Dr. Lee is excellent. Takes time to make certain I have a thorough explanation and understanding of next steps and where I am at the time

National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2017
First rate!!

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2017
My 60-minute initial appointment was only 30 minutes long, but this was not the dr.'s fault. I felt pushed to get through his script. I feel NO rapport with him. I am hopeful that things will go much more smoothly in the follow-up visit. I DO believe the dr. is very knowledgeable & capable.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2017
Dr lee was amazing! He was able to explain to me what kind of issues I have and their possible causes. His knowledge of [condition] was exemplary. he was able to discuss [condition] and other issues with [PHI] to also cause my issues.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2017
great doctor.

National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2017
Provider was extremely comprehensive and knowledgeable about all areas of concern. He offered options and gave suggestions about ways to improve my current situation (and more). It was an excellent first appointment. I attempted the follow-through he mentioned, but it was not as easy as the appointment. I am hoping that my message was delivered to him.
