    I ASKED TO BRING MY PARTNER INTO THE ROOM FOR THE TREATMENT DISCUSSIONS AND DR LEE WAS QUITE ACCOMMODATING. MY PARTNER IS DOCTOR AND I KNEW HE COULD HELP ME WITH THE DECISIONS.

    Noone better than Dr David Lee
    Apr 24, 2025
    Dr. Lee has been treating me for over 22 years and I know that I couldn't find a better Doctor who has taken the greatest care of me than any other doctors who I have seen during all these years. I do and have trusted him with my life and treatment of my chronic pain and would recommend him to anyone else who may need his help.

    Dr Lee is the very best medical provider I have among over 15 specialists. He is very thorough in asking about remembering long term history and always asking about recent history and about any changes in my condition, medication, comfort levels and evaluating any contributing factors. He is always very compassionate and sympathetic about my pain level whether I'm having a better day or a terrible day and is always explaining what my current options are during any given appointment. He's very thorough, demonstrated complete mastery of his expertise or capability to do competent research on questions that are not in his field of specialty and he ensures that all of these items are well documented in my appointment summaries

    Dr. Lee is a great practitioner!

    Dr David Lee was excellent! He mentioned he had prepared for my Monday appt on Saturday! He knew a lot about my previous history and was able to hear any additions that were added during the appt. Dr Lee was very thorough and explained things well. He even discovered that the previous EMG test done by UCSF was Incomplete so it is being repeated. This will be key to narrowing the cause of the pain and help to move forward on pain management. We are lucky to have seen Dr Lee and are looking forward to moving forward with treatment and follow-up.
