Byung 'BJ' Lee, MD

Patients appreciate

Dr. Byung Lee receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews highlighting his professionalism, thoroughness, and strong communication skills. Patients consistently praise how he takes time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures in clear, easy-to-understand terms, often using x-rays or visual aids to help them fully grasp their condition. Many reviewers describe him as attentive, caring, and a good listener who makes them feel comfortable and involved in their own care decisions. His clinical expertise is frequently noted, particularly for hand, wrist, and shoulder issues, with several patients crediting him with successful surgeries, injections, and long-term management of chronic conditions. Reviewers also commend his supportive office staff, efficient scheduling, and a calm, confident demeanor—sometimes paired with humor—that eases patient anxiety during procedures like injections.

Patients also share

A small number of reviews point to areas where the experience could improve. A few patients felt their visits were rushed, describing appointments as very quick (e.g., "in and out in 10 min") or noting that Dr. Lee seemed to be in a hurry and didn't spend enough time with them. One review specifically felt he lacked empathy and did not seem to know the patient's name, feeling like a mismatch in provider fit. Another patient felt their discomfort wasn't adequately addressed until they specifically requested a procedure for relief, though they appreciated his diagnostic thoroughness. Separately, one reviewer mentioned a lengthy 45-minute wait after being taken back for their appointment, despite otherwise positive experiences with punctuality on other visits.
