Dr. Lee and his team are great!! They are professional and friendly, and their office is always clean and welcoming. I was a patient for many years before moving out of the area. I wish I could find a dentist like Dr. Lee in my new town.

First of all I do want to say that Dr. Lee and his staff are professional and very personable. All the nice things said are true... BUT There was an issue in my case that was not handled the way I expected it. I'm sure it was a new situation and this may not be something they are used to dealing with. It was handled poorly and it has cost me several hundred dollars. I was recommended by Dr. Lee I have molds done before anything was cleared by my insurance and sure enough the insurance company denies so I was left out of luck. I tried to get in contact more than 5 times to at least try to get a refund but I got a reply maybe twice. None with useful information, mostly the ol' run around. Horrible way to handle issues and they lack the decency to get back to me with a straight answer.

Our family has been going Dr. Patrick Lee for close to 30 years now and I would recommend him and his staff without any reservations. He is very kind, patient, and takes all the time needed with each patient. He also schedules patients allowing plenty of time so we never wait long, and is wonderful about fitting us in when there's an emergency. We also appreciate that if there is more than one option for fixing a problem, he carefully explains the options, costs, and risks, offers his recommendation, but let's us choose. And he's great with kids.

The service Dr. Lee provides is very high quality, and it is clear he cares about his patients (enough to do simple cleanings himself on occasion). The staff is very personable, and their scheduling is quite accommodating. They do have a consistently Christian playlist on the radio, which from a secular perspective may be a bit of an annoyance, but even so it does little to detract from the positive experience. I highly recommend the office.

Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. My family and I have been going to Dr. Lee for about 15 years. We appreciate his wise care for each of us. Dr. Lee was also very helpful in repairing my dad's teeth as my dad struggled with ALS at the end of his life.

I love the staff at Dr. Lee's office. Initially I picked their practice because it was close to my home, but they have earned my continued business through their caring and high-quality services. Dr. Lee is helpful and informative - he takes the time to explain procedures and treatments in a way that makes sense. Jennifer is a rock star hygienist - she's funny, personable, and energetic. I feel like I'm at home in the office, which I never thought I would say about a dental practice. Ultimately, you can't do much better than this!
