Gary Lee, MD's Online Review Report Card

I have very fair skin and have been in the sun a lot, so I have seen a lot of dermatologist in my days. I can say that Dr Lee is the doc I will be going back to. He is very thorough and spotted the things I had planned to tell him about before I could point them out. He is an excellent surgeon (mohs) and has good bedside manner. His nurses and office staff are exceptional as well. I've already referred three friends to him this year.

They made an appt with me . However, when I came to the office at 8am, it was closed. Bad management. After laser treatment, they forgot apply sunscreen on my face . It was ridiculous.

I was referred to Dr. Lee by my primary physician. The star rating on this review is not for Dr. Lee, he was actually very kind and answered all my questions and I cannot thank him enough for his patience. The reason for the two stars is due to the treatment I received from his back office assistant Brittany. All other staff was very polite and professional however not Brittany. She made me feel very uncomfortable. Although I had the funds to begin cosmetic treatment I didn't because of how uncomfortable she made me feel. She seemed bothered to be doing her job. When she asked for the purpose of my visit she left me talking as she walked out of the room mid explanation. On my way out she didn't even let me ask about the next steps she just cut me off and told me to go to the front. I went up to the front and luckily Joanna was super kind and helped me with all my questions one of which she had to go back and ask Brittany about. I work in healthcare myself and it's very upsetting to see when other healthcare professionals treat patients like this. Not everyone is cut out for the job, it's more than the technical and hands on part of the job, you have to actually care about the patients as well, it's not "just a job" when it comes to health care. Horrible. God bless you Brittany I hope no one treats you like you treated me today. Due to this I may not return to this office even though Dr. Lee was very nice I don't feel comfortable with an employee like that in the room.

I have had several Mohs surgeries done on my face and on my back by doctor Gary Lee.. I was worried that the surgeries would leave my face with unsightly scars. Doctor Lee has excellent surgical skills and I am very pleased with the results. I need to give one special shout to him as I got an emergency appointment at 8:00 am on the same day doctor lee was supposed to go on a vacation . I recommend Doctor Lee very highly !

My son and I been going to Dr. Lee for many years. He give honest advice and he won't tell you to do procedure that is not necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Lee if you are looking for a real dermatologist for your skin problem.

I was sent to Dr. Lee by urgent care due to a change in my insurance and could no longer go to my usual Dermatologist, who I loved. I have had severe eczema my whole life, going through cream after cream to try and subdue a disease that only has management options. I have always known it's going to be something I live with for the rest of my life but creams haven't been working for me. My mom also has eczema and is still able to go to my previous dermatologist who recommended an injectable, that was recently released, to manage the itching/pain and it has changed her life for the better. Knowing that the disease is genetic and this was such an amazing fix for her, I was going in to the appt knowing I was going to ask to be considered for the injectable. From the very beginning Dr. Lee dismissed me. Said my skin "wasn't that bad" when I have to take Benadryl nightly just to take the itch away to be able to sleep. As if he knew the pain that I was feeling daily. He then continues to tell me to take better care of my skin thinking that I already didn't. I've had to deal with this my whole life, this isn't new to where I don't know how to try and manage the pain. I felt completely defeated and he made me feel as if I had wasted his time for my skin "not being that bad". I would upload photos.. but the post would probably be taken down... I am now going back to my favorite dermatologist but having to pay out of pocket, but it's worth it to be taken care of. Avoid this office if you can.

If there is a lower star rating, Dr. Lee deserves it. I had the same dermatologist for 25 years but my primary physician changed to HMO and I was referred to Dr. Gary Lee. Dr. Lee is complete fraudster. I am reporting him to the AMA. He should not be allowed to practice medicine. I should have read all the reviews before I went. Obviously his bedside manner is bad, but I can deal with that. If you look at his reviews, you see how many people said he did unneeded surgeries. The first clue was when he did a biopsy on my upper leg. A small pimple had just appeared the day before and it was obviously not an issue but Dr. Lee did a biopsy and said he needed surgery. BS!! Then 2 months ago he did 7 biopsies and said there are 3 places on your back that need surgeries. Once again I was very suspicious but did the first surgery. So I went to see the dermatologist I have used for 25 years (5 stars) and he said there were no surgeries needed. Maybe some scraping but nothing else. Do not trust this crook.

A total crook. Only cares about money and will always do surgery when not needed. Completely avoid.

I recommend Dr Lee's office for the reason that i believe Dr Lee took care of my issues in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable. Assistances well trained and knowledgeable. I will be back.

They cancelled my appoimtment for the treament last december because Dr Lee was on vacation. This year, they said they won't accept my insurance plan anymore. Why did I visit his office last december for initial check up? They didn't let me know they will change the insurance company this year. I have to visit another clinic for initial evaluation again and I have to pay for the copayment for initial evaluation twice.

I saw Dr. Lee in the beginning of the summer after I had gone on vacation and had petechiae all over my body and face due to being in the sun. I was really concerned about the rash and decided to go see a dermatologist about it since the urgent care doctors told me to see a specialist about it. Dr. Lee was initially very nice. I voiced my concerns about the rash on my face and all he said was he could get ride of the acne I had on my face. I didn't care about the acne when I went to see him, I did not even voice that as a concern. I was worried about the rash taking over my body. When I tried to ask him about the rash he said oh that will go away soon, and just prescribed me some acne meds to make me go away. I insisted that I though the rash could be a symptom of something else since the sun made me feel fatigued and weak and I told him of my other symptoms. He dismissed everything I said and only cared about the 3 pimples I had on my chin. I left dismayed, feeling unheard and dismissed. Fast forward a couple months later- a team of doctors formally diagnosed me with lupus. The other doctors could not believe that Dr. Lee missed this, since the rash I presented was an obvious symptom of lupus. I suffered for months with the rash and other symptoms because Dr. Lee dismissed my concerns. If he would have diagnosed me earlier, or at least referred that I went to see another doctor about it, it would have saved me from permanent damage to my body. If you have a legitimate skin concern, I don't recommend seeing Dr. Lee. It seems all he cares about is acne and doesn't have basic knowledge of obvious signs of common diseases.

Patient and thorough doctor. I took my dad to see Dr. Lee for a second opinion because the first review by a Dermatology Medical Group recommended my dad laser treatment without trying to figure out the reason for the skin issue. Anyways, my dad went to see Dr. Lee to see how he can prevent the skin issue he was experiencing to avoid future onsets and to find methods to relieve the current episode. Dr. Lee was extremely patient in listening to my father's concern (which could be repetitious at times) and also explained how he was to use the oil (prescribed by the first Dermatology Medical Group but no detailed instructions were given except for "apply twice a day"). Dr. Lee also requested lab results from the first Dermatology Medical Group (who never followed up with my dad on the results) to see if there were any underlying causes. We are just grateful to have found Dr. Lee because it is evident that he is concerned about skin issues and not about the money making part of dermatology/cosmetic changes.

OMG, Dr. Lee is exceptionally enjoyable for me as a patient to visit! When my family doctor referred him to take care my skin issues, I was a little skeptical due to some very harsh reviews I read, this is a good lesson to learn not to trust open forums resource without solid proof. Dr. Lee is highly knowledgeable and professional, he listened to my concerns with patient, took care my skin problems skillfully without any discomfort to me. He will be my dermatologist from now on and Ill be happy to refer him to my friends and family members without hesitation.

Dr Gary Lee is not the doctor you need to have for any procedure, his personality is terrible and he doesn’t seem to care what I had to say in his office,my procedure by Doctor Gary Lee was a nightmare. I warn anyone not to see or go to Dr lee’s office..!!
