ENT & Allergy Specialists of VA

Dr. James Lee had me in and out with such precision, care, and compassion. The way he was able to thoroughly explain my condition and how to provide holistic care, not just giving me a prescription for something and writing me off, just made me feel so valued and seen. His positive yet realistic, professional demeanor was refreshing. I look forward to my next appointment with him. I feel confident in the care that I received and my treatment plan. If you are looking for a doctor that can help you get to the ROOT cause of your condition, schedule an appointment with him. You’ll be glad you did.

Review regarding Dr. James J. Lee: I was in here for less than five minutes and felt very dismissed. I was experiencing vertigo and dizziness that was confirmed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and with that diagnosis the symptoms come and go. I told him I was experiencing serious symptoms two weeks ago, but can only schedule with him two weeks out. He said next time it comes up to try and ‘get lucky’ with scheduling and see him when the symptoms are there. I showed him a video of my eyes flicking while experiencing the dizziness, and only then did he seem to understand a bit, but repeated the same. I had been experiencing bppv for years and let him know I had been managing successfully at home with the epley maneuver — the only treatment for this — but due to how bad it was affecting my functionality, I decided to come in after being referred by my primary care doctor. Again, two weeks ago. I figured I would see him knowing there is not much for treatment, but to receive more information or to learn more. But I was dismissed, it was heavily implied I was doing the manuver the wrong way, and made to feel like I was wasting time. Dr. Lee does not have bedside manners, is condescending, and I feel scammed a little bit. Don’t go here, there’s other ENTs that will provide better care.

Dr. Lee made me feel very uncomfortable during my visit. When I asked questions about my condition, I felt dismissed and spoken to in a way that made me feel unintelligent rather than informed. The appointment felt extremely rushed — he spent most of the time typing, spoke only briefly, and left the room within a few minutes. I wasn’t given a real opportunity to ask follow-up questions or fully understand my situation. I left the office feeling confused, unsupported, and disappointed by the lack of professionalism and bedside manner.

I highly recommend Dr. James Lee. I had my deviated septum fixed and he and his staff were wonderful throughout the process. They explained everything and let me know what recovery would look like. The procedure has dramatically improved my quality of life.

I recently traveled over an hour from West Virginia to see Dr. Lee at ENT and Allergy Specialists of Virginia after reading the outstanding reviews online—and I can confidently say the trip was absolutely worth it. From the very first consultation, I knew I had found the right ENT specialist. During my initial visit for a deviated septum evaluation (septoplasty), I mentioned to Dr. Lee that I had been dealing with frequent nosebleeds. Without hesitation, he identified a problematic blood vessel and was able to cauterize it right there during the same appointment. The procedure was quick, precise, and immediately gave me confidence in his skill and expertise. We moved forward with scheduling a septoplasty combined with a bilateral turbinate reduction. On the day of surgery, Dr. Lee met us at the surgery center, walked me through everything, and before I knew it, I was waking up from anesthesia with both procedures successfully completed. The first few days of recovery weren’t exactly pleasant—as expected—but on day three, Dr. Lee removed the splints and packing, and the relief was incredible. Now, almost a week post-op, I can finally breathe properly through my nose for the first time in decades. After years of sinusitis, rhinitis, and countless disappointing experiences with ENT doctors in Maryland and West Virginia, the difference Dr. Lee has made is truly life‑changing. My experience with Dr. Lee was nothing short of exceptional. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care set a new standard for what an ENT experience should be. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, Dr. Lee—outstanding job!
