I deeply appreciate Dr. Lee and his team. They have taken great care of me for [...] decades. He is realistic about treatment options and goals, funny and treats me as a knowledgeable partner in my care, and I trust he has my best interest in mind.
I have recommended him many times
Dr. Lee is the best. He is everything a physician should be. I am grateful to have him as my doctor.
Dr Lee very professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable
Dr Scott Lee is the best Dr out there always attentive, cares and listens to patients. Highly recommend
Dr. Scott Lee is phenomenal his dedication to getting me to remission went way beyond my expectations and took many years.
Dr. Lee was very detailed in his explanation regarding my condition, and how he wanted to treat it.
Dr Lee is the best, and I really enjoy talking with him. Today he was less hurried than in the past and I appreciated the extra time he spent with me to answer all of my questions. One suggestion: if you bring a team of people into the room with you, introduce each team member and explain why they are there.
I wish Dr. Lee had more time to talk with me and didn't feel so rushed; I wish I could have been referred to a nutritionist or nurse who could help me figure out how to eat a low residue diet and function; I wish there was more support for patients with diet and quality of life in general.
Love Dr Lee!!!!!!!!
Dr. Lee is great. Have sent people I know.
Excellent care each and every visit with Dr. Scott Lee! He answers each and every question or concern every visit. He never rushes me, he is honest and I trust him completely with my care over a span of many many years. [...]
Provider knows my history, thoroughly and communicates well very caring
I had all my questions and concerns answered. It was great
Dr Scott Lee is a incredible, caring, intelligent, extremely talented & skilled Doctor He saved my life & I will forever be grateful
This was the single worst doctors visit of my life. He clearly had no idea who I was or why I was coming in because he immediately just walked in and started talking about some care options that were completely unrelated to me. He constantly went off on tangents and barely let me get a word in to discuss my concerns about my treatment, and out of nowhere he just bolted out of the room and declared the visit over even though he hadn't answered my questions. I saw him for maybe all of 15 minutes and it was the worst healthcare experience of my life. I was furious and seriously am considering leaving the UW as a result.
Dr. Scott Lee is very caring and thorough. I'm so happy to be working with him.
I love Dr. Lee and his team. They have taken excellent care of me for [...] years!
Dr Lee outlines and educates. You always have confidence he will help you figure out what is going on.
So happy to see Dr Lee. He is literally the best.
Great doctor!
I have no words to properly describe how great my experience and visit was with Dr. Lee. He is energetic and explains everything in such a way that I understand and doesn't make me feel less than or dumb. I leave my appointments with Dr. Lee smiling and feeling positive every time. He makes me feel like I am in the driver's seat of my treatment by giving and explaining all the options and asks if I am still okay with the course that I am on. What I really appreciate about Dr. Lee is that I know he is super busy and sees tons of patients however, he is always on time to appointments and he never makes me feel like he is rushing to get out of there as quickly as possible. He makes me feel like I am the only patient he has and he is always prepared for our appointments.
Dr Lee is the best GI doctor I've ever had
Dr. Lee has been my provider a little less than 20 years. He has been a thorough doctor and understands his patient's health issues. He is kind and friendly to my family members as well. He is very pro active in dealing with his patients. Very helpful at all times.
Dr Lee has to be the best in his field. I could not ask for more. It's extremely rare to find a doctor who can so easily distill the latest research and medicine into details that can inform a patient decision, and be easily absorbed. Further his commitment to patient care and getting them to remission is unmatched by any other provider I've ever worked with. He is quite simply the best and I hope you recognize and reward the rarity of his combined skills!
Again, Dr. Lee is the best doctor I have ever seen. He has always been kind and informative. Give that man a raise.
Dr. Lee was awesome. He had gone thru all my past history and was up to speed to take care of my needs and health ! Excellent Dr. Listens patiently and explains things well. [...]
Outstanding physician!
Scott Lee is terrific!
He has always been straight with me and my care
Dr.Lee, his assistants and I had a great conversation about my health plan moving forward. I answered his questions and he answered my questions. He is very pleasant to work with.
This was the clearest description of the issue and the course of treatment was very clearly outlined. Much better than I received from my first gastroenterologist
Dr. Lee takes the time to ensure all questions are answered and uses clear and simple examples to ensure the patient understands. All next steps in the treatment plan are thoroughly discussed and explained clearly and Dr. Lee takes the time to make you agree with the plan. I never feel rushed with Dr. Lee and it feels like he truly cares.
Dr Lee is wonderful.
Dr Lee is the best.
Dr. Scott Lee is excellent. He's friendly and knowledgeable. He answers all my questions. I try to be well-informed and read widely about my condition and treatments (only very reputable professional sources) and Dr. Lee fills in whatever blanks I have as a result of my lack of comprehensive knowledge (not being an MD) and limited accessibility of some information for lay people. Dr. Lee has always taken the time necessary to answer my questions and discuss options.I would recommend him without reservation to others with the only caveat being that he is extremely busy. Cloning him would be a good idea. (If only...)
I have not had a better physician and hope he outlives me so I never have to find care without him.
Dr Lee is an excellent physician. He listens, explains the plan clearly, puts me at ease and involves me in my care. He always appears to be very up to date on recent developments in IBD and shares his knowledge in a clear and helpful way.
