Andy Lee, MD

My patient care philosophy as a thoracic surgeon is centered on delivering technically excellent, evidence-based care while prioritizing the individual goals and values of each patient. I strive to ensure that patients fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options, empowering them to participate actively in decision-making. I am committed not only to achieving the best possible surgical outcomes, but also to providing compassionate, continuous care throughout the patient’s journey—from initial consultation through recovery and long-term follow-up. I value collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and believe that trust, transparency, and empathy are as essential as surgical skill in achieving the best outcomes.

The most rewarding part of being a provider is the opportunity to walk alongside patients throughout their entire journey—from the initial consultation, through surgery, and into recovery. Being able to see a patient return for a postoperative visit disease-free is incredibly meaningful, as it reflects not only the success of the operation, but the trust and partnership built along the way.
