Dr Lee is the absolute best. He is an amazing and skilled surgeon with a fantastic bedside manner.
Dr. Lee is excellent which is probably why it takes months to see him.
Dr. Lee has taken care of my problems for the last 14 years. I trust him completely and appreciate his kindness and care in explaining things to me.
Excellent experience. I wasn't afraid to discuss any of my concerns with Dr. Lee and his team.
Explained everything in a way I understood and listened to my concerns and gave me ample opportunity to ask questions.
Dr Max Lee is an amazing Dr.
Very personable. Felt included and not "talked at".
Dr Max Lee is an excellent surgeon and very personable. I was actually sad that this was our last appointment.
No delays in starting the appointment today. Also, for my appointment today, the registration staff, Dr. Lee, and his support staff were all top notch and professional in their work. Thank you
I was very satisfied with my visit. Dr. Lee spent time explaining and reassuring about an upcoming surgery. He was kind, patient, and understanding, as was all the staff. He allowed plenty time for questions. Everyone was professional and caring.
The care team and Dr. Max Lee were very compassionate and very good with details of issues and courtesy was a number one
Doctor Max Lee is the best.
I find Dr. Lee to be extremely condescending and arrogant. He comes off as annoyed with your questions and in a rush to get through your appointment. As a patient experiencing quite a bit of pain, it's very discouraging. Dr. Lee might wanna lose the godlike persona and humble himself a bit considering people are looking to him for help. Despite his skill as a surgeon, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. No one should have to endure his ego in their time of need.
Dr Lee is really great
Dr. Lee listens well and really cares about finding the best outcome for me. I really appreciate his expertise. He is clearly a wonderful surgeon and is also someone who tries to find the answers for the patient.
Doctor Max Lee is an outstanding surgeon, great doctor. My best interest was always a priority to him
Everyone was very kind
Dr. Lee is beyond a caring and compassionate physician. I feel safe and secure in his care as a patient. I appreciate his approach to informing me of my treatment options.
They were all fantastic.
Dr. Lee and his team provide exceptional care. Listen attentively and ask good follow-up questions. Excellent explanation of clinical issues and options for treatment.
Awesome
Thank you to everyone @ froedert, I love you all Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to a dedicated group of lovely Americans, God Bless
