Dr Sue Lee is the Most Compationate Dr I have ever met. I had a severe injury by falling backwards from  steps and completely broke my right wrist on the eve of  Chrismas eve. Since it was during Christmas season, I couldn't be seen by any orthopedic surgeon nowhere including at ER. But miraclulusly next day on the Christmas eve, I was able to reach  Dr. Lee even on her off day and she came to her office in Einstein hospital 
and  gave me a initial emergency treatment and prescriptions. Then she arranged for an earliest schedule for a surgery needed and performed it in a few day for me. Dr Sue Lee is not only a great hand surgeon but also has a such a caring heart as a top doctor. After about 10 month of healing time, now my wrist has returned to full function without any complications and pain. I really appreciate her being there for such a critical time like an angel. And I highly highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who need best orthopedic cares on hands. Thank you again Dr. Lee!  Have a very merry Christmas this year!
