He trained at the University of Chicago for an internal medicine internship, at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital for an anesthesiology residency, and then at Mayo Clinic in Rochester for an interventional pain medicine fellowship.

He is the only board-certified pain physician in the region, and additionally earned double board-certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology. He is double-board certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine. Dr. Lee emphasizes that pain is a subjective experience, and thus, when a patient reports pain, she or he does indeed have pain. Many painful conditions arise from arthritis, surgery, accident, cancer, diabetes and other health issues. He will tailor treatments for each patient.
