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.
