Dr. Lee or Dr. Christine as some patient affectionately calls her, is dedicated to practicing patient-centered comprehensive care, encouraging her patients to value their oral health and raising awareness about the relation of teeth to the rest of the body. She takes the time to listen to patient’s needs and then explain the reasoning behind every procedure she plans and how to avoid progression of disease in-office and at home. She aims to get to know each patient, make them laugh, and feel comfortable in her dental chair.
