I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone seeking relief from spinal issues. He and his office are always a pleasure to work with. I have been getting treatment from Dr. Lee for approximately 5 yrs and throughout that time his office always returned my calls with answers to my questions. I never felt pressured into surgery, and was always treated as knowledgeable with time given to answers for all my questions. All this is a BIG plus in the healing process and the doctor/patient relationship.

I was acquainted with doctor Kevin Lee before I had a brain biopsy at Detroit Receiving Hospital, when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Dr. Kevin Lee is a compassionate man and I am at awe of him. If someone has a problem with my comments, he/she should speak to James Shaw.

In the summer of 2019 I had excruciating pain in my low back. DR. Lee ordered an MRI which showed several bulging disks. In September he gave me 2 steroid shots under anesthetic so I felt no pain. Soon after the shots I got up from the table, walked out pain free. It is now summer of 2023 ( 4 years) and the pain has not returned. I am very pleased and recommend Dr. Lee to my friends.

I met with Dr. Lee recently to discuss spinal surgery or alternatives. We reviewed a previously obtained MRI and made the joint decision to treat my condition with cortisone injections directly to the affected area of my lower spine. Dr Lee had performed other treatments on my back previously and I put full faith and confidence in him. He is a true professional and always informs me of the treatment plan best suited to my medical conditions.
