Patient Reviews
Mar 19, 2024
Pain started from left shoulder and armpit in Nov. 2022. It expended through tingling left arm to hand and fingers in few days. Immediately I had Dr. Dunphy checking up in Newport Orthopedic. After X-ray n MRI, Dunphy referred my case to Dr. Lee for opinion. In the 1st meeting with Dr. Lee, this was our conversation:Lee: Mr. XX, you need a surgery.XX: what is the risk?Lee: all surgery have risk, but you will gain a lot benefit from the surgery.XX: will surgery improve my situation forever? Will it come back?Lee: Yes, it will be improved through life. XX: How long will the recovery progress go? Lee: It may take up to 2 years or longer for total recovery because the nerve cell growing needs longer time.Dr. Lee's confidence made me no further questions. Full recovery in 18 months and back to golfing. No pain and scar left.Neck turning angle smaller when driving, but it is worth. Safety feature by updated car models will help.Thank you, Dr. Lee.Excellent Service.
