Nicoline V. Lee, MD

"My doctor for the past 15 years. Highly recommend!!"

"After reading the reviews on Dr. Nicoline Lee via the Houston Methodist web-portal, I booked an appointment and waited 9 months for an opening. On 8.30.23, I was excited about finally getting the chance to visit with her and discuss my primary health conditions! During the pre-screening, the medical-assistance was updating the records on the PC & asking the usual questions on medical history and prescriptions taken. She asked me about one particular one that was a narcotic prescribed for chronic-pain. I explained why my specialist had me taking those on an as-needed basis. She immediately stated that “this doctor does Not prescribe pain medicine” and I asked what does she do; and she stated that she sends you to a pain-specialist. I said ok, that’s fine, because that’s not my reason for this appointment today. She then said that I didn’t seem “happy” and she asked me twice if I wanted to “cancel the visit”? I was completely taken back by this question that came out of nowhere. Why would you be so anxious to cancel my appointment and I’m already sitting in the room after waiting 9 months? She then walks out and closes the door; about 5 minutes later, Dr. Lee comes in; I stand up to greet her and shake her hand to introduce myself. She immediately became very stand-offish and said to me, “I hear you’re unhappy, maybe we should cancel this appointment”. She never once asked me about my conditions that I was needing treatment for; she never once showed an ounce of concern for me as a person, a patient or as a customer! She is a very cold, unempathetic and non-caring so-called doctor. I am so very disappointed and sadden that my very impression and experience at Houston Methodist had to be with these two individuals. I really hope that this has nothing to do with my race and ethnicity; however, I’m struggling to know why they treated me in this manner? All they had to tell me was that she didn’t want to accept any new patients; no need to treat me like a bum! Thanks to Mr. Armando Delgadillo (Clinic Manager) who saved the day by apologizing for her actions and also rescheduling me with another doctor. Dr. Ajay Bhardwaj and his assistant, Ms. Marisala; they were the consummate professionals and made me feel very welcomed as a new patient. I would like to pause and thank them for their kindness and care! All the Best, A. Sidney"

"Dr Lee is our primary care physician. We feel extremely fortunate to have her in our corner when things are going south."

"Great doctor with a genuine concern for your health. Some doctors want to get you in and out without really listening but not Dr. Lee. She is quick and efficient while also taking the time required to understand your needs. I have also used the online messaging to discuss changes and she is always quick and thorough in her response."

"Horrible experience!! Dr Lee has horrible bedside manners.. She insulted me during my visit twice and told me over and over I was going to die since I had so many problems for 46 yrs old."
