"Had a satisfactory experience at Dr.Lee's office. She took care of our needs regarding our infants tongue and lip tie.
Setting up an appointment was quick, staff is very friendly, and the attention provided was great.

Dr. Lee was very helpful and gentle with our daughter and makes herself available to work as a team when assessing the progress made.
I'm certain she's just as gentle with any other dental related needs.

Thank you for your kindness and help!"
