Multi-talented Plastic Surgeon - Berkeley, CA
Posted by Sofia in Berkeley
I really like Dr. Lee. She is an honest, straightforward doctor who is not motivated to do procedures unless they are the best answer for you. I have gone to her for small injections such as Dysport and Restylane and also a small surgical procedure. I also consulted with her about a more major surgery, and she was very kind and honest and explained I would not benefit from it, which I really appreciated. I get the feeling other plastic surgeons would not only do any procedure, but push procedures that are unnecessary. She is very smart and pleasant and I always have a positive experience at her office.

Breast Implant Removal--Best Decision Ever! - Berkeley, CA
Posted by emilyst
Dr. Elizabeth Lee was the only doctor I interviewed who "got it" that I didn't want implants. Three other doctors tried to convince me that I would be better off with smaller implants or to do explant with a lift or smaller implants plus a lift. Dr. Lee spent an entire hour with me discussing options and truly getting a picture of what would work for me. Together we opted to go for explant only and reassess the possibility of a lift after 6 months. Dr. Lee explained the miraculous way that the skin will adapt post-removal of implant.
Tummy Tuck - Berkeley, CA
Posted by Kathryn S.
I initially visited Dr. Lee to discuss my very raised and bumpy c-section scar but, took the opportunity to talk about a possible tummy tuck as well. She was so easy, approachable and informative. She explained my options and at no time did I feel like she was pushing me in any direction. After researching other plastic surgeons in the area, I decided to have the tummy tuck and to go with Dr. Lee. Not only was there an overwhelming amount of positive feedback posted about her at various sites but, she was also incredibly personable, communicative and a good listener. The surgery went very well and recovery was just as she explained, not fun but no complications. She has worked continuously with me to ensure that my new scar does not grow like my old one. I would absolutely go back to Dr. Lee if I needed other procedures in the future.
My Experience with a Necklift - Bay Area, CA
Posted by Newnecknelly
Dr. Lee was referred to me by another doctor. I can't say enough about how fabulous my necklift experience was and is. I am in my 70's and I had a serious turkey waddle neck. The folds of skin even hung over my turtle necks. Dr. Lee did an incredible job with hardly any discomfort. Both she and her office staff were extremely wonderful and dealt with my fears and anxieties. The surgery was so much easier than I thought it was going to be and Dr. Lee was always available for my questions and concerns both before and after the surgery. In my opinion she is truly an artist and I would recommend her to anyone.
Knowledgeable and Friendly Physician, Efficient Office, Great Result - Berkeley, CA
Posted by allyf
My experience at this office was great. I live in San Francisco and this office is in Berkeley...but Dr. Lee was recommended by a friend and she was offering a laser peel special, so I thought I would give it a shot. Well worth the drive (even in traffic). This office is busy, but they process you quickly and competently from your intake paperwork to your follow-up call. I appreciate this. My consult was somewhat quick but I left informed and I was offered plenty of opportunities to ask questions and could have had more time with Dr. Lee if I needed it (In case the brief consult sounds like a negative, I should probably add I'm a nurse and not new to laser treatments so we didn't need to reinvent the whole wheel on this treatment). As far as the actual Laser peel goes, the experience was also very good and the result was much better than I anticipated. I'm very happy with my experience at this office and will recommend this treatment to friends.

From start to finish, my procedure was handled with class.

Her work results speak louder than anything I can write. She is an artist, has a magic touch and understands women. She does 'beauty' well and I could not imagine any result better than what I got with her.

Word of mouth is the only way that surgeon's reputations are enhanced (or diminished). Yellow Pages advertisements mean nothing, in fact they should be highly suspect.

A Friendly and Fabulous Doctor and Staff
Posted by Miss King
I went to Dr. L's office for a consultation regarding Latisse and walked away with so much more! Never have I felt so comfortable and at ease in a doctor's office. Dr. L and her assistant are absolutely fabulous and lacking the cold, sterile demeanor usually endured when being introduced to a new physician. I cannot say enough about their professionalism which is paired with a personal touch that bypasses the stalwart barrier between doctor and patient. I highly recommend consulting with this office for any procedure you may be considering and promise that you will walk away reassured and well informed to make the decision that is right for you.
Serious Breast Reconstruction - Berkeley, CA
Posted by lindajoycediamond2
Dr. Lee was always professional but extremely compassionate. She took time with me given my age and the complicated surgery. Her staff was also excellent. My OB-GYN recommended this doctor among others and my mother conducted interviews. Finally, my parents and I decided it was time to do something and Dr. Lee was the perfect surgeon. She was caring, very clear about my options and performed the surgery.
