Dr.Lee was amazing. I felt like we had all the time in the world to talk, I didn't feel rushed at all. He seemed well versed on my case before he got into the room. He explanlined everything in a way we could understand. He explained why we are taking the route we are taking. He also reassured me of his confidence we would get everything worked out.

We had been seeing a neurosurgeon in Jackson Tn. West Tennessee Neurosciences and Dr Lee was up and above the care we received there. Also the NP was great!

Dr. Lee was compassionate, caring and ultra-competent. He reviewed my MRIs methodically and provided clear and understandable explanations. My wife and I left with a clear sense of what was the status of my spinal cord condition and prognosis for further treatment. Excellent.
