Daniel J. Lee MD is an orthopedic surgeon who completed a hand surgery fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and is double board certified in Orthopedic and Hand Surgery. Dr. Lee feels honored that patients allow him into their lives at their most vulnerable moments and he strives to establish a connection with each patient. Being an orthopedic surgeon affords him the unique opportunity to restore function and allow patients to resume an active lifestyle.

While Dr. Lee enjoys the mix of office-based interactions and performing surgeries, helping patients live without pain is the most fulfilling part of his career. He particularly enjoys hand surgery because it is complex and requires great precision. Dr. Lee’s specialized training and specific skill-set have prepared him to solve difficult problems that most general orthopedic surgeons don't often see. When working with patients, he exhausts all non-surgical options first before recommending surgery.

Dr. Lee is originally from Philadelphia and is a die-hard Philly sports fan, which causes him more heartache than joy. He also plays golf and loves exploring the world with his family. In 2020, he accomplished his life-long goal of competing on Jeopardy! and met Alex Trebek.

Patient Reviews

November 13, 2024
Dr Lee was great. He answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly
November 07, 2024
With the pain I continue to have the Alliance vendor for the orthotic is horrible
October 29, 2024
Good respectful staff starting from the check in desk to doctors staff!!
October 29, 2024
He should be more empathetic with the patient because, for him, it may not be anything serious, but the pain that one feels is not something others experience, and it shows little empathy towards that.
October 24, 2024
I loved Daniel Lee and the office. They were professional, quick, direct. I was in and out. It was wonderful. I would definitely go there again. I felt at ease. It was an excellent place to go.
October 24, 2024
This is my second experience with Dr. Lee. This time he treated the pain and swelling in my left hand. He quickly diagnosed the problem and suggested an injection which he quickly gave me in his office. I appreciate him agreeing to my request for a topical anesthetic to minimize the pain of the injection. In addition to that, the injection was done in less than five seconds. I also appreciate that Dr. Lee told me what to do if the problem persists.
October 22, 2024
I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Daniel Lee. He was very informative, and very peaceful, and I enjoyed my visit. He was quick once he got the procedure started, and I was in, and out of there with good time. I recommend him to my friends and my family. Thank you.
October 16, 2024
Dr. Daniel Lee is a great Orthopedic Surgeon!
October 15, 2024
Everyone was pleasant and efficient it was nice atmosphere
October 09, 2024
If MRI showed a tear in the Rotator Cuff, the appointment should have been rescheduled with the ortho surgeon I have to go see next week.
October 08, 2024
Dr. Lee was pretty good overall. He was very nice. The people there were pretty nice. My only problem is just it's very tedious with PIH, like the whole system of going to a doctor, going to an MRI scan, and then going to get what you need to do. I still have to do like three more visits before I can even fix everything that's going on. So, just the whole system itself is very tedious. But other than that, Dr. Lee and his staff, his staff members over there did pretty good.
October 01, 2024
This office is always organized and runs on time. I have never waited beyond my scheduled appt. time. Everything is explained to me in preparation for the treatment. Dr. Lee is very informative and wants to make sure you have all the information needed to make informed decisions. Staff is friendly and efficient. One of the best medical offices I go to.
September 26, 2024
Excellent service
September 24, 2024
Nice people better than the downy office
September 23, 2024
Everything was great. Everyone's personality was great. It was a good experience. Throughout the experience, the other doctors, they took close looks at my x-rays to make sure that we were doing the right thing. I just wished that the final doctor would have touched my hand. That's the only thing. I just wished it. I understand he had the x-rays and whatnot, but I just wished he would have touched my hand just to feel the deal on me, knowing that we're doing the right thing. I trusted him throughout because he was consistent with what the other doctors were saying as well. I just wished he could have put a hand on that hand just to feel it himself. Other than that, great.
September 05, 2024
Yes, being a long time patient of PIH, also of some of the physicians at PIH for ortho, I definitely put my trust in Dr. David Lee. I will be having surgery tomorrow and he did put my mind at ease. I'm very confident that he will do a great job with my surgery. Thank you.
September 05, 2024

August 26, 2024
I waited a long time to see DR. Daniel Lee but he only sees me very short time. But he explained to me very well about my right-hand issues. Thank you.
August 21, 2024

August 21, 2024

August 14, 2024
EVERYONE WAS SPECIAL TO ME AND MY HUSBAND.
August 12, 2024
Dr. Lee listened carefully and asked about my status and you can tell that he dedicates his time well.
August 09, 2024
I want to complain that the professional, since I didn't speak English and they had to interpret for me, treated me rudely and didn't give me anything. I felt humiliated, thank you.
August 09, 2024
People were very nice, Very Beautiful place, very clean place, the staff was very nice, I was very well pleased.
August 02, 2024
All the staff from the moment I checked in were all friendly & professional to include the security guard.
August 01, 2024
Dr. Lee provided me with a number of options for my care. He was very thorough in reviewing the options with me and together we chose the option t hv at seemed best at the time. I am very pleased with my experience there.
August 01, 2024
I was very pleased with the attention and care that I received.
July 26, 2024
Dr. Lee acted in a very professional manner. He took the time to listen to all my questions and concerns and answered all in a manner that I was able to understand. PIH Bloomfield has been nothing less than perfect for me when it comes to health providers.
July 25, 2024
First time visiting Dr Lee , he was attentive, kind, & explained his findings in a way I could understand. Questions asked were answered so I could understand & didn't talk above my intelligence. Offered options for treatment & did not push extreme measures. Cautious & considerate. Assurance he is here when I need him for the future. Great doc.
July 25, 2024
Dr Lee was great explaining to me everything from the beginning of my injury until the end. Also his assistant (name removed) was so friendly and helpful
July 25, 2024
My therapist treatment is taking to long This department need more staff
July 12, 2024
He did a great job and explained everything well. My hand is better!
July 05, 2024
Dr Daniel Lee was outstanding, is one of the very best Doctors, Dr Lee was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, very kind and was absolutely perfect. I feel very , very fortunate to have Dr Lee. Also, all the people in the office were very kind, very helpful and very patient. With my deep admiration and my deep appreciation to Dr Lee and his staff.
July 02, 2024
I thought the wait times were great. The attention given by the physician was awesome. And I felt he went in above and beyond to make sure I understood what was recommended. And yeah, I thought everything was great.
July 02, 2024
Too long a wait for very short time with doctor. I know he runs into complications with patients, but waiting patients should be notified immediately since that's more the norm for his practice!
June 25, 2024
setting appointment at this facility was SO MUCH easier than facility on Washington in Whittier. Have not been able to get a doctor appointment due to 3month wait!!!
June 25, 2024
The doctor was very welcoming and supportive. The office staff neglected the follow-up. I had to step out of my room to remind them that I'm still there.
June 25, 2024
What a positive experience and everyone was very friendly and helpful
June 19, 2024
Great doctor! Friendly and professional. Fixed my finger!!!
June 18, 2024
Great experience!
May 31, 2024
The doctor did not tell me how long the anesthetic would last. My hand was numb for over 24 hours. I couldn't feel my fingers. I was very disappointed.
May 30, 2024
This was my first visit so it takes more time to evaluate provider and staff. First time everyone was very cordial
May 29, 2024
Dr. Lee was very personal and efficient. He listened to my concerns and offered to resolve my issues in a timely manner. Thanks Dr. Lee!!!
May 28, 2024
Dr. Lee explained my condition very thoroughly. One problem was I had to wait 45 mins. after my scheduled appointment to see him.
May 23, 2024
Dr. Lee was very professional during my visit in all aspects of a caring doctor. Took time to explain the procedure that was needed. Made me feel very confident in him as a doctor. Someone I could trust. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. He is truly a five star doctor.
May 09, 2024
Okay, this is (PHI removed) and I was with Dr. Lee. He seemed like he didn't want to spend any time with me. He wanted to get out of there in three seconds. He could care less about anything. He just wanted to get rid of me so he could move on. And I had to pressurize him to hold him from leaving so I could get information out of him because he's like getting up. I said, wait a minute, I got some more questions. And so it was not a good experience. He showed almost no interest in me at all. He just said, looks like I got to get somewhere now. And so he put a lot of pressure on me to get rid of me quick. I came in real quick and I got out of there within probably ten minutes. I'm out of there. And he went on. So that was not a good experience. For most of my doctors I've ever been to, that was not too good.
May 06, 2024
GREAT DOC
May 01, 2024
For the first time visit ot went well.
May 01, 2024
Was treated to n a timely and professional manner and would recommend to others
April 26, 2024
I accidentally pushed the wrong button for the last question, if I would recommend my family. Yes, I meant to say yes. So, I'm not sure if that can be corrected.
April 23, 2024
Dr. Friendly and knowledgeable. Caring for my situation.
April 23, 2024
Even the security guard helped me figure out what to do and where to go.
April 23, 2024
Very good Doctor
April 19, 2024
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
April 19, 2024
Great!
April 18, 2024
The front office check in area in making an appointment on follow up are not paying attention on who they are scheduling... I was reschedule on another person information to see a different doctor... basically this was a big screw up... and it's not all staff doing this... just certain ones that like to gossip in the workplace...and not paying attention on what their doing.
April 17, 2024
Understanding to my needs.
April 12, 2024
All the people that I had contact with were very nice and helpful and answered any questions I had in a way I understood. Great experience so far. Hope to continue the journey with such a good feeling.
April 09, 2024
Dr. Lee and team were great. Thank you.
March 26, 2024
As far as Dr. Lee goes, I'm very satisfied with his help with me. What I'm most dissatisfied about this office is that it took me an hour and five minutes to get through to get a cortisone shot. And I just think that that's excessive time to wait, even though I had an appointment and was there on time. Thank you.
March 26, 2024
Best Service!! Scheduled Appointment and was seen as scheduled.
March 22, 2024
It was a great experience doctor and staff were very professional and caring
March 21, 2024
I was extremely happy with Dr. Lee's services, however, I was not happy with the staff. I had hand surgery and I called and I was in a lot of pain and I called on Thursday and Friday and no one never got back to me. I called for a prescription and no one ever got back to me. Today is a week later and still no one has gotten back to me. So the call back is terrible. Thank you.
March 21, 2024
It was all good, appreciated that he explained everything so we could understand
March 07, 2024
Great and fast service
March 06, 2024
Overall, it went pretty well. The girl that walked me back into the room in black scrubs did a very good job. My only concern was once I was in the room, the I'm assuming an MA in maroon scrubs, she did bring in the aspiration tray and all the supplies I believe to the room next door on accident instead of my room because I could hear her through the wall. And then I can hear the physician correct her that it was the wrong room. So she came into my room and then when she had me sign the consent, she wrote my right hand and it was my left hand. So I had to correct her on that. I do work in the hospital, so I was familiar with consent forms and it was incorrect. So it was corrected. Otherwise, everything else went fine with the physician. Thank you.
March 06, 2024
They saw me for my appointment in a timely manner. They were just a few minutes running late. And I met the doctor for the first time. He was gracious, knowledgeable, interested in what I had to say, listened very carefully, offered some very important and timely solutions, and it was a very good appointment. It could not have gone better. Thank you very much. Thank you.
March 06, 2024
PIH Health doctors, staff support, etc. are the best.
March 01, 2024
I work in the industry and I really like Dr. Lee. I work with hand surgeons and I know that he did the best that he could. And the best thing was actually the injection and I'm doing pretty good. And the swelling is coming down, so I would recommend Dr. Lee. Very highly.
February 29, 2024
Went to Urgent Care. X-ray showed a possible fracture. I was referred to orthopedic specialist. Looking back it would have been best to have radiologist review the images rather than wait to 6 days to see Ortho Dr.
February 29, 2024
Dr. Lee was really welcoming and heard my concerns with the issue I was having. His bed side manner is great and look forward to seeing him again.
February 27, 2024
Through a text above all, the treatment was magnificent from the moment I arrived, he took me to the office in a very efficient manner, they made the appointment for me quickly and in a very professional manner, thank you.
February 23, 2024
It was very informative and efficient.
February 23, 2024
Everyone was friendly and informative. I given full attention by the nurse and doctor.
February 22, 2024
Dr. Lee was recommended to me by a friend from church. In 2019 I had a Carpal Tunnel Release on my right hand performed by Dr. (name removed). Since then, PIH Health has added a hand specialist in the person of Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee examined me and agreed that I need to have a Carpal Tunnel Release on my left hand. That procedure is being scheduled. Dr. Lee was professional, courteous, and he diagnosed my condition with a recommendation for the appropriate treatment.
February 20, 2024
Keep doing what you're doing, don't change a thing. I appreciate all you guys do.
February 15, 2024
Appointment was on time. Scheduling was easy. Office staff are well trained, friendly, and efficient. Dr Lee is experienced, professional, and personable.
February 14, 2024

January 31, 2024
Great experience!
January 30, 2024
I like the service overall, but except I was waiting at the waiting area for so long, that was the only thing. That's it. Thank you.
January 26, 2024
Yes, I saw Dr. Lee about a week ago. It was a wonderful experience. When I called PIH, they got me in right away because I was in a lot of discomfort. His staff was wonderful. He was wonderful. He explained everything in a way that I could understand it. Yes, it was just a very, very good experience for me and I would definitely recommend him.
January 18, 2024
I had not seen Dr. Lee before this visit. He was very i congenial and explained what wrong and how he intended to try and fix the problem. I have confidence in his ability.
January 18, 2024
It's such a pleasure going to my Dr's appointment. Easy convenient, people are polite and caring. Thank you
January 16, 2024
Great office help, great doctor, no scheduling issues, was seen quickly.
January 11, 2024
My only issue with being there, not Dr. Lee, not whoever, it just took a while for me to get the doctor in to see me. That's it.
December 20, 2023
I have to go back for another treatment of my symptoms. It was called a trick finger. I got a cortisone shot, but I don't think it did the job it needs some more... insight on... my problem.
December 14, 2023
I spent 45 minutes sitting in the room waiting for the physician to come. He never came. I got up. I left. Completely dissatisfied.
December 14, 2023
The dr did listen to me
December 12, 2023
Still do not have an answer as to what is the problem...
December 07, 2023
The entire service was excellent in the first questions, I was wrong, but everything went very well, thank you.
December 07, 2023
Thank you!
December 07, 2023
Thank you for hiring such efficient and courteous members of PIH.
December 01, 2023
He's very understanding and attentive Doctor. He listened to very concerned I had. I would definitely recommend him
December 01, 2023
Great physician! Knowledgeable and caring.
November 30, 2023
This was my first visit and i was very nervous. Doctor Lee was kind and friendly and had a calming effect. He took the time to explain my condition and took the necessary test to confirm diagnosis. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needed his expertise.
