Nice professional doctor who provided an honest view of what the skin condition on my calf might be, knowing that it is not definitive for now. He’s recommending two different lotions to try over the next four weeks. .

This may have been an off day for Dr Lee, but his attitude was short, rude, and was quick to dismiss my concerns. He seems knowledgeable but I didn’t feel as if he was listening to my explanation of symptoms. I’d like to give him the benefit of doubt, but based this video visit I would recommend he work on his patient bedside manner.

This rating is for all of the doctors and nurses who treated me for an abscess and the subsequent follow-up appointments. Everyone has been really thorough, thoughtful and helpful. As much pain as I know I will be in, I at least trust that I will have a sincere and jovial staff to help me through it all. Thanks for the care!!

I felt really terrible. He asked questions to rule out other conditions, but didn’t offer much to help me feel better. After I left I wondered when I should try to eat and what I could do for the pain in my neck and behind my eyes. He could have been more attentive to my symptoms.

Seen promptly by physician, received chest x ray and rx. for cough medicine …. Dr Lee was very thorough and said he would contact me when resuts came in….. which he did early the following morning. I am very pleased with the care and follow-up received !

March 26, 2025
He was very good and quickly put me at ease. The only reason I didn't give him 5 stars was that he was a little too quick with the diagnosis. He explained it well and I understood what is going on and I agree with the diagnosis. It would have been a little better if he took a little more time letting me express my concerns and examining my issue.

Direct and made sure my questions were answered. That was good. Bedside manner was that of an unfriendly rock which is not what one hopes in urgent care. “Care” implies some warmth or kindness and as scared as I was about falling on my head, at my age, and with my medical history. Well, a little could go a long way. BUT he was a good MD and made clear sense and I left assured that I was ok.

For a emergency telahealth appointment the doctor was available within 20 minutes, very prompt. I was happy, he answered my questions. I was reaching out for consultation for a spider bite, and did not want a emergency room if it wasn't needed. After speaking with Doctor I felt better. After a that appointment the next day the area where I was bit started to get better.
