Areas of Expertise

Surgery and sports medicine, from fingertip to knee to ankle.

Dr. Lee's practice spans upper extremity surgery, sports medicine, and advanced biologics, with particular depth in the procedures he helped pioneer and the hardware he helped design.

A doubly-trained surgeon

Most orthopedic surgeons specialize in one body region. Dr. Lee is double fellowship-trained in hand & upper extremity surgery and in sports medicine, a combination that lets him treat both the fine reconstructive work of the hand and the high-demand return-to-sport considerations of the shoulder, elbow, and knee.

He has also helped design several orthopedic implants now used by surgeons across the country, including plating systems for the hand and elbow and the anchor and internal-brace constructs used in ligament reconstruction.

PRP & Advanced Treatments

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and peptide therapy, used when they're the right tool, not when they're a marketing line. Dr. Lee was among the first surgeons in NYC to perform PRP, including for upper extremity injuries. He performs 250+ PRP procedures annually today.
