Overview

I feel very blessed to have a profession that allows me to serve patients with both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the head and neck. As a head and neck surgeon, I carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment — working with our team to maximize the chance for cure while maintaining the highest quality of life. As a physician, my approach to patient care includes addressing one's physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs and well-being. My research endeavors strive to improve the care we provide to patients with head and neck cancers. I have had a research program in tumor immunotherapy. I am active in addressing global health needs, being involved with regular humanitarian mission trips throughout the world. I am also active in training the next generation of surgeons that are able to address and solve challenges in an ethical and virtuous way. I have, along with my colleagues, developed and instituted a virtue-based approach to residency training that will meet this need. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids in a variety of activities.

Dr. Lee is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Basal Cell Skin Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Angiosarcoma of the Scalp, Melanoma, Tongue Cancer, Tissue Biopsy, and Myringotomy.

As an oculoplastic surgeon, I am an ophthalmologist trained specifically in the management of eyelid, eye socket and tear duct disease. This includes droopy eyelids, lumps and bumps around the eyelids, skin cancers, and orbital tumors, among other conditions. Oculoplastic surgeons bring a unique perspective to eyelid and orbital surgery, as we are trained first as eye experts before specializing in the area around the eyes. Although oculoplastics is a surgical field, I prioritize the desires and symptoms of each of my patients, and strongly consider the risk to benefit ratio of a potential surgery. I am not in a rush to operate without a compelling reason. I moved to Durham from the northeast and have thoroughly enjoyed living here. I enjoy playing tennis, eating at local restaurants, and exploring the mountains of western Carolina with my family. Dr. Liss is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Basal Cell Skin Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Ptosis, Eyelid Drooping, Basal Cell Skin Cancer, and Eyelid Bump.
