Dr. Lee was fortunate to have a wonderful dentist as a child, Dr. George Schuette in East Point, GA. He provided Dr. Lee with many great experiences and eventually encouraged him to pursue a career in dentistry. Medical sciences were his favorite classes growing up, and he has always loved working with his hands, so it seemed like a perfect fit! He also liked that dentistry would enable him to take great care of his patients while also allowing for plenty of time with his family, which cant be said for all professions!
Dr. Lee graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Georgia before earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia. Despite nearly four decades of experience, he completes over 100 hours of continuing education each year. He is a graduate of the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education, the L.D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education, the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Education, and Baylor Universitys Continuum of Contemporary Esthetic Diagnosis and Treatment.
