"Dr. Lee’s skills and knowledge gave me my life back. After spinal injuries since the age of 15, numerous years of PT, epidural injections and consultations with Orthos and Neuros, I knew the minute I met Dr. Lee that he was my surgeon. He is straight forward, transparent and his team (Heather) are incredible. During my stay in the hospital, Dr. Lee’s residents were also capable and kind. I’ve celebrated one year since that combined ALIF and PLIF and am forever grateful to Dr. Lee."
"Very straightforward. I always knew what was being done and why. Bed side manner is reassuring and inspires confidence in his work. Doc Lee has put together a fantastic team and I am truly happy that I ended up on his operating table"
"He did a wonderful job on my surgery...unfortunately my X husband destroyed all his work! And I have to go back! But I pray he can work his magic again? And I'll be able to recover fully this time? Great bedside manner also,Dr Joon Lee is the most honest and easiest to understand what you're about to go through!"
