I've seen Dr. Lee a few times over the last five years. I was impressed the first times I met him, but even more so today. I am suffering from sudden onset exhaustion, which I do not feel has anything to do with sleep apnea, although my GP disagrees so has referred me for another sleep study. Dr. Lee did not jump to that conclusion, but rather, listened to me thoroughly, questioned me appropriately and concluded that I need to see an infectious diseases specialist. I felt both heard and validated by him. I could not possibly recommend him more highly. Just make sure you put some extra time on the parking meter. Dr. Lee puts his patients' needs above his schedule, which makes him run late, but it is a small price to pay to be treated by one of the best doctors I've ever had the privilege of seeing.

Dr. Lee has been helping me manage my sleep-related issues for over 10 years. He listens and gathers information well, is both kind and analytic, and incorporates the latest research in his clinical practice. I have never felt rushed during an appointment. Dr. Lee has helped me handle sensitive issues without any awkwardness. Somehow, through a simple suggestion, he helped me make an important change to my lifestyle a few years ago that has had a very positive impact on my health. Dr. Lee is an exceptional clinician and I feel very fortunate to have received his care.

I have had two appointments (initial and follow-up) and one overnight sleep study at Dr. Lee's sleep clinic. His willingness and ability to clearly explain the sleep study results and treatment options reduced my anxiety about my medical situation. I greatly appreciated how he answered my questions, and I felt that my concerns were heard and considered throughout the discussion. His staff at the sleep clinic showed the same professionalism and care as they explained the equipment and how it would monitor various aspects of sleep. In addition, Dr. Lee matched me with a company that prioritizes educating patients in the use of treatment equipment, an excellent fit for what I need. I feel that this aspect of my health is in good hands and recommend him to friends and family.

I have been seeing Dr. Lee for about 4 years now. In that time, and for a few more years previously, I have been trying to learn how to manage depression and anxiety, as well as my severe sleep apnea. I have seen many doctors over the last almost 10 years seeking help and treatment for these conditions. Dr. Lee is the first, and so far the only, who has convinced me that he actually truly cares about me as a person. I am convinced that Dr. Lee isn’t treating my condition, he is treating me the person, who has the condition. He is professional, friendly, kind, and clearly an expert of the highest caliber in his field. Most important, he understands how to listen, and always makes the time to do so. My experience with the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre and its Sleep Lab are easily the most positive experience I’ve had as a medical patient anywhere. My appreciation knows no bounds. Whoever you may be, you are in very good hands If you are in his care.

I have been seeing Dr. Lee for seven years, and in that time, I have found him to be very caring and attentive. He does not condescend to patients and is always ready to answer questions, listen to concerns, and discuss options. He gives me the sense that he is not only treating me, but actively and sympathetically working with me to manage my condition.

My son sees him and I am always at the appts. He is caring, knowledgeable, approachable and open to suggestion. He diagnosed conditions that had stymied other doctors for 11 years. Very good with follow up. Excellent doctor!!

For a Doctor who specializes in anxiety, Dr. Lee seems a little nervous and unsure of himself. He seems to have little interest for patient input regarding treatment and is more inclined to dictate what he feels is best. The use of coercion and subtle intimidation can make a patient feel trapped. What he says and what he writes in his reports may differ and could indicate an effort to "cover bases". His manner is best suited to those that are receptive to blindly follow his direction. So for those who wish to understand their condition and be part of the treatment process, perhaps it would be best to see another Doctor.

He was late but attentive during my session - which is probably why is runs late - he cares. He might have solved a pulminary embolism problem I had this winter, which no other specialist has been able to figure out. Apnea and a short supply of oxygen to my lungs. I might still need psych help but I think he's a good person to have on my team.
