The injection was more intense than I expected and Dr. Lee was so kind and gentle with me. He explained that my reaction wasn’t unusual and gave me space to rest until I regained my equilibrium. He’s a very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor.

Dr Lee is an amazing surgeon, and a very people-centered person. His approach is warm, friendly, and professional. His explanations are clear, concise, and easily understood. He takes the time to answer any and all questions, while not making one feel rushed. His accessibility is outstanding. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. My surgical outcome was remarkable!

Dr. Frederick Lee specializes in both knee and hip joint replacement. He has replaced one knee joint & one hip for me with outstanding results. On my recent knee joint replacement he was making his follow up rounds with his patients and he was in my room at 6:00 am. To say the least I was impressed! He is a good listener and communicator. He has an excellent support staff which provide Dr. Lee with quality professional assistance. Bottom line, OPA ORTHO is a total professional organazation!!!

Had my consultation with Dr. Lee and the reviews I read prior to my appointment stand valid. He truly deserves his 5 star rating!! He took his time with my husband and I and answered our questions and we never felt rushed or hurried. He seemed genuinely interested in my story and medical history and how to best approach my the hip replacement. I walked out feeling encouraged and at ease about the procedure. In addition, the staff from the reception desk to the nursing staff were kind and very personable. So happy I found Dr. Lee!!!

Exceptional surgeon who specializes in hip replacement. From initial assessment to post op Dr. Frederick Lee was attentive, professional and communicative. He addressed all of my concerns and days later post surgery he was still available for consultation via a personal cell number.

If you are looking for a highly qualified hip replacement surgeon, Dr. Frederick Lee is it.
