Dr. Thomas H Lee, MD

Dr. Lee stated in my appointment that I had come to see him only for determining if I needed surgery. I hope all doctors... see surgery as one of a multitude of options available (hopefully the last option chosen). I was surprised that he took such an attitude. He listened to my history but did not examine my feet. Two other doctors I had been to as well as a physical therapist diagnosed arthritis in my big toe joint. Dr. Lee stated there was none. He did not elaborate on why this was his opinion. He gave me no diagnosis which is acceptable to me as I guess he just did not know. When I asked him for suggestions as to where I could seek help he had no suggestions. I find this disconcerting and unfortunate as I am now seeking a neurologist on my own accord. I am trying to figure out why I continue to have excruciating pains. I expected more from a doctor of his stature and was highly disappointed in his responses to my problems. There are probably certain conditions that Dr. Lee is extremely good on fixing. However, if you have a complex problem that is not straightforward then I would seek advice of a different doctor. more details
