Positive experience: Dr. Lee is professional and thorough - very helpful in dealing with my sleep apnea. The office staff is calm, professional and accommodating - appointments easy to book, short wait times.

Fantastic experience: Everybody was extremely nice.
Negative experience: I have been going to this office for years, It changed hands and has gone down hill fast, last year I received my new device and I told them it was too tight, they said wear it for a while, a year later it is still too tight and gives me headaches. I have been leaving phone messages for days and now the recorder is "full" I never received a return call. I called several times in quick succession and someone picked up and then hung up. Find a different office, don't put yourself through the stress of dealing with this abusive treatment. I recall the patient next to me complaining about his device being too tight as well and they told him to wear it anyway. This Dr and his assistant do not care once you are out the door. I'll go back to wearing my old device and find a new TMJ specialist. Ok, I’ll modify my review, they were on “break” and their recorder failed to accept the notice that they tried to change, I have since been able to get an appointment and get my device adjusted, also the Dr has called to see how I’m doing, if I could change my review I would give them a better one
Hi Jim, sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with us. Truly apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. I try to communicate thoroughly regarding the usage of the oral appliance especially with pain, asking how long it lasts when you take the device out in the morning. It looks like I was not a very good communicator for you.
If you give us another opportunity to make the adjustments right, I will take care of that. We normally do not reply to the reviews as you can probably see, but I take patient care very seriously and it is the core value that I want to uphold in my practice. Hence is the reason why I see all sleep patients myself.
We are actually on break since last Friday, I will call you as soon as I get to the office coming Monday. Apologies again for your experience.
Dr. Lee

Fantastic experience: I am leaving this review exactly one year after getting my mouth splint. It has been life changing. I mean some people just say that, but honestly, I sleep better, I chew better, no more jaw popping, no more tense jaw pain, no more jaw clenching, no more teeth grinding at night, no more snoring, better sleep and I have very few headaches (hydration with celtic salt is also key for headaches) I don't feel like the staff did the best job in selling all of these benefits, I did a lot of research online before deciding to do it. Because quite honestly, had I not done some research, I never would have spent thousands of dollars on a hope that it would help. It is life changing. Do it!

Fantastic experience: On time got me in and out
Fantastic experience: I have been going from dentist to dentist for over 10 years. There is no one person who knows everything but there are people along the way who have added various layers of help and expertise. Dr Lee and his predecessor Dr Kim have been those people for me. Dr Lee has helped both my mother and myself with some very unusual problems now for a number of years. His office has a unique way of making and fitting splints that help with TMJ and they have helped me make it through some very difficult times.
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Lee to get fitted for a mouth splint. After a thorough exam, he advised me against a splint because my teeth might not be strong enough to properly support it. I appreciate the honesty and would definitely recommend him for any sleep related problems.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lee and his staff are phenomenal. From the moment I walked in, to every other follow-up they’ve been so professional. They let you know immediately it’s all about you!
Positive experience: The place was easy to find. Dr Lee and his assistant Maya were very nice and professional. Unfortunately the price for the splint that was beeing suggested to fix my TMJ was enormous and since their clinic is out of my network, my insurance will not cover the $3,000.00 cost. We were going to proceed with it thinking it was only $1,000.00 but got sticker shock. So, I have to look for another TMJ doctor within my network. I really wish the price was affordable. I like Dr. Lee and Maya.
Fantastic experience: Great doctor, very knowledgeable, professional and compassionate and also nice office staff.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lee and his staff have gone out of their way to accommodate my need to have a dental appliance made and fitted in a short time before I left on a two-month vacation. still in process (I leave in a couple of weeks), but they didn’t have to make the results of my procrastination their problem — yet they did. Nothing but good things to say about everyone at the office.
Fantastic experience: Staff was professional and helpful. Dr Lee answered all my questions and explained the device thoroughly.
Fantastic experience: After suffering from severe TMJ for decades I have been cured. I have seen numerous physicians and dentists over the years, I finally received the right treatment. Previously I had 4 different splints made. None of them worked. After seeing Dr Lee and receiving his splint I had a marked improvement in literally 7-10 days. Dr Lee is great! He really knows his speciality and how to treat it properly. He’s kind and professional. He’s very calming and precise about his planned treatment. As a recently retired urgent care clinical administrator for over 30 years I really expect a lot from dental and medical offices. His staff is very knowedgable and very nice. I am so happy I was referred to him. It has truly changed my life.
