Inspired by her father, a general surgeon, Dr. Lee knew from an early age that she wanted to become a physician. Her career has included serving as an adjunct assistant professor of medicine at Creighton University School of Medicine and, after taking time away from clinical practice to raise her family, caring for patients at Houston Methodist for 15 years.
As an internal medicine physician, Dr. Lee enjoys getting to know her patients over time and helping them navigate both routine and complex health needs. Patients may seek her care for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypothyroidism, as well as ongoing preventive and primary care needs.
Prevention is an important part of Dr. Lee’s approach. She encourages patients to stay current with recommended vaccinations and routine health screenings, including mammograms, colonoscopies and bone density screenings. Her experiences caring for patients have reinforced the importance of preventive care and identifying potential health concerns as early as possible.
Dr. Lee also believes informed patients are better equipped to participate in their care. She encourages patients to ask questions, seek clarification and understand the “why” behind their treatment plans. Her detailed and thorough approach to medicine is grounded in building strong relationships and working together toward better health.
After many years in Houston, Dr. Lee and her husband were ready for a quieter pace of life and were drawn to the warmth and hospitality of the region. At Mercy Health, she looks forward to what she has always enjoyed about practicing medicine, meeting new people and developing lasting relationships with her patients.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Lee enjoys walking her dog and spending time with her family.
