I have seen Dr. Lee on a number of occasions relating to reconstruction on my face after surgery due to skin cancer. He is professional in his approach and is candid with his opinions even if it means he is recommending he do nothing.

Dr. Lee is not only a technically skilled surgeon, he is absolutely trust worthy. I have been seeing him for years, he cares for his patients personally, wanting them above all to be happy. I can not recommend him more. Disappointed in the negative posts asking him to commit medical malpractice by diagnosing a condition over the phone, crazy! Love him.

I've been going to doctor Lee for years. There's not enough space in this review box to write about how amazing him and his staff are.

I asked about the price over the phone, they would not give out any information. They asked me to schedule a consultation; so I did. I live really far from Chicago, so I drove there and I spoke to him for 2 mins, I was charged over $300... that's insane!!!! And the surgery cost was way too high... Crazy!!! And I asked him if it's fixed price, he said yes. Then god! He could've just told me over the phone; but I guess that's how they make money!

Dr. Lee was highly recommended to me, and I now know why. Having plastic surgery (breast implants) was a big, thought-out decision for me, and Dr. Lee immediately made me feel comfortable from my very first appointment. I knew I could trust him from the start and didn't even consider other doctors after that. He answered all of my questions and informed me with everything I needed to know to make the best, educated decision for myself. The surgery was an incredibly smooth process, and I did not need a single pain pill (coming from someone who has a low pain tolerance). Recovery and healing was quick and easy. Each time I visited Dr. Lee for post-op appointments, he clearly cared about how I was doing and feeling. I am beyond happy with the results of my surgery. From Dr. Lee's overall personality to his precise work during surgery, I could not have asked for a better 1st plastic surgery experience. I have only positive things to say about Dr. Lee and 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone!

I learned about Dr Lee from a few trusted friends and subsequently had a procedure done in his office. I can't say enough good things about Dr Lee and his wonderful staff. Every step of the procedure was explained to me in meticulous detail by Dr Lee and all my questions were addressed honestly so my expectations were very clear about the entire process. What sets Dr Lee apart from others is that he is not only knowledgeable with great experience in his field but ultra skilled in delivering amazing results! I'm so happy I went to Dr Lee and I have already recommend him to friends looking for an outstanding plastic surgeon.
