Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

His staff is rude and ignorant and the doctor is not any better. Inconsiderate and very unprofessional and does not cater to patients needs instead is too prideful and selfish not knowing how much he makes his patients suffer. Expect to wait at least 90minutes to see the doctor that always arrives late. There were times I was in his office for over 2 hours just for a 10 minute chat

My mom has been with Dr. Lee for 4 years now. At first, I just took her to him because he was the first one In the insurance providers list but later, I have realized that we are very lucky to have him as my mom's nephrologist, he is the best! He treats my mom with utmost care and with sincerity. I know that I can find a lot of other good doctors but i know that i will never find anybody like this doctor. I cant thank him enough for my mom's new life after she agreed to start on dialysis.

Dr. Edward Lee is such an intelligible and kind doctor! Unlike other doctors who rush their patients out the door, Dr.Lee takes time to talk in detail patients' conditions, treatment plans and concerns. He is good-hearted and really cares for his patients. I think he gives the most sincere medical advice out of all my doctors! His office is very clean and his staff is very courteous and professional. I highly recommend him to those who need a PCP/nephrologist.
