Reviewed on Oct 14, 2019
Dr. Lee is the best doctor that I have ever met with. I have been on an undiagnosed illness journey for 6 years. In that time I have seen 3 Functional Medicine Doctors, 4 Gastroenterologists, my Gynecologist, and a slew of alternative practice doctors. Over the years I have been "diagnosed" with many different things and been prescribed many different treatment plans. None of them have worked. The last gastro told me that there was nothing that could be done. Dr. Lee figured out what my issue was within 5 minutes of looking at my CT scan. She explained in a clear and relatable fashion what was wrong, why it was an issue, and how I could fix it. She spent an hour with me answering all of my questions, even ones that I didn't have. I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders immediately. My journey will continue. I'm not healed and I never will be. But now I know how to manage my illness and why the illness exists in the first place. Thank you, Dr. Lee!
