      Dr. Lee was friendly and concerned, but he did not take the time to get the whole picture from his PA before diagnosing and prescribing a drug for me. I am still unsure of the diagnosis, and may seek a second opinion.

      Dr. Lee is by far the most knowledgeable, caring and thorough physician I have ever seen regarding my rare condition. He spent almost an hour with myself and husband. I was very impressed how he included my husband In his explanation of how intricate my condition worked. I will wholeheartedly recommend and refer patients to Dr. Lee. I feel very fortunate to have found someone with his level of expertise and care. It's truly unparalleled in the healthcare industry. He deserves a Lamborghini as a bonus this year! :-)

      I had concerns/questions of symptoms that I am currently having and never got to voice those concerns. I am thankful I have no new MS lesions, but am having current symptoms. The fact that I have no new lesions, was the only topic. I am not happy.
