"I was able to get an appointment at his Los Gatos office in 3 weeks but not in his Monterey office until l became established patient. I thought it was awkward could he be that busy and when l arrived there was no one in the office but I! We followed up at his Monterey office which a skin biopsy was taken but he never called me back with the results. I called his Monterey office and his assistant told me l had to book an appointment for the Dr. giving me the results of the biopsy and the earliest appointment was 6 weeks away!! I explained l already been waiting several weeks for him to call me with the results and would appreciate it if he would see me earlier than 6 weeks. She put me on a brief hold and returned to tell me the doctor will work me in for a quick appointment only 5 minutes to give me the results but not more than that because he was completely book. I arrived at the Monterey office at the appointment time there was no other patient but me there. I waited 20 minutes for a 5 minute appointment. I did get my results to the biopsy, got a prescription to fill and was told l would be called for a follow up within 2 months at the Monterey office. He also referred me to an allergy specialist. I did see the allergist. I was ghosted by Dr. Lee. I had to find another dermatologist locally who didn’t have a 6 month waiting list."

"My 3rd annual office visit and I've always felt very welcome by the great sraff. My exam today was performed by PA Nicole and she was very thorough and provided helpful information !! 5 Stars all the way."

"With personable and caring staff, I've been very pleased with the care I receive at Dr. Eric Lee's dermatology clinic. I've had appointments at both his Monterey and his Los Gatos offices and both are well equipped and COVID safe. Dr Lee took his time and talked me through the exams and subsequent follow up treatments. I received timely reports and even on the spot patient records for life insurance applications.Highly recommend."

"I HAD MY FIRST VISIT WITH DR. ERIC LEE, DERMATOLOGIST, TODAY. I FOUND DR LEE TO BE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. HE PERFORMED AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDED COURTEOUS TREATMENT. HIS STAFF WAS ALSO FRIENDLY AND MADE ME FEEL WELCOME IN THEIR CLEAN, WELL APPOINTED OFFICE. IT WAS AN OVERALL PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AND I AM COMFORTABLE IN RECOMMENDING HIM. (THIS IS A FATHER AND SON ORGANIZATION: I SAW DR ERIC LEE, THE SON.)"

"Do not go to this dermatologist. I only gave this guy a star because giving none is not a choice. In my book he gets negative stars. He should NOT be allowed to practice. I went to him because I was worried about a lesion that has been on my face for several months, and since I just lost my brother to cancer that started on his face, I thought I should have it checked. It took him ten minutes to ask why I was there. He went on and on about how mid-westerners are stupid for having nice back yards, and how bad America was. His incessant chatter rattled my nerves even more than they already were. When he finally got around to asking me why I was there, he told me how many people die of Melanoma and then had me sit in his chair to take a look – with his naked eye. No lighted magnifier for this guy. He pushed under my eye (the general location of the legion) and when I told him that it hurt, he pushed harder and told me I should see an eye doctor because it was close to my eye. I asked why, when it was there was a legion on my face, and wouldn’t that make it a dermatology issue? He said “he didn’t know” and that he would freeze the spot – which he did, without explanation as to why. I asked if I now need not worry about cancer, and he told me that our bodies are always making cancer, and that we just have to fight it. He told me to come back in 4 weeks – that cancer doesn’t grow fast. After I left, I saw that the spot that he “treated” was NOT even the right spot! He was a good quarter of an inch off. I went to a real dermatologist the next day, who immediately told me that it was a pre-cancerous legion. She gave me a brochure that showed what I have, and she treated me. She also did a full body skin check (the other guy never suggested such a thing). Not to sound over dramatic, but his Lee moron could have caused an unnecessary death. Not to mention that I now have an ugly spot on my face where he froze my skin (perfectly good skin). Again, DO NOT go to this DR man."
