Dr Lee listen to my symptoms, ran thru several tests then provided several options. He is good at explaining the problem and options, next steps and answering any questions

I was very disappointed with this visit. Although the practitioner diagnosed me with tennis elbow, they provided absolutely no guidance on what to do next. There was no explanation regarding a treatment plan or how to perform rehabilitation. Simply telling me 'try not to use my arm as much' was completely unhelpful for my daily life and work. I'm not sure what I should do now to improve the situation.

Dr. Nicholas Lee is excellent. He provides explanations that you can understand. He has been treating me for a very complicated elbow injury. I would recommend him to others in a heartbeat. The residents he has are also really good.

Dr Lee had always been attentive to my issues and needs. He does a great job explaining what is going on with my hands and wrists and is always looking for a favorable treatment or solution for my condition.

Again, Dr. Lee and his associate, Mr. Lau LAU I believe, and the x-ray technician and the woman that check me in initially were all absolutely professional at the top of their game in every manner such a difference from my previous provider, although they were very good your your employees are in the highest highest league in my opinion
Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
