Janet H Lee DO

I was looking for a general physician, and had just had a serious car accident following a minor accident two weeks prior which broke my thumb. I am not in good shape after two accidents in two weeks, on top of other concerns. I am seeing an orthopedist but haven’t found a general physician, so when I called to make an appointment, I was told the doctor was out on vacation so I told them never mind, as I didn’t want to wait 2 weeks to see someone. Well, they put me down for an appointment anyway without my knowing, and called me to confirm today. I was confused as I didn’t ever make the appointment in the first place, but since i could still use a general physician, and certainly needed some advice on my overall well-​being following my injuries and other health problems i’ve been having, i decided to keep the appointment. Apparently it was a mistake to mention anything about having had a bad car accident and asking whether the doctor is willing to help with my attorney though, because I just got a very curt phone call back in which the receptionist told me she talked to her manager and they were canceling my appointment. No explanation other than they don’t do personal injuries, and she was not concerned at all to find out anything more about me before refusing to see me basically. Wow. I can’t believe how unconcerned she was. So if that is a reflection on the doctor, then I certainly don’t want to go to her anyway. Treating me like I am some jerk making up stuff with a bogus claim or something. So rude.

Dr Janet Lee is a awesome doctor who truly cares for her patients. She is very detailed and answers your questions very clearly. The ladies in front are very sweet and sharp as well. I would highly recommend Dr Janet Lee to everyone.

Dr. Lee consistently presented as prompt, comprehensive and honest in her assessments. It was clear that she was willing to think outside of the box, rather than rush through. Kris at the billing office well exceeded her technical obligations in order to make sure that my coverage was maximized. I was blown away with the extra phone calls that she didn’t have to make, but she did, just to help me. I had a positive experience with each and every staff member that I crossed paths with along the way. Thank you to Dr. Lee and staff for exceeding my expectations as a patient. I felt well taken care of and that is priceless in regards to health!

I was very disappointed with her care. I too often was told to «do my research» when it came to what medicines I could take while pregnant. I asked if I could take Sambucus while pregnant and she said she didn’t know so I should do some research… (What is the point of a doctor if they don’t know and only point you to your own findings…) I had a monstrous allergic reaction to something else and she told me to wait a week and see how I felt. She could see how much pain I was in and the hives all over my body and I had told her that those meds hadn’t worked for me but she told me to keep at it and wait it out. Long story short, I ended up in the emergency room and they took care of it and sent me home with meds. I paid $ 200+ for an ER visit that should have been taken care of during my in-​office visit with her.
When I was in the waiting room I heard the receptionist tell a patient to «do their homework.» That is unacceptable when the doctor is being paid to give us the answer, not for anything else.
Their billing is horrendous and a headache. I was threatened with collections only to be told «I’m sorry, that was a mistake on our part» — TWICE!
I feel really badly leaving this review because they were all nice, however, nice does not trump knowledge and experience and people should have honest feedback on this practice.

I went to this doctor merely out of convenience to get my rx’s filled — something as simple as that — and the staff still hadn’t gotten it right! Only two prescriptions and the pharmacy never received them. The doctor claims to be a patient advocate but I have yet to see her show it. Her staff, including Stacey — just about the slowest and so lame. I guess being in the legal biz makes me a stickler for promptness, so forget about it her! I’ve certainly moved on.

DR. Lee has been my primary doctor for over a
first visit with hmo, she talked and examined me not once looking at the darn clock that i was used to with an hmo. She ordered tests that i am now receivibg treatment for that went unnoticed by specialistswho need to go back to school… she is great as is her staff like Stacy and Pinky and others in her her beautiful waiting room… so warm. yes, you may wait but that means she spends time with you to make sure you understand the health issues you needed answers to… stop whinning! everbody waits beyond the appt time… i hope she never retires!

If you’re looking for a GP look no further! Everyone in the office is really nice. Appointments are easy to come by. The doctor is great– takes time to answer all my questions. Highly recommended.

Everyone needs a good primary care physician. I have known Dr. Lee for many years. She is a great doctor and treats her patients very well. Her staff is friendly and helpful and her office is amazing! They are a multicultural practice and they speak many languages which is an asset to the practice.

Dr. Janet Lee is an awful doctor. She cares about money does not care about client well being. She is not a good listener, all she does is talk over you. Acts nice until she gets paid then she forgets all about you.
The office smells like sushi every time I have been there. Just messy location.
I found a new doctor near me that actually took the time to go over my situation and recommend test to diagnose the issue at hand.
I do not recommend anyone to see Janet Lee.

Awesome doctor. Don’t let the DO make you think she’s any less than a MD. DO just means she’ll «do» what a MD won’t actually take time to actually do. She’s very thorough. I think she’s a bit blunt but I think it’s better to hear the truth than sugar coated half-​truths considering this is your life we’re talking about.

Dr Lee is awesome. Wait time is never too long, bedside manners are excellent, I’m very satisfied with the level of service from the doctor. She followed up with me immediately after getting test results and addressed each and every one of my concerns. I highly recommend her as a primary.

Dr. Lee is nothing short of great! She really takes the time with each and every one of her patients, taking care of their health and individual needs in the most professional way possible. I had transferred from another doctor and could not be happier. In addition, her staff also works just as professionally and as hard as well. A++

I have been seeing Dr. Lee now for at least 4 + years. What I really like and appreciate about her is that she is honest, blunt very understanding at the same time. Dr. Lee does not beat around the bush to tell you all of the feel good things. Although, she is very easy to talk to and is full of compliments. Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable. She really knows her stuff. I am comfortable with taking any problem to her. If you are looking for a doctor to give you things that you don’t REALLY NEED. Like a handicap parking pass (even though you run 5 miles a day), drugs (because you just enjoy the high), medical marijuana license (for you or your 16 year old because everyone else has one), doctor’s note for work (because you were out partying all night and just didn’t feel like going to work). Dr. Lee doesn’t play those games. And I for one am glad. That’s one reason that I like her and have stuck with her all of this time. She has integrity and morales. Every since her move into her own facility about 2 years ago, things really have blossomed for her practice. She is a very sought after physician. I recommend her with all 100% confidence. She is the best. And she has some of the nicest and most professional employees working for her. Stacey at the front desk is joy to talk to and she is always wearing a smile. Even though, I know it gets hectic at times dealing with some personalities.

I’m looking for a doctor… not a best friend. Dr. Lee fits the bill. In my experience she’s not afraid to give tough feedback and hold you accountable for your own health. I’m not screening for wonderful bedside manner but I don’t think Dr. Lee is rude or insensitive… she’s just honest. I have noticed her office is getting busier but good for her… it better than any other south bay practices I’ve been to.

I’ve been coming here for 2 years, and I’m going to change primary MD as of the last visit. I’ve had the same complaint for 2 years that’s been unaddressed. If she doesn’t know then maybe refer me to a specialist. She wanted to prescribe a drug that has some very unhealthy side effects for a condition that didn’t warrant it. She wanted to see me for a follow up, but when I got there, she had no idea why I was there. I had a «physical» and she barely touched me. Didn’t listen to my heart, nothing. so why did I have one? I think to make her $$. Doesn’t take debit cards, but when I had an expensive vaccination, most likely not covered by my insurance for over $ 200, suddenly her office did accept them… Finally, I agree she’s cold.

I wanted to like the staff. I really did and that’s why I kept making appointments. They were so nice and friendly but In the end of the day they are too inexperienced. The doctor is knowledgable, but everyone else couldn’t answer simple questions I had. I work at a doctor’s office too and I can tell when they don’t know the answer. Each time I came to my appointments something went wrong. I made an appointment for a reason and when I went there they tell me they don’t have the materials needed. What’s the point of wasting my time going there and money for the «office visit»? Couldn’t they tell me on the Phone that they don’t have it? Also I never had a tb test that hurt as bad as it did.

Nothing great about this doctor. I found her to be like every other mainstream doctor out there which is «useless.» Does not think out side the box. Lacks compassion and does not connect the dots. Brings nothing to the table. Same old cookie cutter approach you get from any other mainstream doctor out there which is treating the symptom with Medi$in instead of digging for the root cause. Any one can do that. Does not talk about nutrition or other healthy alternatives. Does not go above or beyond. Had no interests in the cutting edge approaches I was telling her about like epigenetics. She said I was getting scammed from all the biomedical testing and was trying to say I am an alarmist. SO I told her oh yea well it was that biomedical testing and holistic treatments that saved my life while the medical community left me for dead and almost killed me countless times with their Medi$in and wrong diagnosis. Oh Boy did I try to school her good but she didn’t even care to listen so apparently I was wasting my time. I wish I had the appointment taped bc she was saying so much stupid stuff. She said OK Ill give you the test you want but I cant read them. lol. Then she said there is no Lyme in our area here in Southern California. Oh God I cant even get into it on here the DUMBNESS that was coming out of her mouth. I was so embarrassed for her lack of knowledge, awareness and her HIGH self-​confidence. SO sad. Anyhow there was a lot more stupid things that went on and I’m not going into details. The take home message is you are in terrible terrible hands when it comes to your health. Research and practice preventive medicine. Pray you don’t get sick bc you will be screwed. So hopeless out there in the medical world when it comes to chronic illness.

How refreshing. I moved here from Texas 2 years ago and finally got around to finding a PC. Do some dr searches and look at their ratings. There is a reason for that. Now look at dr lees.
Timely, efficient, caring, knowledgable.

I found Dr. Lee using an app called ZocDoc and I’m SO glad I did! I was able to fill out my info online so I barely had to do any paperwork on my first visit. Super convenient. I’ve been there twice now and I have no complaints. The office is very clean, and the receptionist is super friendly! :) Dr. Lee is also awesome! She’s really nice, thorough, has great bedside manner, and is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a family doctor/​primary care physician.

I m a new patient of dr lee’s but i m not new to med services in the usa. First dr lee was right on time to see me. That would be the first; a doc who actually feels that my time is as valuable as hers. Second the staff are so pleasant to work with. They r not grumpy n malcontent like some r at other clinics. I used to be a psych nurse n i m perceptive to people’s affects. The staff are truly happy there. They must be well treated. Finally the doc took her time with me. I did not feel rushed at all. She is personable, cheerful, competent, careful n caring. I just randomly picked her out of a list of docs in my health ins network. How lucky can one get?
Update 6÷18÷14: I am no longer a new patient of Dr. Lee’s. I just saw her this morning for a follow up. She was pleasant and personable as usual. I continue to be amazed how on time this office is. I was so used to waiting for hours, literally hours at times, to see medical providers that I am tickled whenever I am seen on time by a medical provider. This is such a refreshing concept! By the way, my labs and numbers looked great this morning. Thanks, Doc!
PS: the staff members continue to be pleasant. They must be quite happy working there.
