Overview
One of my earliest memories was seeing my podiatrist as a young child. My doctor was caring, funny, and willing to spend time explaining to a very curious and sometimes scared child why needed custom orthotics was necessary for my painful feet. It was a wonderful relationship that I still cherish and why I feel very honored to now be on the other end of that relationship and able to provide care to my patients. Much of my decision-making is driven not only by my role as a healthcare provider but also by my experiences as a patient. I have a special interest in the treatment pathways for heel pain, ingrown nails and forefoot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, scouting out new restaurants, and trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

Central Carolina Foot And Ankle
I am a surgically trained podiatrist seeing patients of all ages for foot and ankle conditions. I utilize a conservative approach to my practice and only recommend surgery after all practical conservative treatment options have been considered. Sometimes the greatest satisfaction is working with a patient to find a nonoperative solution to a problem they thought would require major surgery. I am originally from Wisconsin and Minnesota and return to the Midwest whenever I can to see friends and family. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with my fiancée and our dog. Dr. Lee is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hammer Toe.
