Dr. Catherine Lee, I think she is a wonderful doctor. She listens to me when I talk to her. She explains everything to me. We work very well together. My son is autistic and he seems to work pretty well with her as well. She's a great psychiatrist and I plan on keeping her until he no longer needs to see her, period. She's just a wonderful person. She's great with the kids and she's great about explaining everything and making sure I understand what we're doing before I leave the office. Period. And I like her a lot.

Dr. Lee is fantastic. She's easy to talk to. Explains things well and takes into account patient and parent input. You can tell she really cares about her patients.

This was our first visit with a new psychiatrist. It was a wonderful visit and I left with a positive, hopeful outlook! I felt that she listens to my concerns which was an issue with the previous psychiatrist. Im hoping this is a good change for my daughter and we will make some positive progress.
