The Best Opener in the game. ??
For my cervical fusion yesterday, 1/18, Doc Lee was gracious enough to partner with my spine surgeon in performing a c3/4 anterior fusion (for brevity). The Doc was the Opener and apparently he was perfect because I’m still alive to write this. ?? Actually, he was perfect, and his co-surgeon said there’s no better Opener in the game. Due to the complexities with having scar tissue and with respect to location of throat to neck, my Spinal surgeon wanted the best to open and navigate, due to his expertise. This is one very happy patient of Dr Lee’s! Thank you, thank you!

Save your time and copay
I chose this doctor because he is in close proximity of my home in Ashburn, VA. He was a perfect example of not very professional doctor. He sounded like I was making up my symptoms. He was not even interested in understanding the problem. I was disappointed when consultation was over. It was just a waste of my time and copay. My consultation was this morning, and I am already in search of another ENT doctor.

Extremely Rude
I don’t know if this doctor was having a bad day, but my appointment was pretty early, so I doubt it. He didn’t even politely greet me and was extremely rude and annoyed, but he gladly billed my insurance and charged me a copay. He jerked my head and neck around when I wasn’t fast enough doing what he asked me to do. He then told me to just use heat and “load up” on Aleve and Motrin, which is really bad advice for anyone, but especially for a patient with serious cardiac issues. He then just took off out of the room while I was still talking to him. I will find another practice to go to in the future.

It was great. He was very professional and was great with my autistic son. He had his nose cauterized and was great at explaining step by step so my son knew what was next. It was fast and pain free experience for my son. I came here after having a horrible experience at another ENT drs office. I was glad I found Dr. Lee.

Wax accumulates behind my in-the-canal hearing aid, as in the canal the aid confines the wax to the canal. Accumulated wax interferes with hearing well. Removing wax from my ear, that is very sensitive at the bottom, Dr. Lee was gentle and caused no pain.

I'll never go back for follow-up. The only reason I made an appointment was I need to see an ENT asap after my ER visit. He was the only one available to see me right away. I realize why it was easy to make an appointment to see him. He was rude, condescending and arrogant. Worse his attire (white coat) was dirty and wrinkled unfit for a doctor's appearance. The only plus side was a neck brace he gave.

I am so glad I went to Dr. Lee. I had been having headaches and earaches so I chose Dr. Lee as my ENT to consult. He diagnosed my problem quickly and accurately. He said my aches were not from what I thought but that I needed to see a spine specialist because my medical issues were from my neck. I did as he suggested and he was absolutely correct! The spine specialist found neck issues which were causing my pain. I am so grateful to Dr. Lee for his accurate diagnosis!

I was highly impressed with Dr. Lee and his staff. My son had to be scheduled for surgery. He explained everything in detail. He answered all questions and put my mind at ease. His assistant and surgical scheduler was on top of her game. She answered all my questions and was so helpful. She was so wonderful with my son.

I visited Dr James Lee today and was impressed with his knowledge after meeting with several doctors. I have a lump on my right cheek for the last five years, It is not cancer but very close to the nerve. Other doctor wanted to do a scar from the outside. Dr. James explained in details why I should not do it from the outside and it will be closer to the nerve. I trusted him very much taking the time explaining to me the whole procedure in details. I wanted to move forward and have the surgery .
