My provider went out of his way to invite my husband into the conversation about surgery and make sure I understood risks concerns frequently. Ask questions. His communication skills are top notch.

Dr Lee listen to all my concerns. He was very encouraging not to get discouraged. He had different suggestions and a plan after some more testing we could decide what needed to be done.

The time spent was quick with Dr. Lee. He was so blunt with what was needed that we were caught off guard for questions. Now could be this is the 7 doctor we have seen, and just excited to have an answer. Just needed a bit of time to collect our thoughts.
