Dr. Lee may be a well-known surgeon at HSS, but his behavior toward patients tells a very different story. Despite multiple attempts to reach him regarding my test results and treatment plan, he never responded. Not once. The response commitment his office made was ignored entirely.When I finally did have an appointment, he arrived unprepared and unfamiliar with my documented history. No treatment plan was ever provided.I filed a formal complaint with HSS Patient Experience. Their response defended Dr. Lee and sidestepped my... read more

Excellent experience with Dr Lee. I am gratefulHad a previous procedure/surgery on my left wrist (CRP) and the results were poor.Visited Dr Lee who suggested wrist fushion to alleviate my pain and inability to live normally.Surgery was a great success and I was off painkillers within 3 days.My interaction with Dr Lee was tremendous - such a nice, caring guy who explained and updated me with every visit.

Dr. Lee did my surgery on October 16th, 2024. I’m post surgery 8 days as of today.Personally, I have no issue with him. He was nice enough. Pre surgery, he carefully explained my procedure, & I understood what he was going to do. A needed FYI: I’m immunocompromised & I’ve had a post surgical infection before.1-After my release from the hospital the next day, I never received a call asking how I was doing.2-I messaged the office a few times for different issues & concerns, but rarely got a response. I had to follow up with my... read more

Dr. Steve K. Lee came highly recommended by a peer in his field. I saw him for a second surgical opinion and I had complete confidence in him. He was quickly able to see the previous doctor I saw elsewhere did incomplete testing and diagnosis. Dr. Lee recommended a better course of treatment and ordered new tests and MRIs. The surgery was a success.

I suffered over 6 years with debilitating pain. I left a limited field of vet medicine, and eventually left work altogether, due to my pain. I left home, I left my hobbies, and I was gradually leaving life. I lost all hope.Dr. Steve K Lee at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) was the only physician to listen and address my complaint. He ordered multiple imaging studies, a diagnostic nerve block, and performed physical and ultrasonic exams to diagnose my peripheral nerve disorder. I was out of obvious nerve pain on waking... read more

Dr. Lee. is a consummate professional. I went to him for a minor hand fracture. Unlike another orthopedic surgeon I saw who was quick, informal and basically pushed me towards surgical procedure, Dr. Lee took the time to explain both options and gave me what I felt was a more honest assessment w pros and cons of both options. My hand has fully healed and is perfect condition via non-surgical healing. I highly recommend Dr. Lee.

Hospitalized due to a partially amputated middle finger that became infected. He was able to save the finger from being totally amputated.

As of today 5/27/16, That small round ball at the base of the thumb feeling is no longer there. Trigger finger was gone but has return & I can write my signature maybe 4 times, still can't write a full page.Heel of them is tender
