Christopher Lee, MD

Dr. Christopher Lee is a great doctor and very professional. He has great bedside manner and personally calls you with your results. I would recommend him to everyone.

Ive had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Lee and I can confidently say that he is the epitome of excellence in gastroenterology. Dr Lee took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, never rushing through appointments and always ensuring that I felt heard and understood. His expertise in the field is unmatched, as he thoroughly explained my condition and treatment options in a clear and concise manner. What truly sets Dr. Lee apart is his genuine compassion and empathy towards his patients. He goes above and beyond to provide support and reassurance, making a potentially daunting experience feel manageable and even comforting. Thanks to Dr.Lee exceptional care, I feel confident in my health journey moving forward. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and overall outstanding gastroenterologist. Ps his office staff is so kind and passionate too.

Dr. Lee is by far the best doctor I have interacted with. He genuinely cares for his patients. I've been struggling with medical problems for some time now and had lost hope after seeing a few other GI's prior, but once I met with Dr. Lee, I knew he would make it his mission to help me through this difficult time. His bedside manner and his attention to his patients is exceptional. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly so that I can understand the situation better and get my questions answered. I am so appreciative to have come across a Dr. like him and highly recommend him!

Dr Lee is your quintessential doctor's doctor. His profound knowledge, understanding and expertise in the GI system has doctors calling for his advice and recommendations. He makes an internal system doctor a must for patients with problems in that area. He calls at nights and weekends to let you know the outcome of his tests and reviews and remedial plans. In this current environment, who does that? He also has a knowledgeable and a wonderful staff. I am comfortable to put my life into his hands. I would, without hesitation, refer Dr Lee to my family, relatives and friends. Thank you Dr Lee

Very attentive with quality support Dr. Lee is the most attentive doctor I have ever had an experience with. Twice I called his office for an appointment following a colonoscopy. Once he called me back within minutes, the other time he got on the line during the call. Each time he listened and prescribed simple treatment on the spot, saving me the time and money of an office visit. When I have been in the office to see him, he was knowledgeable, direct and personable.

I had seen 5 gastros before Dr. Lee. All said the same thing…that I had IBS and to see them in 6 months. Dr. Lee went above and beyond and found the cause of my chronic diarrhea. He’s a great diagnostician!

Admittedly I was afraid upon reading the 1 star reviews about Dr. Lee prior to making an appointment with his office for for my first colonoscopy. Understanding everyone--doctors included--have differing opinions on everything, I called Dr Lee's office to schedule the consultation. Front office staff/receptionist extremely nice...not once was anyone ever rude to me. Marissa (De Lee's RN @ the time of this writing) is very sweet personable. I've dealt with many doctors in my life so I'm used to dealing with the arrogance that sometimes comes with it...and yes, Dr Lee is straight forward, but that's my personality too, so we mesh well together from a patient/doctor perspective. Dr. Lee is very down to earth and accommodating which I appreciate. Based on my interactions with him, I can tell he likes to have fun and is funny,...again my personality too, but, we're in a business setting and that takes precedence as it should. I read somewhere that Dr Lee's care is "very expensive." LOL! Newport Beach/Hoag Hospital nothing cheap about those four words. I only wish everyone could have access to such great, world renowned healthcare. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff for the great and even greater care following up to calm my nerves. Much appreciated!

I turn 55 this month and due to extreme fear and anxiety, I've put off the very important health screening called....the colonoscopy. I take care of my health and other yearly screenings, but this one has scared me so much due to having to be put into a twilight sleep. Which is the BEST btw...lol... My husband has had a few colonoscopies and was referred to Dr. Christopher Lee. He scheduled an appointment and Dr. Lee told him this will be the best prep he's ever had. According to my husband, Dr. Lee was not lying. lol.... Fast forward, it was the best prep & colonoscopy my husband has ever had. My husband kept encouraging me to schedule my appointment. After a few months, I finally did. First, I had my virtual consult with Dr. Lee. He explained everything to me and went over my health history etc. Dr. Lee is Very nice and so funny! I immediately felt at ease and trusted him. My appointment was booked and via email I received the colo prep packet that is full of step by step information. Dr. Lee's prep is seriously NOT bad at all! I've heard horrible stories about how awful prep is and how awful colonoscopies are, which was another part of why I have avoided scheduling my appointment. The entire staff at Dr Lee's office is so nice and supportive. I called them A LOT with various questions during the week leading up to my appointment, during prep, & up until the morning of, when I noticed something, (I will not go into details..lol) I called the on call dr, who happened to be Dr. Lee, he called me back right away, and said what I was experiencing was okay and normal. When I arrived at the office, in full panic attack mode, the front desk staff, was nice and welcoming. The woman who took my paperwork and admitted me was so nice and comforting. I cried a bit due to fear...lol and she was so understanding and nice. Terri, the RN who prepped me for my procedure was INCREDIBLE and so nice. I always have to bring in a month's worth of Blood Pressure readings from home, because I get white coat syndrome at any Dr visit. (And now, I actually have high blood pressure) I gave her my readings and she attached them to my chart. We spoke about everything unrelated to my procedure and she answered all of my questions regarding my procedure and took great care of me under my panic. Thank You Terri! :) Olivia, came and got me and wheeled me into the room for the procedure. Panic and tears started and she couldn't have been nicer and comforting. Truly amazing as well. Thank You Olivia! :) Dr. Lee's assistant came in and introduced himself to me and then Dr. Lee came in and went over everything in my chart. Again, he was so nice and funny. Had I not been in such a panic, I would've laughed harder at his jokes. Olivia and Dr. Lee explained the drugs I was going to be given to feel good and relaxed and said procedure would be about a half hour or less. They asked if I was ready and I said yep! I felt my body get very relaxed and LITERALLY felt like I had just closed my eyes, when Dr Lee was showing me the pics on the monitor of my colon & 2 pre cancerous polyps that he removed and explained to me some more things that I don't remember, lol. He said he and a nurse would be calling me the next day after procedure to go over all of this again. I was given a juice which tasted SO GOOD afterwards. lol. The post procedure RN came to get me and wheeled me into recovery and gave me more juice. :). THANK YOU Dr. Lee and your team that took such good care of me and treated me with kindness and understanding from the very start to the very end. I'm so grateful my husband and I have you as our Dr. for all of our gastro needs. :). HIGHLY Recommend....GO GET YOUR Colonoscopy from Dr. Lee. ....You will be relieved you did....Early detection is key! :).
