MEET DR. RICHARD G. LEE

A native of Eastern Idaho, Dr. Lee attended medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. He then completed his residency in otolaryngology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, followed by a fellowship in pediatric ENT at The Children’s Hospital in Denver.

Dr. Lee’s philosophy is focused on personalized care. “I try to consider all options for each individual patient. Achieving the best outcome often includes the simplest of treatments. Other patients need specialized medical care or surgical procedures to help them feel better.” As a team player, Dr. Lee works toward improving patient outcomes by collaborating with other medical providers in the community. “I listen to the patient, the parents and other care providers about what actions they want considered.”

When he’s not providing the best possible care for his patients, Dr. Lee enjoys getting out into the great outdoors of Idaho and spending time with his family. He also plays the guitar and is an instrument rated pilot.
