Dr Lee is the most thorough doctor I have had the pleasure of being his patient. He always asked how I am doing; if I have any concerns about my care; if I have a problem he addresses it then if not he finds the answer and gives me an answer.

Dr David Lee and his staff are absolutely amazing. Last year he did my shoulder replacement, and fortunately he did my knee replacement this year. He goes above and beyond excellence and his staff are extremely amazing. They genuinely care about you as a patient. I have never had to wait more than an hour for them to respond through MyChart, or by phone. I absolutely recommend them 1000%. They are the best orthopedic surgeon/staff. They will make sure that any questions or fears are you may have are absolved and you treat you with the utmost dignity and respect.

Dr. Lee has been my doctor for many many years. I would not know what to do if he left the practice and I had no orthopedic doctor to see he is just totally awesome. He cares for his patience he let you know why your concerns and what steps he will have to take an order to fix your concerns. If Dr. Lee ever left the practice I would never have another orthopedic. He is totally awesome

Dr. Lee has been my orthopedist for 19 years. He performed an arthroscopy after which I was freely walking without pain in two days. When I needed a total knee replacement performed, he was my first and only choice. I have a complex history with my left leg and trust Dr. Lee's experience and expertise above all others. I believe that I have the best outcome possible due to his treatment and care.
