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.

Dr. Lee was thoughtful in his time with me, made the time to answer all of my questions, showed me what he saw in my MRI and created an approach to move forward that made sense to me. It was a relief to have a doctor hear my concerns and provide next steps.
