Meet Dr. Stephen J. Lee

“As a dentist, I am able to use my knowledge and training to help people make improvements to their oral health. I provide dentistry with a multidisciplinary approach, never forgetting the reason why I became a dentist in the first place: to work with and serve those in my community.” – Dr. Lee
