    Pains me to write this review because I was excited to be seen by someone with great reviews after moving to the area and having bad experiences with MedStar affiliated doctors. I spent a year trying to get a provider after my original choice moved practices. A week researching led me to Dr. Gomez and Dr. Lee. Dr. Gomez’s next appt was months out so I scheduled a visit with her. In the interim, I had multiple costly (and unhelpful visits to urgent care/ER) and couldn’t wait months to be seen. Dr. Lee was identified as a provider who was not only was taking new patients, but the online scheduling tool showed she had several times available for visits. I was able to book the appt, received online confirmations, and was sent the link to pre-register and did so. When I got to my appt (after spending the weekend convincing myself to tough it out and not waste time and resources on another urgent care visit), I was rudely turned away. After waiting to check in, the woman at the desk asked me my name. After repeating twice, I heard whispers that she wasn’t even there and had called that she wasn’t going to see “that patient”. The woman (who barely could even look up for her seated position at the desk) abruptly said, “Yeah, we left you a message. You already have an appt with Dr. Gomez and Dr. Lee isn’t taking new patients. Ok, sorry… bye”. Confused by this cold interaction, I asked why it is posted that she IS taking new patients and had me register and confirm. She turned around and just shrugged and said “it’s a glitch I guess” and turned to start speaking with the next patient. No trying to assist me in getting care. No apologies. Simply the most unprofessional interaction I’ve ever seen with a medical staff. This is exactly why the cost of health care is astronomical and people go without proper care after paying thousands into insurance. Perhaps Dr. Lee is a great doctor but needs a more compassionate support team who professionally communicates and is committed to caring for those with health concerns. Or perhaps I am just accustomed to a higher level of professionalism and commitment to caring for patients.

    I'll echo every positive comment listed. She is an Angel! Yes, she actually listens to you. She take the time to explain any questions you have. She is caring, concerned, and truly interested in your opinion. As far as I'm concerned she is the best doctor around. - Lee Duer

    Dr.Lee makes you feel like you are the only one in the office that day. She takes the time to listen and wants to know what you think about it. She is one of the most thoughtful Drs. I think I have ever been to.

    I've been a patient of Dr. Lee for years until moving to another state a few months ago. She is the best doctor in the county as far as I'm concerned. I am very picky and feel that when I go to a doctor he or she should give their undivided attention and have a good bedside manner. Dr. Lee was all this and more. She has a genuine, caring, concern for her patients and will go out of her way to take care of the problem. I wish there were more like her.

    Dr. Lee has been a great doctor. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian sydrome) which I found most doctors I've seen don't know much about it. She was very aware of it and it was refreshing not to have to explain what I experience to her. She already knew. She seemed very caring and listened to me. She recommended doctors based on my concerns. She did not rush me through the visit. She seems to be a genuine person who cares for her patients and that to me makes here a good doctor.
