I had seen Dr. Lee for about 34 years. I have had chronic stomach/back pain that was directly associated with food. He had good bedside manner so I continued to consult with him even when my problems never went away.It was not until 2021 where my pain intensified and got worse that I reached breaking point and saw another GI. I had seen other specialists to try and pin down the problem as it seemed to be my whole upper and lower GI tract. I kept in touch with Dr. Lee and told him of different symptoms. Like he did in the past, after a clear endoscopy, he told me to try changing diet and take Pepsin. I knew this was not the solution. I had changed my diet: multiple times. At the time I did not know what worked and what did not because healthy foods like apples seemed to make me more sick whereas others did not. I knew nothing about SIBO then so did not even think to mention specific foods but told him I cut out high fat foods. This never got rid of the pain. I eventually developed bone pain so after the last correspondence I decided to seek another doctor.So thankful I did. Dr. Lee told me, in so many words, it was just a diet/acid issue, it turned out I had been suffering from SIBO for years. Dr. Lee never once told me to seek another doctor. I did not fit the box he knew but instead of referring me elsewhere or suggesting more testing, I got basic advice I had already done. Dr. Basseri is a stomach pain specialist and immediately ordered a SIBO test for me which came back positive. I say this so people know to A) always advocate for yourself and B) do not let doctors think you are crazy. Dr. Lee was always nice and I am sure in his box is a good doctor if you present normal symptoms. However, a couple years ago, I told him I felt like I was dying the pain was so bad. And no, I was not being dramatic. SIBO can wreak havoc on your body and immune system but he just responded We are all dying. Thanks Captain Obvious. He probably does not even remember that encounter but I always did. I stayed with him because I did start to feel crazy after that and did not want to the that woman where I was overly dramatic for no reason. Turns out I should have walked years ago. After my SIBO diagnosis, I sent an email to him that asked him in the future to think more creatively/out of the box for future patients. I was not mean nor did I swear at him. Just asked him to do better when people present differently. I got kicked off the patient platform by him after that which I am not surprised nor do I particularly care. I will never see him again.

I have never written a bad review in my life but I cannot help writing this one.  I have never had a Dr speak to me the way Dr Lee does. He has brought tears to my eyes twice.  His bedside manner is beyond horrible.  I hate confrontation and was nothing but nice to him every time.  He speaks down to you, makes rude comments that are extremely unprofessional and makes you feel like an idiot on top of it.  Once he makes a diagnosis he sticks to it even though the problem hasnt been resolved. Nobody should make you feel this way, especially a Dr you are paying to feel better.  So do yourself a favor and go somewhere else

Dr Lee was professional and personable. I have and will continue to recommend him. His staff is absolutely amazing.

Dr. Christopher Evans Lee is a knowledgeable, experienced and respectful specialized physician. Unfortunately, I was admitted into the ER for complications and he was the gastroenterologist on staff at hospital in Irvine. He’s an excellent, intelligent, good bedside manner and caring physician. I also had follow-up visits at his office on Superior Avenue in Newport Beach. His staff are kind, caring and respectful.

Thank you Dr. Lee for your team and the personal and professional service you offer. You are to be commended for your personal approach to your practice. At each and every step I felt welcomed and was treated with the utmost respect. THANKS for taking care of us.

Very professional and knowledgeable doctor! I will recommend him to everyone!!!

I had a baby ten months ago and have felt like I'm falling apart. I have been to 6 different doctors, including a gastroenterologist, for the same unresolved issue. The previous GI sent me on a wild goose chase and told me to keep taking a medication despite my having no improvement after several weeks. My OB GYN threw a Hail Mary my way with her suggestion that I call Dr. Lee for a second opinion. I owe her one; I couldn't have had a better experience. Dr. Lee was kind, compassionate, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He listened to my symptoms, asked the right questions, and uncovered a very simple diagnosis that had been missed by several different doctors. He also was very relatable and, quite frankly, I enjoy him as a human being. I hope to never need to see him again but if I have any GI issues he's my guy!
