Company Description

Dr. Lee became fascinated with Spine Surgery during his residency. The complexity of problems, nuisances of diagnosis, and the profound, positive impact that proper treatment can provide patients motivated him to pursue fellowship training in complex, adult spine surgery at the University of California, San Diego.

Dr. Scott I. Lee is a highly-skilled and experienced orthopedic spine surgeon whose sterling credentials are made even more impressive by the fact that he is a compassionate individual who wants nothing but the best possible care for his patients, and does all he can to give it to them. I am extremely fortunate--blessed, in fact!--to have ended up with him as my spine surgeon after I’d suffered for over a year due to the effects of a botched cervical spine surgery performed by another surgeon the year before. He was very respectful, was never patronizing or condescending when talking to me and, in fact, took pains to make sure I fully understood what was being discussed. He did not rush me through any of the consultations. Instead, he encouraged me to voice my concerns, and made sure these were all thoroughly addressed to my satisfaction before I left his office. He gave me ample time to digest all pertinent information with regard to my diagnosis and urged me to discuss all treatment options with my family so that we would know what to do next. Dr. Lee performed a total of three very difficult and complicated surgeries on me over two consecutive days to correct my cervical spine problems. He made sure my family was kept updated on my condition, and took the time to visit me twice a day, every day, while I was in the hospital, to make sure everything was turning out as planned. He worked closely with my physical therapists and nurses to ensure that I was being given the proper post-op care. I had the operations only three weeks ago, but already, I see a vast improvement in my condition. He continues to keep a watchful eye over me and monitors my progress through my follow-up visits and additional tests. If I have any questions regarding my medications or have any concerns regarding my recovery, all I have to do is call up his office and I receive a call back from him or a member of his efficient staff within a reasonable amount of time. Spine problems are no laughing matter, spine surgeries even less so. In fact, at the hands of inept, uncaring surgeons, they can lead to debilitating conditions, a lifetime of pain or paralysis, and even death. Which is why I thank God and am extremely grateful that I am now under the care of Dr. Scott I. Lee, an excellent, caring spine surgeon who has successfully fused modern surgical techniques with solid and established surgical skills to ensure his patients have a better shot at leading normal, productive and happy lives. - Maria C
