A board-certified pediatrician for over 20 yrs, Dr. Lee sees patients at Comprehensive Community Health Centers in Los Angeles, California. She strives to deliver compassionate and exceptional medical care to all children, especially to those from underprivileged communities.

In regards to her educational background, she received her combined Medical Degree and Masters in Public Health degrees from Tufts University in 1999. She then went on to complete her internship at Babies and Children’s Hospital of New York, and completed her residency in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles in 2002. Recognizing the scarcity of pediatric psychiatrists and increasing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression since the pandemic,  Dr. Lee has recently completed a Primary Care Psychiatry Fellowship at UCI in 2023 to better service the mental health needs of the pediatric population. 

Recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP), the doctor is board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends individuals be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

On a more personal level, Dr. Lee spends her free time being a busy soccer mom to her 3 boys.
