Janice S. Lee, D.D.S., M.D.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeon

Dr. Janice Lee is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who treats children and adults. Her areas of expertise include facial reconstruction, maxillofacial pathology and craniofacial anomalies. She's a member of the Craniofacial Anomalies team at UCSF Medical Center, which evaluates and treats children with congenital deformities such as hemifacial microsomia, secondary cleft deformities and other dentofacial deformities. Most of these conditions involve skeletal reconstruction problems, especially when there's a deficiency in bone.

Her research is in the area of bone marrow stem cells and the effects of age on their ability to differentiate and form bone. While training at the National Institutes of Health, she was the maxillofacial specialist for a team evaluating and treating one of the largest population of patients with McCune-Albright syndrome and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, a fibro-osseous disease that affects the normal development of bone. Lee continues to see patients with these conditions at UCSF. She is an assistant professor in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at UCSF.
