wait, he came in and looked at it quickly and briefly said he would come right back to remove the stitches. I then waited again another 45 minutes during which time I opened the door to the examining room twice to ask when he was coming back….because I knew they had forgotten me. The first time the assistant said I was next….then 20 minutes later, I again looked out and finally complained and asked what is going on. He’s definitely forgotten I’m here!!! After that a PA came in with the other assistant and said the doctor told me I’m done ….that I was finished. So I asked.,.. » what about my stitches??? ». Isn’t he going to take them out??? «  He has frankly forgotten all about me!!! ». And they both looked puzzled, said they will come back with the proper tools etc ….and the PA returned to say she would remove them. ...
So she took care of me….and Dr Lee never returned to apologize or anything. Frankly I am shocked that he is still in practice and also shocked to read the wonderful reviews he has received in the past. Perhaps something has negatively impacted him in his life, and he is being challenged with some life crisis …..otherwise there is absolutely no other excuse for his actions. "
