Dr. Lee gets to the point of the visit quickly, but is very willing to listen, and advise as needed. My child really likes talking to her and appreciates that she listens and doesn't talk down to him. Dr. Lee's nurse is very caring and gentle with him, giving him privacy for certain questions, and listening as well when he asks questions of her.

Excellent service for my child

Dr. Lee has a calming demeanor. She explains things in a way my daughter can understand. She allows my daughter to play with fidgets during the appointment which helps her open up I think. She is always willing to work with the child and parent to find out what is best for them. We are so happy to have found her for my daughter
