Gary C Lee

My son and I been going to Dr. Lee for many years. He give honest advice and he won't tell you to do procedure that is not necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Lee if you are looking for a real dermatologist for your skin problem.

I was sent to Dr. Lee by urgent care due to a change in my insurance and could no longer go to my usual Dermatologist, who I loved. I have had severe eczema my whole life, going through cream after cream to try and subdue a disease that only has management options. I have always known it's going to be something I live with for the rest of my life but creams haven't been working for me.

My mom also has eczema and is still able to go to my previous dermatologist who recommended an injectable, that was recently released, to manage the itching/pain and it has changed her life for the better. Knowing that the disease is genetic and this was such an amazing fix for her, I was going in to the appt knowing I was going to ask to be considered for the injectable.

From the very beginning Dr. Lee dismissed me. Said my skin "wasn't that bad" when I have to take Benadryl nightly just to take the itch away to be able to sleep. As if he knew the pain that I was feeling daily. He then continues to tell me to take better care of my skin thinking that I already didn't. I've had to deal with this my whole life, this isn't new to where I don't know how to try and manage the pain.

I felt completely defeated and he made me feel as if I had wasted his time for my skin "not being that bad". I would upload photos. but the post would probably be taken down. I am now going back to my favorite dermatologist but having to pay out of pocket, but it's worth it to be taken care of. Avoid this office if you can.

If there is a lower star rating, Dr. Lee deserves it. I had the same dermatologist for 25 years but my primary physician changed to HMO and I was referred to Dr. Gary Lee. Dr. Lee is complete fraudster. I am reporting him to the AMA. He should not be allowed to practice medicine. I should have read all the reviews before I went. Obviously his bedside manner is bad, but I can deal with that.

If you look at his reviews, you see how many people said he did unneeded surgeries. The first clue was when he did a biopsy on my upper leg. A small pimple had just appeared the day before and it was obviously not an issue but Dr. Lee did a biopsy and said he needed surgery. BS! Then 2 months ago he did 7 biopsies and said there are 3 places on your back that need surgeries.

Once again I was very suspicious but did the first surgery. So I went to see the dermatologist I have used for 25 years (5 stars) and he said there were no surgeries needed. Maybe some scraping but nothing else. Do not trust this crook.

I recommend Dr Lee's office for the reason that i believe Dr Lee took care of my issues in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable. Assistances well trained and knowledgeable. I will be back.

I saw Dr. Lee in the beginning of the summer after I had gone on vacation and had petechiae all over my body and face due to being in the sun. I was really concerned about the rash and decided to go see a dermatologist about it since the urgent care doctors told me to see a specialist about it. Dr. Lee was initially very nice. I voiced my concerns about the rash on my face and all he said was he could get ride of the acne I had on my face.

I didn't care about the acne when I went to see him, I did not even voice that as a concern. I was worried about the rash taking over my body. When I tried to ask him about the rash he said oh that will go away soon, and just prescribed me some acne meds to make me go away. I insisted that I though the rash could be a symptom of something else since the sun made me feel fatigued and weak and I told him of my other symptoms.

He dismissed everything I said and only cared about the 3 pimples I had on my chin. I left dismayed, feeling unheard and dismissed. Fast forward a couple months later- a team of doctors formally diagnosed me with lupus. The other doctors could not believe that Dr. Lee missed this, since the rash I presented was an obvious symptom of lupus. I suffered for months with the rash and other symptoms because Dr. Lee dismissed my concerns.

If he would have diagnosed me earlier, or at least referred that I went to see another doctor about it, it would have saved me from permanent damage to my body. If you have a legitimate skin concern, I don't recommend seeing Dr. Lee. It seems all he cares about is acne and doesn't have basic knowledge of obvious signs of common diseases.

Patient and thorough doctor. I took my dad to see Dr. Lee for a second opinion because the first review by a Dermatology Medical Group recommended my dad laser treatment without trying to figure out the reason for the skin issue. Anyways, my dad went to see Dr. Lee to see how he can prevent the skin issue he was experiencing to avoid future onsets and to find methods to relieve the current episode. Dr. Lee was extremely patient in listening to my father's concern (which could be repetitious at times) and also explained how he was to use the oil (prescribed by the first Dermatology Medical Group but no detailed instructions were given except for "apply twice a day"). Dr. Lee also requested lab results from the first Dermatology Medical Group (who never followed up with my dad on the results) to see if there were any underlying causes. We are just grateful to have found Dr. Lee because it is evident that he is concerned about skin issues and not about the money making part of dermatology/cosmetic changes.

OMG, Dr. Lee is exceptionally enjoyable for me as a patient to visit! When my family doctor referred him to take care my skin issues, I was a little skeptical due to some very harsh reviews I read, this is a good lesson to learn not to trust open forums resource without solid proof. Dr. Lee is highly knowledgeable and professional, he listened to my concerns with patient, took care my skin problems skillfully without any discomfort to me. He will be my dermatologist from now on and I'll be happy to refer him to my friends and family members without hesitation.

They cancelled my appoimtment for the treament last december because Dr Lee was on vacation. This year, they said they won't accept my insurance plan anymore. Why did I visit his office last december for initial check up? They didn't let me know they will change the insurance company this year. I have to visit another clinic for initial evaluation again and I have to pay for the copayment for initial evaluation twice.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Lee for over 5 years. He has always been able to resolve our skin issues right away. He is so knowledgeable in his field and also very kind. He is so nice, patient in answering questions, and on time seeing patients. His staff is also nice.

Worst dr ever, unprofessional and disrespectful in every category of being a dr, just come in to your room and leave with out being responsible to your question, we understand you have a business sir but we won't recommend you to any one, zero star honestly

Dr. Lee is really amazing and caring. He did a few three skin scar fixing surgeries for me. I am happy about the results. Highly recommended!

After reading these reviews, my expectations were low, however I had a great experience. I called exactly once to make an appt and the office staff were friendly and helpful. When I arrived, I was greeted, offered paperwork. I chatted with the office staff who were friendly and efficient in entering my info. I went to sit in the very nice waiting room and was barely there for 2 mins before being called back to the patient room.

I figured this is where I'd end up waiting for the doctor, but nope! He came in right away, offered me his hand, was very friendly. We got down to business and discussed my concerns. He did a procedure with his assistant's help and all was well. Everyone was so nice and efficient, I have no qualms about returning to Dr Lee and his staff in the future.

I'm updating my review, but not changing my rating. Dr lee successfully removed another basal cell carcinoma spot from my back two weeks ago. He is polite, nice and efficient. My surgery only took 15 mins. The nurses are really nice also. I'll see him in another 6 months!

This doctor has not patience, just spend 5 minutes to check my skin, and don't want to listen to patient. No suggestions.

They did not communicate properly on the charges and charged me pretty much more. i do not recommend this office. Please find a better place.

The office was organized, prompt and Dr. Lee is amazing. He does a nice job of explaining things in way a non-medical person can understand. I found him to be kind and sincere.

In my initial visit the doctor took plenty of time with me. First he looked at my areas of concern, then he continued with a full body inspection. Of my two areas of concern, he told me that the first one was nothing (and he was quite correct), but he took a biopsy of the second area (which turned out to be nothing as well). In addition, the doctor spotted an anomaly on my cheek that looked like nothing to me, but he took a biopsy (and thank God that he did).

The additional spot was cancerous and was just the tip of the iceberg. The tiny spot on my face was Squamous Carcinoma - and it had progressed past Level 2. Luckily Dr Lee was able to completely remove all of the cancerous margins and leave a minimal scar. My surgery was only six days ago and I'm looking forward to getting my stitches out in 2 days.

I don't know what the other comments are referring to, as I had a 100% excellent experience. I wish that everyone could have had the terrific experience that I had. I'm very sorry to hear that some folks had poor experienes. It sounds to me like Dr Lee has cleaned-up his inefficiencies and put better procedures in place. I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Lee as my dermatologist. With Best Wishes to All, Greg Charles, Ph. D

Not sure if it was because Dr Lee reminded me of my dad; but there was definitely something special about him when we met. He's very intelligent and sincere. I have had two procedures and happy with the results. I can't wait to return for another treatment. Thank you, Dr Gary for making something that was so scary in my head, not so scary after all.

I went to Dr. Lee and found him very professional and will not go to anyone else. My daughter was also advised by another doctor to see Dr Lee and she too thinks very highly of him. I'm planning on making an appointment for my mother soon. I would highly recommended him to family and friends.

They accept walk-ins, so they are already better than other dermatology clinics nearby that could create an appointment no earlier than after 2 weeks. If you have a PPO insurance and need a treatment really fast, this is actually a good place.

I needed a prescription refilled. It was required by Dr. Lee's office that I needed to go in for an additional consultation. The prescription sat at the pharmacy for over a week, as they said that they had not heard back from Dr. Lee's office. No one communicated anything with me. I then was forced to make and unnecessary appointment in my view, to go back in so that I could get the prescription refilled.

I ask the front desk girl on the phone how much that would cost. Her response was, why do you need to know that? That was in my view, unprofessional. The doctor did not examine me or anything he just automatically approved the prescription. Obviously that proves that the consultation was completely unnecessary and a waste of my time. I told the doctor what happened, and his response was he cannot do everything. He said they have a business manager that handles that type of thing. Just put a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be going back.

Dr. Lee is an absolute genius! I had a severe scalp issue that had been dragging on for months because I didn't want to deal with it. Consequently I had lost a large patch of hair and was very distraught when I first saw D. Lee. He diagnosed me immediately, and within 3 days my problem cleared up. On the follow up visit I asked him about what I thought was a permanent skin mark, and with his prescription, 3 weeks later it is gone! He is the best! Don't hesitate to see him.

Dr. Gary Lee has bad "bedside manner." He's condescending and rude. But more than that, he didn't even look at my skin. He was in and out without looking at my face! Also, the front office is horrible. They took FOREVER and were unprepared with my referral paperwork (even though they had it at my first appointment). My voicemails have gone unanswered (still haven't heard back after 3 voicemails). Lastly, they never answer the phones. The "out to lunch" voicemail is on at all hours. I will never go back to this office.

He recommended and performed surgery on my mole just to give himself work and overcharge me and the insurance. He is arrogant and doesn't know how to talk with patients. Now I ended up with a big scar on my back thanks to his great doctor skills!

Dr Lee talked directly to my son about his acne issue. Explained in great detail what he needed to do and how to apply the medication. We did the hydrotherapy and it was very thorough.

After reading all these one-star reviews I was wondering if we were talking about the same doctor. He has always answered all my questions without feeling rushed or condescended to. I have always felt comfortable with his diagnoses and never felt the need to get a second opinion. I appreciate his no nonsense style and mostly attribute that to a cultural difference.

His front office staff have always been friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Dr Lee. Just don't expect to receive a lot of warm fuzzies. That's just not his style.

If you are referred to this Dr. immediately request different referral. Very unhappy. Poor Care. Poor Service Bed side manor of an machine. Walks in the room, doesn't acknowledge you and only speaks directly with the techs and leaves. I had questions i expected to be able to ask and have answered but he had no time for that. I week later i get a call with telling me my issue was cancerous and needs to be removed. Robot Dr. Lee cuts me, stitches me and leaves.

I asked to be reviewed because i am concerned that specific instance might not be the only cancer risk on my body, and the tech was surprised as if it were a strange request and told me i would need to make another appointment for that. Obviously the future health of their patients is not something that they have ever considered before. I told them forget it, i wouldn't want to bother them to do their jobs.

The lack of bedside manor isn't the only issue i had. Dr. did not stitch my wound up adequately and i had to receive additional stitches a week later. Believe everything you read in these reviews. I had the exact same experience as everyone else. I am not returning here again ever.
