I had significant swelling in my jaw. I could not eat or sleep. Primary care doctors were unable to explain the... swelling. Dr. Lee urgently responded to the issue. He scanned my jaw, got a same-day clinical second opinion, handed me-off to a nearby practitioner (in Upstate NY), and called to check up on me in the days following his hand-off. I was eventually hospitalized to resolve the infection. Yet, not one Provider came close to matching the professional and hopeful service given to me by Dr. Lee! His acute response paired with exceptional bed-side manner guided my healing.read more

A good friend suggested this practice to me, having gone there for dental work over several years, and I am so grateful... that she did!! I went to Dr. Lee for an issue that had persisted for a while and could have required major treatment or could have been due to bite, receding gum, and sinus issues. Dr Lee did not rule out anything but analyzed the symptoms methodically over an initial treatment and follow-up check-ups, and I think has resolved the issue with competently minimal intervention. He listens, analyzes, asks, and explains excellently. It is such a pleasure to find a very competent and personable dentist who is enthusiastic and well-informed in his role as healer, who also is not far from where I live in Upper Manhattan. His staff are also very pleasant and competent. As I told him, for me finding this practice was one of the good things of 2025. I very highly recommend this practice!read more
