Orthopaedic surgery is full of surgeons who have one tool. Fusion. Replacement. Whatever they trained on becomes the answer to every problem. Dr. Lee’s training forced him to think differently.
His residency at Northwell Health in 2019 exposed him to the full spectrum of joint and spine pathology. What he noticed wasn’t just what surgery could fix. It was what surgery could take away from a patient’s life.
His fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco in 2020 sharpened that instinct. Through his work with pediatric spinal deformity patients at Benioff Children’s Hospital, he observed something that changed how he approaches every case. Children move. They adapt. Their bodies fight to maintain motion even under the most challenging conditions. That observation became a philosophy: motion is not a luxury. It is a priority.

That is why Dr. Lee’s first question is never how do we fix this. It is how do we fix this while keeping you moving. Arthroplasty over fusion. Hip resurfacing before total replacement when appropriate. The least invasive path that achieves a full, active outcome. Sometimes fusion or full replacement is the right answer and anatomy, severity, and patient goals all factor in. But it should be a considered decision, not a default one. In 2026, the technology exists to do better. His patients deserve that standard.
“Surgery should restore motion, not eliminate it. That is the standard I hold myself to, every single case.”

Every case begins with one question: can we preserve what is there? Arthroplasty before fusion, whenever the evidence supports it. Always.
Peptide therapy, targeted movement, nutrition, and sleep are part of every recovery plan. Patients don’t just heal with Dr. Lee. They thrive.
Yoga, breathwork, stress management, and longevity practices are integrated throughout recovery. Dr. Lee treats the whole person, not just the joint.
