The "Bob Lee" Clinical Distinction
What makes Dr. Lee one of the most respected gastroenterologists in the Hinsdale and La Grange area?
Ivy League Foundation & Research Depth: After graduating with honors from Harvard College and earning his MD from NYU, Dr. Lee completed a highly selective fellowship at the University of Chicago, where he was awarded a three-year grant for advanced medical studies. This academic rigor allows him to bring a "university-level" diagnostic mind to a comfortable private practice setting.
