      Dr. Lee gets to the point of the visit quickly, but is very willing to listen, and advise as needed. My son really likes talking to her and appreciates that she listens and doesn't talk down to him. Dr. Lee's nurse is very caring and gentle with my son, giving him privacy for certain questions, and listening as well when he asks questions of her.

      Dr. Lee has a calming demeanor. She explains things in a way my daughter can understand. She allows my daughter to play with fidgets during the appointment which helps her open up I think. She is always willing to work with the child and parent to find out what is best for them. We are so happy to have found her for my daughter

      Dr. Lee always takes the time to listen to both me and my son. She takes the time to explain new medication as needed and answer any questions. She is amazing at connecting me with other resources I may need.

      This was our first visit with a new psychiatrist. It was a wonderful visit and I left with a positive, hopeful outlook! I felt that she listens to my concerns which was an issue with the previous psychiatrist. Im hoping this is a good change for my daughter and we will make some positive progress.
