Donald H. Lee MD

Great doctor. Has operated on me twice.

The resident who saw me at first was great. I felt like he listened and heard me. However, I had a very poor experience with the attending doctor. I don't feel like he listened to took my concerns seriously, and it felt like he mocked me for being incorrect about my medical issue. I was asked why I came in and I said I *think* I may have XYZ. He laughed and said, no you don't. That's not what it is. Which is fine, but I don't need to be laughed at. I explained my symptoms as best as I could to get an appointment. It's not my job to know what the issue is. That's why I paid to see a specialist. I definitely do not want to see that doctor again. He may be in a competent doctor, but his bedside manner is terrible. I've been fairly happy with Vanderbilt overall, but this was an extremely negative experience.

Dr. Lee was super. He operated on my wrist fix se real years ago and both instances rated as A+

Great experience

Good

Dr Lee has got this. I don't think I'd want any body else's cutting my finger off. I am fully aware of what has to be done in my best interest. Could not ask for a better Dr then Dr Lee.

Dr. Lee was extremely rude, lacked bedside manners and made me feel incompetent. If it wasn't for the very nice nurses who helped me after I would never go back to Vanderbilt.

This appointment was a bad experience and an example of the provider's poor communication. First, the resident who saw me before the provider didn't know why I was there so there was miscommunication to begin with. Then we decided that the provider wanted to see me to check in before my surgery and I used It as an opportunity to ask him some questions about the surgery, my care post operation and rehabilitation. It took multiple questions to get the simple answers I needed (I.e. Pain meds post operation, elevating my arm, wearing a sling, and how long until I would return to normal activities). Provider showed no understanding and seem to belittle me for asking my questions which I thought were especially pertinent. I was frustrated and disappointed with the treatment I experienced from the providers rude and Impatient style of communication. Although I know the provider is highly trained and experienced in surgery, he has no ability to converse with a patient about a big operation.

Dr. Lee very helpful, knowledgeable and incisive
