Worst doctors I’ve ever met. He has terrible bedside manners, terrible personality, and not understanding at all. I’ve had Crohn’s for years and I’d rather suffer before I’d allow him to take care of me.

Dr Lee has treated my husband with severe Crohns disease for the past 7 years. He's an easy going, very knowledgeable Dr who has compassion for his patients. We drive from eastern WA to see him. Office staff are helpful and courteous.

The review below hit the nail on the head. I am a challenging case. I like Dr. Lee and he is extremely smart but none of that makes a difference for me when he sits on the sidelines rather than getting involved in my care.

I have found Dr. Lee's staff, nurses Corey and Scott to be extremely helpful. Dr. Lee himself is also extremely helpful when you get to talk to him face to face. No, he's never punctual for appointments. I have waited an hour every time I've seen him. I made a request for Dr. Lee to contact my pain specialist to discuss current complications I am experiencing two and a half months ago. After multiple phone calls back and forth to his nursing staff, I have determined that Dr. Lee has no care or concern for me as a human being. I am in excruciating pain and all I need from him is to pick up the phone and connect with my pain doc so that I can get adequate medication to help me through a rough spot (adhesion)and he can't be bothered to make the call. This doctor may be cutting edge and on top of most recent technology, but if you can't get in to see him, can't get scheduled for procedures and he could care less about you as a person, what's the value in his knowledge?

I started with Dr. Lee in crisis mode and was scared about the future. Dr. Lee spent a while explaining treatment, but it felt somewhat patronizing. somewhat arrogant. I have waited for over 1 hour a few times. Nurse Corey said that this might not be the best clinic for me b/c they were busy with over 2000 patients and often delay returning phone calls, hard to get seen. I faxed a page to them listing ongoing symptoms, am I in a flare while on Humira and some relevant background information only to be scolded never to do that again, and then was given conflicting and confusing information about my symptoms and was told I was making it harder than it had to be. I showed the fax to another specialist and she couldn't believe that Dr. Lee had read my fax. Do the nurses just call back and use their hunches (limited knowledge) save the almighty Dr. from dealing with pesky phone calls. If they are so busy why don't they hire more nurses. why do scopes on non IBD patients?

I wish I could rate specific staff on here. Keep in mind if you do end up working with Dr. Lee for your care, he has some wonderful nurses and assistants and one downright terrible one. Dr. Lee himself is an amazing doctor and I've gotten wonderful treatment so far by him, so it's a huge plus. The amazing downfall he has is in Cory Cullinan. She is terrible. So bad that I've even ended up in the ER because she's dragged her feet, or gets spacey and forgets, I have no idea what her problem is. She's failed to call me back like she's promised to do, sometimes doing it DAYS later. Not just the next day, I'm talking several days. One instance I left SEVEN messages simply asking for the time of an appointment and she didn't call back until I left a long message at the desk directly asking a different nurse to call me and he did. In less than ten minutes. And after an entire day of supposedly "never seeing him" (according to Corey) somehow the other nurse just walked up (cont in next review)

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Very busy and initially hard to get an appointment but at my 1st visit spent well over 60 min of a 45 min appointement. In addition after his visit his staff spent another 20-30 min arranging my tests and discussing my condition. His staff were amazing. The only complaint is how busy his clinic is which is understandable. He gave me more info than any of the other MDs I had previously visited. If you have IBD this clinic is the one you need to at least be seen once in.

This MD told me that "crohns disease"is what he is looking for. I wonder how many of his patients didnt have it and he treated them with all kinds of meds, and some very expensive. Crohns is all he is looking for. Find someone who will spend the time to find out what is really wrong. And I agree his nurse Cory should be fired!!
