Rodney S Lee,DDS

Lee and Young is our ortho — Dr. Lee. The staff are courteous, we are in and out quickly for all those quick check ups, and they worked with me to finance the braces.

Wonderful experience from the time I called to schedule to the time I checked out.
Professional, courteous, and knowledgable staff across the board.
Highly recommended!

Our son and daughter are both at the end of their invisiline experience and it all went so well. The monthly visits went smoothly and your office was professional and sensitive to our needs. Now we wait and see if it will all last for the future. Thanks for all your attention to our children’s dental well being.

We are always treated warmly and professionally by everyone at every visit. The office can be busy, but the wait is minimum. My granddaughter has a deep fear of the medical profession., but this office works with her anxieties, fears and questions calmly and appropriately. Dr. Lee takes time to explain the process and her progress to both of us, answering our questions, making sure we both understand why and what needs to be done, especially my granddaughter. We recommend this office to everyone looking for orthodontics work!

Dr. Rodney Lee and all the staff here were great. I felt supported and encouraged each visit (for over three years!) and I appreciated the positive and skillful treatment and care I received.

Dr. Lee straightened my daughter’s, my husband’s, and my teeth and they are now perfect! We have always had a wonderful experience, and the office staff is incredibly attentive and considerate. We wouldn’t go anywhere else and you shouldn’t either!!!

Our family loves Dr Lee and his staff. Always friendly, accommodating and goes over and beyond to make sure we’re cared for.

Even though it took longer than expected I’m very happy with the way my teeth came out.

Dr. Lee and his excellent staff of technicians always make our children feel well-​cared for and comfortable. Dr. Lee is exceptionally kind and patient. I never feel as though our appointments are rushed — there’s always plenty of time for questions and discussion. Our children have very complicated cases that will require years of orthodontics and several surgeries, but Dr. Lee’s thoughtful analysis and clear explanation of the pros and cons of each treatment approach give us the information we need to decide what’s right for us. Thanks to him, our kids are on their way to having mouths full of straight, healthy teeth. We’re very grateful to Dr. Lee and his staff for transforming what might have been a stressful experience into a simple and straightforward matter. I wouldn’t trust my children’s orthodontic care to anyone else!

Had braces here back in 2002 I believe with Dr Rodney lee. He was great and my teeth came out really good. Wish I didn’t lose my retainers so my bottom teeth could still be straight.

Dr. Lee has been the orthodontist for all three of my children and we could not have been happier with his work. He is wonderful, his office is conveniently located at Laurel Village — which has parking — and the staff are personable and efficient. I recommend the practice very highly.

He is gentle, kind, efficient and clear about timing, expectations and cost.

I got my braces with Dr. Lee put on and taken out over ten years ago (ages 16 – 18). The whole experience was pretty easy, and the only painful part was when the rubber band spacers were put in prior to the braces. As he’d promised, the process only took two years. I had had friends who had gone to other orthodontists who promises 2 years and it ended up being 4 years. Recently, I went back to Dr. Lee in order to get replacement retainers (since I’d broken my old ones and hadn’t worn retainers in a while). Dr. Lee clearly explained the process to me, and after a short few weeks I had my replacement retainers. Office staff was always responsive, professional, and courteous. There was a slight issue with the computer system in dealing with the payment/​insurance, but staff were always good about answering my questions and concerns.

Such a great and thorough consultation. Was really happy I wasn’t pressured into doing any unnecessary procedures and was referred to another specialist who might have other less invasive options. Would definitely come back for any orthodontic needs.

We have been very happy with Dr. Young and his staff. I found his office manager very easy to work with and helpful in working out a payment plan. His staff in general is very pleasant and timely. Dr. Young has used a conservative approach with both my young sons (starting at age 9 for both boys) and improved their teeth alignment with the just the use of expanders and retainers. He kept costs low as their teeth came in, and we avoided having them wear braces when they were young. I recommend his office to my friends often.

Dr. Lee has helped me with Invisalign for the past year. He’s always on top of what Invisalign’s releasing next. He and his crew are super fast, and have a very convenient 450 Sutter Fidi location as well. Folks at the front desk are a pleasure to work with as well.

I have been going to Dr Lee for my treatment for the last 2 years, I am really happy with the superb care of him and his staff. My underbite is reversed, and I’m just waiting for a small gap to close before taking off my braces! I am so happy and I feel blessed that I found Dr. Lee! I can’t wait to post my before and after picture!

I just had my braces removed yesterday and the result is really great. The team is really professional and I highly recommend going to them for any work requiring braces.

Dr young and his staff literally feel like extended family. They’ve taken both my sons through orthodontia (prolonged in both cases) and go above and beyond. They’ve stepped up in emergencies and have a real dedication that is hard to find. Most importantly they make the kids feel vested in the process and cared for.

I’d give 2.5 stars if I could. So far, this business is definitely better than 2 stars and definitely worse than 3 stars. (I’m only five months into my treatment plan.) I’m going with 2 stars because I’ve now had two particularly annoying/​impersonal visits.
I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Dr. Lee. His plan for my teeth was the one that made the most sense when I compared all my options (I got free consultations from four orthodontists!). He certainly wasn’t the cheapest option, and he isn’t the most expensive, either. He certainly knew what he was talking about when we met. He picked up on my problems with my gums and my sensitive teeth and immediately ruled out some of the options other orthodontists had mentioned. I trusted his judgment from the start. His staff is friendly as well, and that counts for a lot in my book. These are the positives.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, one may end up barely seeing Dr. Lee after one’s first visit. Another reviewer described this place as «factory braces»; I tend to agree to a certain extent. A useful tip: 3 – 3:30 pm is a BAD time to get an appointment; it’s when all the school-​age children are there. I will not be scheduling a visit during that time slot ever again; it’s the slot that makes me agree with the «factory braces» diagnosis. Example: once, I had a 3:20 pm tightening appointment; next thing I know, it’s 3:50 pm and I’m still waiting for Dr. Lee to show up and take a look at what his assistant has done and explain whatever he is going to explain about my progress. He was nowhere to be seen and no one approached me to tell me when he might show up. (He showed up a little after 3:50; the actual visit with him was over in about 5 minutes.) This same thing happened again recently, during a particularly busy day for me at work (and this repeat offense is the reason I decided to write this review because the «benefit of the doubt» thing can only happen so many times). Making a patient wait for 20 minutes without letting her know it’ll be a 20-​minute wait is not OK — not ever, in my opinion. It’s certainly not OK when the patient is there on time for a 5-​minute check-​up during the work day. Please respect people’s time, you guys! This doesn’t have to be a cultural/​normative thing to which we all need to resign ourselves. Please and thank you!
I’ll update my review when I see the results at the end of my treatment. I assume my teeth will be just fine, and that was the most important thing to me – hence my desire to give 2.5 stars overall. I’m seeing good and fast results already, which make me happy. At the same time, if a personal connection with people who are sticking their hands in your mouth is a requirement for you (which I think is a VERY a reasonable thing to prioritize), I’d probably suggest looking elsewhere.
