I had the pleasure of first meeting Dr. Lee in 10/18/2017 for my L5 disk. I had just laid my mother to rest on10/14/2017. It went great no problems. I herniated my L5 S1 disk again. I'll was with Kaiser and they did nothing except useless epidurals. I left Kaiser. I saw Dr. Lee again, he was excellent he said all we need to do is a clean up. That means surgery to fix the problem. Even though I live in Solano County and had a different Medi-Cal so I couldn't see him. He referred me to a surgeon he know that took Partnerships Healthcare. The reason I went to Dr. Lee is I totally 100% trust him. He is kind, experienced, professional and truly cares. I would see him again. Trust is everything to me. Thanks again Dr. Lee for everything you do.

After having a second opinion from another doctor, and having questions as to the procedure and the recovery I felt that the meeting with Dr Lee assured me that having the procedure done would have a better result in the end. Age plus’s damage equals time of recovery!!!

Dr. Lee literally saved my neck. He has operated on my spine twice, both with great outcomes. He is a gifted surgeon who really cares about his patients.

Highly recommend Dr Steven Lee! I've struggled with sciatica back pain for 3 years. Pain level reached 8-9 out of 10 scale. Got temporary relief from an initial epidural injection, but 2nd round no longer effective. Referred to Dr Lee and couldn't be more pleased. He diagnosed the condition, developed a minimally invasive surgical solution, and implemented it as planned. Overall experience from initial visit to surgery was about 4-6 weeks. Started with pain level 8/10; now 3 weeks after surgery 1-2/10. Remarkable turnaround and improvement in life quality. Dr Lee is all business, communicates clearly, is easily understood, and totally candid. Overall, couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended!

I was out of the surgery center, and returned to my office fast, and overall have had an excellent outcome. Dr. Lee has been attentive and efficient. As a chiropractor, I will have no hesitation referring my surgical cases to Dr. Lee.
