I am so thankful that Dr. Lee has helped my mom for recover from stomach cancer by referring her to Monoclonal antibody treatment. My mom is 92 years old now, she has been found 10-centimeter stomach cancer last year. De Lee found her cancer was full of H pylori infection, he said his classmate at national university has been well renown on colleagues who had worked with US company treating H pylori reduced stomach cancer. My mom flew to Taiwan and had received the Monoclonal antibody treatment, amazingly the cancer shrank in three section therapy from 10-cencitmeter to 0.5-centimeter. She was treated with endoscopic way and had the cancer removed. My mom is celebrating her 92 years old birthday.                                                          –Marlene L. (Yelp)

I have had serious GI issues since I was in college and no GI specialists at the major city in the Midwest was able to give me relief.  I just suffered for decades.
When my job transferred me to SoCal, I found Dr.Lee over 20 yrs ago - and have felt VERY blessed ever since!
Not only has this very brilliant man used his cutting-edge knowledge and techniques to help me better navigate back to health, he has given me the optimism that despite my upper and lower GI issues, much can be done to continue to improve my quality of life AND to live a long life.  Yay!!!
For those that say he has a busy office, I say yes, it is BECAUSE he is a very good MD.  
I even convinced my conservative husband to switch to Dr.Lee and he couldn't be happier!
We both have had many years of successful GI procedures by Dr.Lee and I can HONESTLY say that we do not dread our colonoscopies nor upper GI's by Dr.Lee.
He makes it comfortable and the results are RELIABLE.
We TRUST DR.Lee w/our lives and reco him to all!
THANK YOU DR.Lee and staff!   You are WONDERFUL!                    –KatAnn T. (Yelp)

Dr. Lee was my initial gastroenterologist. I found him to be competent and compassionate. I would agree with other posts that he can be difficult to understand and his office is quite busy. I switched to another gastroenterologist mainly because he ordered a specific test and when I arrived at the office, it was not ready yet. After further research on my own, I got a second opinion from another top gastroenterologist who advised me the test is not needed. I would still highly recommend Dr. Lee as he showed great compassion when I was in extreme pain and advised me to go to the ER immediately if the condition got worse.                                        --Opie D.
