Hobbies and Interests
After graduating from Union College in Schenectady, New York and Albany Medical College in Albany, Dr. Lee completed an Internal Medicine Residency at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine and an Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition Fellowship at The University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. Dr. Lee then joined the faculty at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans for three years before joining Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in April of 2000.
Clinical Positions
Dr. Lee is director of the Primary Prevention Lipid Clinic (PPLC). The mission of the PPLC is to improve the quality of care provided to Kelsey-Seybold patients with diabetes and dyslipidemia who don’t have a history of cardiovascular disease. The PPLC is also designed to help patients with difficult-to-treat dyslipidemia, a disruption in the amount of lipids in the blood, reach their targeted cholesterol goals. He also currently serves on the KSC Diabetes Advisory Committee and the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic Quality Steering Committee.
On Becoming a Doctor
Dr. Lee’s college friends were quite persuasive about getting him to volunteer at a hospital. So during his junior year, he switched from engineering to pre-med. Now, most of them are also physicians.
Dr. Lee is a member of the American Endocrine Society, American Diabetes Association and the American College of Physicians.
Outside of work, Dr. Lee and his wife, Trang, enjoy caring for and participating in their two sons, Eric and Andy’s school and recreational activities. They enjoy traveling to Europe, National Parks and visiting families in various cities in the United States. Dr. Lee also bikes and plays tennis.
