Simon Lee, MD

My husband and I visited here briefly a couple of years ago for our green card application. The process was pain free and fast. His documentation was solid and we were very happy with the results.
Few weeks ago, my parents came here to visit us from overseas. My dad had a really bad gout attack and could not walk (he was literally crawling out from his room in the morning). We took him in and the doctor managed to squeeze in a spot for him on the same day. We saw the doctor around lunch time. Simon was gentle and thorough. He does care and tailor the treatment to each family’s situation, which we truly appreciated. After taking the prescription, my dad’s symptoms were greatly improved on the same day and was fixed within 2 — 3 days!
While waiting to see the doctors, my dad stroke few conversations with patients in the waiting area. It seems that the patients here are all very happy with Dr. Lee, which is really a good sign.
One point deducted for the decore and small waiting area of the office. The practice gets very busy very quickly, so it may seem to be not very organized and could be a little chaotic. But if you can get pass that, the doctor himself is awesome.
Also, Dr. Lee has a practice in SF as well. So he is in Burlingame location only part of the week. Staff and Dr. Lee speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English.

Well, what can I say? I have to write this post. My grandma since immigrated to U. S back in 1989 and has seen Doctor Lee throughout till she moved to elder care home and passed away (trying to hold my emotion here…). Doctor lee has been the most caring and patient doctor that I have ever seen. He will go extra miles if it means to help you. I still remember one time he even drove his own car to take my Grandma to the hospital. Doctor Lee, this is a post that I feel that I am writing for my Grandma to you. You totally deserved this 5 stars rating.

Doctor Simon Lee is my primary. Moved to SF Bay from the East Bay and glad I found him online. Dr. Lee is intelligent but a bit too quiet, he lets you talk about your symptoms, and doesn’t talk back or ask too many questions, he just nods his head and says okay. He jots down your symptoms on your personal file, then concludes with a prescription on-​hand. A simple Doctor, with many informative documents for your health concerns, but not very talkative. Which might be a good thing for others.

dr lee has been my pcp for 3+ years. both dr lee AND HIS STAFF are very competent, professional and caring for his patients. i could not be more pleased with medical care received at dr lee’s office.

My mom has come to see Dr. Lee for more than 4 years. Most of the office visit would take around 3 or 4 mins the max. I believed you really can’t get much of communication within this short time! I would suggest Dr. Lee should pay more attention to the patient. Have more eye contact instead of keep writing his own notes while listening. (I am not sure if this is a bad habit or not, perhaps he tried to save time)

Dr. Lee has been my primary care physician for over 4 years now. I must say he is a very good primary care physician that listens to all your requests. He is very accommodating and compassionate.
Jenny at the front desk has always been able to accommodate my request for appointments and at times been able to get me in at the same day.
Highly recommend this office!

Dr. Lee has been my primary doctor for 2+ years. I think he is a very good doctor and that he cares about his patients. He also gives me great referrals!
His staff has always been very courteous and professional!
MULTILINGUAL: English, Mandarin, and Cantonese!

Horrible doctor. I have been sick for a few days, constant vomitting and trips to the bathroom. I came to his practice place hoping he could help. I explained my conditions to him, yet I only received one word answers which I found unhelpful and of which I have already known possible reasons for my sickness. He did not even checked me once and did not even bother to ask for any kind of information needed to determine my illness. In the end of my quick 5 minute visit, he just gave me a prescription for my stomache. I think he doesn’t really care about his patients and just want money.

I got my green card fast which means that Dr. Lee’s documents were problem free. Highly recommended!

Dr. Lee was introduced to me by my wife and now we both hooked to his practice. he is very patient and allows the patient to have the best treatment ever. we have been going to Dr. Lee for a little over 3yrs now and we wont change him for any other doctor. Not only does he treat our illness, he also gives great advice of various if u ask his opinion.
Not to forget his excellent stuff, Jenny and Ava! they are friendly and very welcoming, especially Jenny. she always calls to make sure we recall our appointment dates and so forth.
Thank u Dr. lee and your excellent stuff for accepting us into your practice!

Dr. Lee is a very good doctor. He’s well mannered, very thorough and patient and really understanding of our situations. We came to the office for medical examination and vaccination for immigration purposes, and he was totally on top of everything, telling us exactly what we need. And in 15 minutes, we walked out of the office with all the records we need. This is definitely a professional place.

I really need to upgrade my review for the awesome customer service and responsiveness to customer satisfaction from Dr. Lee. After reading my review, he reached out in a handwritten note and personally apologized for the experience I had — I was not expecting this at all. My review was never a knock on Dr. Lee himself but rather the experience I had in the waiting room. It’s never easy going to the doctors (if anyone has encountered a zen experience, let me know).

Dr. is ehhh. But overall the place is crap. The office has files and paperwork EVERYWHERE & it seems like to office staff could care less. The waiting room is really small & outdated. It’s kind of uncomfortable when the Dr. and his staff talk to each other in another language before they discuss your Heath with you.
would go back although the Dr. isnt bad. It’s just that they need to update the office, work on customer service, English & having the FOUR office staff members pick up the pace and maybe work.

I was looking for a civil surgeon for my medical examination and came across Dr Simon Lee here at Unilocal.It’s a good thing I didn’t rely on the negative review here at his Burlingame office, as he was the opposite! He is a very mild mannered, soft spoken Chinese doctor who was quick in my procedure. He went through with my medical exam smoothly and gave me the necessary vaccines. The results were in after a couple of days. His office also charges minimally ($ 250 all in all) and the receptionists are friendly and even apologetic after a 10−15minute wait (I have waited for hours in other doctors’ offices). They only accept cash though, but it’s still much affordable than other civil surgeon’s rates. And Dr. Simon Lee is an assistant professor at UCSF (I think) so how could you go wrong with him? Highly recommend him!
