She saved my life !
From the day I meet Dr Lee to less than 2 months later I had a cancerous tumor removed from my throat. She caught it early because my symptoms were minimal. She was caring and compassionate and I trusted her I didn’t need chemo and after surgery went to radiation. My prospects are good She is one of my main guardian angels. I’ve had 4 cancers and I put my life in her hands for my 4th cancer. I trust her 109% and I feel that she cares.

Dangerous mis-diagnosis
I was referred to Dr. Lee by my internist for what was a suspected case of Eagle's Syndrome based on my symptoms (neck pain on rotation; and sporadic heart palpitations) an abnormal CT that showed calcified and elongated styloid ligaments. I had done my own research into this condition and had seen several CT scans that looked just like mine. It is a rare condition but very real. Dr. Lee looked at my CT scan and said point blank that I didn't have Eagle's Syndrome. She was abrupt , dismissive and upset that I done my own research. I called my internist in tears because I thought I was crazy. My internist called the radiologist who told her that my styloids were the longest he had EVER seen...EVER. I found a doctor a University of Pennsylvania who immediately diagnosed me and performed surgery a month later. I hate to say this about a female physician, but Dr. Lee's ego makes her dangerous. Find a different doctor.

My child is experiencing a sudden hearing loss. Dr. Lee's bedside manner is very rude - she acted as if she was bothered when answering my questions. She spent less than 10 mins with the recent consultation. Worst of all, she left out a significant neurological finding in our recent radiology report, and I discovered it only after carefully reading the report at home. It could potentially relate to the hearing problems, and she also should have brought it to my attention for a neurologist visit. I would never recommend her.

I was diagnosed with oral cancer in late 2019 and was told I needed to go see an ENT. I went to see Dr. Patty Lee and could not have selected a better physcian. She was direct in her explanations which I appreciated, as i did not want anything to be sugar coated. I had extensive surgey in January 2020 to excise the tumor and spent 7 days in the hospital. I felt completely confident in her hands and 1 1/2 years later would not have wanted anyone else to have taken care of me. I still see her for my follow-ups and trust her judgment in all things dealing my care.

Extremely rude. Misread a pathology report and told me I did not have cancer when in reality it said it was inconclusive - I ended up HAVING CANCER. Then proceeded to rush me out of her office after wildly prescribing an antibiotic.

If you have sudden hearing loss, never visit Dr. Lee. She has no experience on how to treat it. Sudden hearing loss is treatable, without proper treatment on time, you may lose hearing permanently. When I visited him,she spent a few minutes with me and asked me to get a hearing aid, that is all.

Dr Lee was extremely helpful in my case. I had a challenging tumor with complicated choices for its care. Dr. Lee clearly explained my condition and all my choices, and helped me understand the benefits and risks of my treatment options.

Rude and dismissive. Bad experience. I mentioned my symptoms and previous diagnosis. She performed an examination and asked me if I had an infection. The purpose of the visit was to determine that. She told me nothing was wrong with me. That's great news. However, my symptoms worsened over the next day or so. A CVS minute clinic diagnosed a sinus infection. The underlying chronic condition still exists. I don't recommend.

Terrible bedside manner. If there was a way to rank lower I would. No compassion for serious illness. Arrogance and bad attitude prevented proper treatment. I sat waiting for 50 minutes for her after being placed in assessment room. She did not apologize for being late or explain reason for the delay. Instead she walked in with terrible attitude making the remaking appointment worse. I requested to NEVER to see her again. Would perfer to see nurse practitioner or office administrator.
