I always receive first rate care, from Dr Lee and staff… otherwise I wouldn’t go to LMC.
July 4, 2025
Dr. Lee has been my orthopedist for 19 years. He performed an arthroscopy after which I was freely walking without pain in two days. When I needed a total knee replacement performed, he was my first and only choice. I have a complex history with my left leg and trust Dr. Lee's experience and expertise above all others. I believe that I have the best outcome possible due to his treatment and care.

April 3, 2025
Dr. Lee was very thorough and efficient. Appreciated that he did not press surgery as the initial approach.
April 2, 2025
The doctor approximately spent 3 mts with me in the room. I expected him to show me the MRI and then give me some explanation on where the issue was and how the new treatment would help me. But he was in a hurry and said that he is referring to physiotherapy and then left. May be the next visit he spends some more time to explain and really show that he is concerned about my health..
April 2, 2025
I would recommend they to everyone, in fact I have told several people about how good Dr. Lee was. I am really satisfied with the way I was treated. I could not ask for any better.
March 31, 2025
My only complaint is Dr Lee is always in a rush to leave the room. I just want him to slow down and listen. I feel like I have to have a list every time so he doesn’t run out the door before I have a chance to talk.
March 24, 2025
No problems whatsoever.
