Sharon Lee

When we met Dr. Sharon Lee, she was busting her ass on a mountain of paperwork in her cramped office, Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care, about three hours after every other doctor in the metro had hung up the white coat. For Lee, donning her hospital scrubs well into the evening while calling patients and filing medical charts is all in a long day's work. While many well-intentioned doctors criticize the nation's broken health care system, Lee is one of the few who's trying to fix it by doing things differently. At her clinic, she sees patients regardless of their ability to pay. She pays herself the same salary the janitor and receptionist earn. That's right: an MD who makes $12 an hour. That frees up more funds to provide a variety of in-house services, including X-rays and minor surgery, to residents who would be pummeled by the cost of such procedures at a hospital. Thankfully, Lee is now corrupting young doctors to her way of thinking. When a group of KU Med students were looking for a space to open a free clinic, she threw open her doors. She even sets aside the sweets that pharmaceutical reps bring to her office to keep the students — and her — going strong long after the normal business day is done.

Getting any information from that office is a nightmare. Messages are left for Dr. Lee that are NEVER returned. She is arrogant, pompous, and irritating. She would be the last person I would see if I were ill.

I like Dr. Alliman, he is awesome. I have had to see Dr. Lee before, though. She started yelling at me because I have panic attacks and didn't like the effects the drug she prescribed gave me. She said that isn't one of the side effects, racing heart, dialated pupils and jitters. She made me cry and come near having a panic attack right in the exam room. I didn't say anything to Alliman because when you are uninsured, you definitely don't want to be blacklisted. So, you tend to keep your mouth shut, once you find a dr office willing to slide their pay scale.

I saw Dr. Sharon Lee on The Pitch's recommendation. I gave her the benefit of 3 visits, but I'll never go back to her. When I spoke with Dr. Lee about my health issues, as I'd discussed information intelligently with my previous physician (who moved, unfortunately), she started mocking me and throwing around a lot of medical jargon. When I told her I didn't understand, she said that was her point - that I didn't get to tell her anything; she was the doctor. She told me I didn't know anything; I didn't go to medical school. She was snooty and pompous, shaking her head and acting superior, treating me like I had a lot of nerve trying to talk to her about my own health care. I got the impression that Dr. Lee only wants patients who will feed her God-complex and not notice her insecurity. I don't think intelligent patients who want to be part of their own health care will be happy with this practice.

My comment of Dr. Lee is she was sent from heaven. She has got to be the most incredible, sensitive, professional,caring Dr. I have EVER meet. When we got news from my sister in Ms. that she had Kidney Cancer Dr. Lee was on the phone with her telling her to get to KC immediatly and she would make sure she got the best care ever for her. Not to many Dr's take on the personal attention Dr. Lee has given to 2 of my family members. God must of sent her to us!

From the bottom of my heart Dr. Lee you are the greatest!

Dr. Lee and Dr. Alliman are awesome. They try too go the extra mile for patients even if you are unable to pay they will work it out as much as they can to ensure you get seen.
