15. "I will recommend Dr. Lee to everyone I know who needs an endocrinologist."

16. "While she was very thorough in explaining treatment options, I didn't feel like she heard me when I was explaining that weight loss was not a priority for me. It felt like she was jumping the gun by discussing weight loss medications and even bariatric surgery on the first visit. I didn't feel like there was enough discussion about how to manage my symptoms with minimal treatment."

17. "Took time to explain everything and for me to ask questions, etc."

18. "I felt that no matter what I said, I was given a response of not even trying to help my concerns."

19. "Dr. was excellent at listening to my concerns and including me in the decision-making process. Very good 'bedside manner,' excellent communicator."

27. "Dr. Lee is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable. She spends time explaining treatment options. The only issue is it's hard to get a response via email. One time it took a month to get a response, and another time it wasn't responded to until my appointment, which was a couple of weeks after I sent it. I don't think it's Dr. Lee, however. I am thinking it's her staff that initially reviews. Dr. Lee is one of the best doctors I have ever seen."
