I would first like to say, they got me in the same day that I called, I was having a small crisis and they were able to get me in to the Deerfield center. The nurse that took my vitals was absolutely fabulous. I also used to work as a nurse and She was the epitome of what all nurses should be. Kind and extremely considerate and listened to me as I explained some of the things that have been going on with me. Dr. Lee was absolutely fabulous. I am going to continue to see him. He was also very caring and I felt like I was being listened to as well. I have some medical issues and he was so knowledgeable and reminded me of two other gynecologist I used to see one who moved and one who had retired. If you have any fear about being seen by a gynecologist or are looking for a new one that actually listens to you, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his staff.
