About Pamela Lee, MD
I chose medicine because I wanted to make a positive impact on people's lives. Surgery is my way of doing this. I am a board-certified general and colorectal surgeon whose goal is to provide an excellent patient experience from the time that we meet in the office until the patient's surgical needs are complete. I have a great interest in robotic minimally invasive surgery and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. Robotic surgery allows my patients to have a quicker recovery and get back to what they love doing in our beautiful city. In my spare time, I enjoy all that San Diego has to offer with my husband and two young sons, playing the piano and exercising.

I am incredibly impressed with Dr Lee's punctuality and listening skills. As stated previously, my primary concern to return to this office is the inability for the scheduled appointment to remain as scheduled and the difficulty in getting any appointment, even a f/u appointment for an existing patient.
