Ming Lee, M.D., FACS, FRCS(C)

“One of the hallmarks of VSS is the bonds and personal connections we make with our patients. I like to say – and I truly mean it when I do so – that it’s not just, for example, a hernia operation, it’s your hernia operation. Because we treat our patients as we would those closest to us, we provide not only a level of care second to none, but advice, consultation and post-operative follow up to ensure the best results possible.”
