Clement K Lee, ND

It took me a lot of time, strength, courage to write this review because of how deeply traumatized I am about my experience. This is a long review, but please read the entire thing if you are thinking of coming here for treatment.

I was under the care of Clement Lee and he not only put my life in danger, but he took financial advantage of me. His actions were unethical, greedy and should have his license revoked. I'm convinced majority of these reviews are fake by the way he treated me. It's a shame because I wanted to trust him and give him a chance because he is of the same heritage as me.

First off, he prescribed me 17 different supplements without doing any testing to see if I actually needed any of these. I also informed him of how I had limited funds of $10k to spend on treatment (I haven't worked for 2 years due to debilitating chronic illness. I have legitimate financial trauma due to being sick, which he knew). After only ONE visit, I spent a total of $4180 (tests, supplements, visit & an overpriced sauna he recommended that he got a % of).

Long story short-- the protocol he put me on was way too harsh for the state I was in and nearly put me into an adrenal crisis. I had to go to the ER. This was at the end of May and I am still recovering. I was barely able to lift
my head off my pillow. I called his office multiple times, pleading with the front desk that something was terribly wrong-- their answer was always "you're just going through detox symptoms". It was reminiscent of the times I got gaslit and dismissed by conventional medicine. After I went through my adrenal situation, I called the office informing them and they answered "you need to book another visit" which is another $400!

Not knowing what to do and feeling absolutely helpless, I turned to multiple chronic illness related Facebook groups and shared what I was going through. Several functional doctors reached out to me as a result-- I spoke with them through private message and shared my test results with them. EVERY SINGLE of them said that the protocol was way too overboard, dangerous for my condition and that what he did was extremely unethical.

I saw another functional doctor for a proper consult, and he said that I did NOT need the majority of these expensive supplements for my condition-- as a matter of fact, he told me that some of them were making me much worse. He also agreed that the protocol was dangerous, extremely greedy and unethical.

This new doctor informed me that Dr. Lee did a "shotgun approach" which is basically playing a guessing game with my illness and often times increases symptoms, incurs unnecessary costs & delays the identification of the most effective treatment. With my limited funds, my treatment should have been more precise to target my actual illness-- like prescribe me supplements that I actually NEED that would have helped me.

I also have severe ptsd from medical trauma from conventional medicine-- those with chronic illness know exactly what I'm talking about. I also had a major surgery this past January-- another trauma. And I ALSO have financial trauma. I have complex ptsd from all this that he knew about, yet still took financial advantage of me and put my life in danger. Safe to say that this experience pushed me over the edge. It took me so long to write this review because I feel frozen in my body with all of this trauma.

I'm sure I invoked fear in him because I asked the office multiple times for all my medical records related to my case & he ended up personally calling me-- I told him everything that happened including the severe retriggering of cptsd and he offered to read my test results for free over the phone to see what was going on with me. He quickly went through my bloodtests, but did not go through my mold or gi map test. I asked him if he was going to go through them, and he said the following week-- but of course I never got a call from him.

Extra credit: They even mishandled the blood draw & left me a big bruise.

Experiences like mine are the reason why naturopaths have such a bad rep for being quacks.

I will never let this go. I will continue to tell my story on every platform possible. That money to him meant nothing as he carelessly risked my life over it. I think it's important that I continue to share my story so other people won't fall into the same situation that I did.

Dr. Lee is amazing!! if you are looking for PRP with plasma or stem cell .. I wouldn't go anywhere else I know people that have gone other places that paid a lot of money or didn't get the type of service that I have received .. I feel so lucky that I was able to find him.. The pricing is very reasonable. I had a torn lateral meniscus, a torn bucket handle meniscus, and ACL completely ruptured. I had doctors telling me I was stupid for not getting surgery. I put the trust in the process and Doctor Lee and I am fully healed completely. I feel bad it's taking me so long to write this review to top it off the office. Staff is amazing

What a COLOSSAL waste of time and money. I came to Dr Lee for help with chronic pain and weight loss. I did every test, cleanse, took every pill he had me purchase, did every IV he suggested, gave myself injections and came to the office for more injections (none of which is covered by insurance). After seeing him for 6 months and spending THOUSANDS of dollars, I am in more pain, weigh more and have developed a thyroid problem from thyroid medication he prescribed that I did not need.

I've been visiting with Dr. Lee for at least five years and he's awesome. He has helped me with all sorts of problems from chronic pain to high blood pressure to insulin resistance to a lump in my breast to fertility issues to nutritional deficiencies to parasite concerns to Epstein Bar concerns to leaky gut issues and a sluggish metabolism, which could possibly be caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis. If I could afford it, I'd get him to figure out my cholesterol situation. He's innovative in the way he treats his patients and in how he thinks about wellness. He's also intuitive about what's going on with his patients as far as their health is concerned.

Wow Dr. Lee far exceeded my expectations. What a kind and knowledgeable doctor. He really knows his stuff, and is fabulous with diagnosing even very complex issues. Even though his specialty is joint regeneration, he is a Naturopathic Doc extremely knowledgeable about all ailments and how to actually fix them, not band aid them like conventional MDs. Five stars!

This review is an enthusiastic 5 stars.
TLDR review:
Could barely walk from torn ligaments injury, 24 hours after Ozone and PRP, gained near full strength.

In-Depth Review:
I came into Dr Lee's office with severe pain and weakness in my left ankle from a basketball injury I suffered approximately 6 weeks before (3 torn ligaments). The best gauge of my injury was the exercise bike, and before going to Dr Lee I was unable to do it for more than 5 minutes, after which I would get a sudden onset of pain, weakness, and swelling that would force me to stop.
I elected to do ozone injections on the advice of Dr Lee, and decided to do PRP as well because if its good enough for Kobe Bryant I figured it was good enough for me. In order to do PRP Dr Lee drew my blood, put it in a centrifuge, and then prepared it to be injected. It was pretty neat to see this procedure in action, as I have read about it for years and always assumed it to be outside of my price range.
Dr Lee numbed the ankle and warned me it would hurt a little bit. The injections lasted less than 5 minutes. Dr Lee told me the ankle would swell for 24 hours, but that I would begin to heal much quicker and would be feeling better shortly.
THIS WAS QUITE AN UNDERSTATEMENT: 48 hours later I got on the exercise bike, 5 minutes passed by, then 10, 20, once I got to an hour my ankle still experienced no pain. It felt miraculous almost.
So the bike test has been a resounding success. In terms of walking, I am able to go farther distances with little discomfort. I now am even able to do some lite jogging. I am mentioning this, because the timeline I got from my orthopedist had lite jogging 6 more months down the line.
In summary I highly recommend Ozone and PRP therapy administered by Dr Lee. I am so happy with my results, and I still can't believe how what looked like a chronic and long term injury has turned into an almost fully healed injury in such a short time frame.

Lastly I would like to highlight how the whole office experience at Optimal Health and Wellness is awesome. The staff are kind and welcoming, and very well informed. The Dr saw me at the time of my scheduled appointment (this is becoming so rare these days!), and payment was reasonable (a down right bargain given my results) and seamless. And Dr Lee has excellent bedside manner and high EQ. He really cares for his patients and it shows.

I was referred to Dr.Lee by a friend who had successful treatment by him.

I was training for a half ironman and had a whole mess of aches all over from chronic pain and excessive training: shin splints, shoulder strain, knee pains and neck aches. I was very skeptical at first, I've never heard of prolotherapy and I'm completely frightened by needles. Dr. Lee is very understanding, thorough and patient, he explained what the treatment in great detail. It is definitely frightening the first time and painful, but it definitely works. The first few times I had to really talk myself into coming back for more shots, but now I'm excited to feel better.

In no time I was able to feel better then I did before and started referring my friends for treatment as well. Feel free to PM me if you want to know more about my experience.

If I could live here, I totally would!!!

I've been coming here for a few weeks now.. getting treatment for my neck, TFL and IT band. I'm a marathon runner and fitness fanatic.. so I put my body through a lot of stress, wear and tear. I had to stop running about 2 months ago because of knee and hip pain. Not being able to run was soooo depressing... I was just popping Advils, foam rolling, getting massages, icing.. doing everything I could, but wasn't getting well soon enough. I have a marathon to run in October! THEN, of course, as I'm healing from my injuries, I fall downstairs running away from a giant cockroach and sprain my ankle. -___- I'M A HOT MESS!!!!

I know Dr. Lee because we went to college together. Extremely nice guy! :) I came into his office because he said he could help me get well so I can start running again. I received prolotherapy on my sprained ankle and deep tissue massages on my ankle and hip. 2 weeks later, I was at the track running again! I think he has magic hands? Nike Women's Marathon, I'm comin for ya.

Thanks Dr. Lee! I'm coming back for treatment tomorrow. :)

I recently saw Dr. Lee for what had been diagnosed by my Kaiser doc as "bursitis". The kaiser doc insisted that I take antibiotics even after drawing fluid out of my knee that clearly wasn't infected. I refused the antibiotics and went to Dr. Lee who simply drained the fluid and injected liquid ozone into my knee. Within a few hours the swelling was gone and my knee was back to normal! Woo Hoo! Dr. Lee is awesome. I didn't have to take unnecessary antibiotics and my knee healed in record time.

I've known Dr. Lee since college and first sought his help when I hurt my neck doing something stupid. During that first visit, I mentioned that I have had stomach issues for as long as I can remember but had been seeing gastro specialists to treat it. Dr. Lee recommended that I test for food intolerance and it turns out that I'm intolerant to basically everything I love to eat! My sister had the same issues as me and found out she's intolerant to a lot of food too. It's been a difficult journey having to abstain from the foods we love (and we still "blame" him for our suffering) but the stomach pains have been MUCH more tolerable and controlled. I even lost a lot of weight when I was strict on my diet.

My sister and I still regularly come in to get adjusted and to fix other random ailments (which I seem to have a lot of). I definitely feel more relaxed and more pain-free after leaving his office. I would definitely recommend others to check it out!
