“Tears of Joy ”

Dear Dr. Lee,

I know I have told you in person but I wanted to send you a note of great thanks and appreciation. You were the first doctor to really listen to my concerns and who really wanted to help me.
I had started fertility treatments in April of 2004 and stopped in January 2007. 2007 was a very sad and lethargic year for me. I just did not feel right, could not shake my depression, and absolutely could not motivate myself to much of anything. My relationship with my husband, although strong, was certainly tense (mostly for him, because I was too sad to really notice). During this time I certainly did not feel very feminine at all, not only was I unable to get pregnant but I really did not feel very “girly” either. After meeting with you in April 2008 and having a hormone panel completed, you indentified in 2 months what other doctors dismissed for years – I was greatly deficient in several hormones and vitamins, and I had Hypothyroidism. I think I actually cried tears of joy when you told these things, because it proved I was not crazy for feeling the way I had been feeling for so long.
After six months in your great care I am feeling better than I have since my twenties. My husband, family. and friends have also noticed a huge difference in my personality, for the better. I have greater control over my emotions and am much more focused and motivated to get things accomplished.
Thanks you so much for really wanting to help me. I am forever thankful.

“A Walking Miracle”
Dearest Dr. Lee,

I want to send my sincerest thank you for taking care of me when I most needed it. I don’t know if you remember when medicare asked you how long you expected me to live, your response was “I fully expect her to live a long and healthy life”. I have carried that with me every day. I call my self “a walking miracle” and I give thanks to your care!
Blessings,

“Bioidentical Hormones Changed My Life”
Hello!
My “journey” began when my husband came home from work one Friday, sat down in the chair, and gently said, “Honey, is it possible that you could be in menopause?” That dreaded word…MENOPAUSE! I set up the first possible appointment with my doctor. If I was showing signs of an attitude change I wanted to address it quickly.
A blood test quickly confirmed that I was “post menopausal”. I had been on birth control pills without the once a month break, so I wasn’t having periods anyway. (I was making ovarian cysts so this was the remedy.) Not too long after I went off the BCP’s I started experiencing TERRIBLE symptoms!!! My bed was wet from sweat during the night – I frequently had to change clothes and put towels on the bed. I was having warm flashes (not really hot flashes), but the worst thing was the incredible pain I felt in every fiber of my body! I truly thought I had fibromyalgia, or something like that. It was HORRIBLE!! I would sit in a chair and moan from the pain – ibruprophen didn’t touch it.
My family doctor recommended that I meet with the Pharmacist at Leesburg Clinic who was working with Dr. Lee. Very soon after that she saw that my symptoms were very advanced so she sent me to Dr. Lee. BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES CHANGED MY LIFE!!! First I want to say that Dr. Lee was the first doctor in a very long time who truly HEARD ME! He took my suffering very seriously and put me on an aggressive plan to help. Not long after starting this program of using the Estrogen Cream in the AM and the Progesterone at night, my symptoms completely left!! I just can’t tell you what a blessing Dr. Lee has been to me! He has really worked hard to treat my symptoms. I love the way he gives me a ‘range’ of cream that I can use based on my symptoms – he allows me to monitor my symptoms and treat them, within a specific range, to the degree I need to treat them.
Another WONDERFUL thing about the progesterone is the weight-loss effect it seems to have! Dr. Lee explained to me that most of the weight women gain in menopause is actually fluids! The progesterone has kept that at bay, plus it helps me sleep at night.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Lee, and about his method of treating menopausal symptoms. I feel great and am deeply grateful to God that He led me to Dr. Lee.

“Dr. Lee Has Helped Me More Than I Could Ever Explain”
My sincere heartfelt thanks are extended to Dr. William Lee for the wonderful care I have received in this past year. I have been to many doctors in my never ending search for my weight problem. Most doctors seem to think that the only cause for being overweight is a direct result from over eating. This however, has never been my situation. I have always eaten the proper foods and amounts…..and the weight would continue to go up along with high blood pressure and severe numbness in my hands. Dr. Lee listened with great care and concern to my health issues, and after very thorough testing discovered that I have hypothyroidism along with hormonal imbalances which for years have prevented me from losing weight. The numbness in my hands was due to a lack of B12. The first office visit that I had with Dr. Lee, I remember showing him a list of all of the medicines that I was currently taking….he read over the list…and said…in his kind and calm way…”I feel that we can get you off of some of these medicines” The medicines as I learned from Dr. Lee, were just masking my health issues, and were not being directed to the source of my problems.
It has been a year since I began my visits to Dr. Lee….I have lost over 35 pounds, my blood pressure is normal, and the numbness in my hands is gone. I have energy! I was also dependant on an inhaler four times a day. I have not needed to use the inhaler for a little over a year now. Five of the medicines on my original list I brought to Dr. Lee on that first visit….I no longer need to take.
Dr. Lee has helped me more than I could ever explain. Dr. Lee is just a phone call away, and is always available for my questions, which is such a great source of comfort.
Thanks be to God……and to my dear friend Dr. William Lee
Kindest Regards,

M. B.

“The Lee Clinic Saved My Life”
Dr. William Lee and The Lee Clinic saved my life. I am a recovering alcoholic with social anxieties and major depression. I have been working with a psychiatrist over the past three years, while getting very few positive results. My psychiatrist has had me try a variety of anti-depressants and anxiety reducing medications. I have experienced side effects of motion sickness, excessive drowsiness, insomnia, jitters, hand twitching, weight gain, and constipation, while still suffering from severe depression and social anxieties.
On my first visit to Dr. Lee, I filled out a questionnaire and Dr. Lee talked with me about my responses. Dr. Lee then prescribed three lab tests to evaluate my hormones levels. Once the test results came back, Dr. Lee took the time to review the results, explaining to me where my body showed either depleted, normal, or excessive differences from typical adults. Based on my lab results, Dr. Lee was able to make recommendation which helped me restore my body and my life. Within a month, I was feeling better about my self than I have felt in years.
Thank you, Dr. Lee and The Lee Clinic

“The Very Next Day…I Had No Pain”
Since my first treatment with Dr. Lee’s Lipoderm Treatment things are starting to change. I have a condition called NASH, which is basically fatty liver disease. My first and most amazing feeling is that fact that my liver pain has not been near as bad. The very next day after my first treatment I had no pain in the liver area at ALL. This is a big thing for me, since I’ve suffered with this condition for about the last 8 years. How wonderful not to have the pain. The pain has continued to be very light or not at all.
Also, my clothing has become loose fitting in the area of treatment. Believe me there is a difference in just a few inches of fat. I hope to continue to lose the fat and inches with the help of Dr. Lee’s Lipoderm Treatment. Not to mention hopefully cure the fatty liver disease that is causing my pain.

“I Became a New Man”
Dr. Lee:
The following is a testimonial from a man’s point of view, having received treatment from Dr. William Lee, MD.
I first visited Dr. Lee in Winchester in 2005. At the time, I was overweight, depressed, and suffering from a feeling of general gloom and doom. I was, in essence, Mr. “The Glass is Half-Empty.” As a man (like all men, typically too proud or frightened to visit the doctor, much less admit there is anything wrong) I begrudgingly went and had my hormones tested. I was at a state where I was pretty much desperate for any sort of relief. Of course, I was suspicious from the start – after all, wasn’t the way I was feeling the way men were SUPPOSED to feel? Dark, grudging, moody, angry, and bereft of emotion?
Anyway, my test results came back and low and behold, my testosterone levels were lower than normal. And so I started the journey of rejuvenation, using what Dr. Lee calls “natural materials.” And that is exactly what they are. It is basically bringing the body back into its natural hormonal balance.
After some time, my body began to change. I lost weight, and my muscle tone became more defined. Most of all, I had developed a “can-do” attitude toward life. My self-confidence was boosted tremendously. I felt stronger, more enthusiastic about life. I had PURPOSE. It didn’t happen overnight, but I was patient. My patience paid off.
In time, I became a new man. There is no other way to describe it.
I went from an overweight and depressed person who couldn’t see living past the age of forty to a fit, happy male who lives every day to its fullest and enjoys the positive (and negative!) things that life has to offer.
Three years later, and I am still feeling better than ever. I am 36 years old, and am in better shape – physically, emotionally, and overall, than I’ve ever been in my life. Ever. Including high school!
My investment of time and energy into Dr. Lee’s hormone replacement therapy has been, in my opinion, one of the most important investments of my entire life. I see no end in sight, no reason whatsoever to stop.
Dr. Lee keeps a DETAILED history of my progress – and even three years later, we are still working out the minor details. Through periodic blood work and my own day-to-day feelings and experiences, we’ve just about got things tweaked to where they’re supposed to be. It’s actually fun, performing this maintenance. Because, at the end of the day, I’m doing it for ME.
Whenever I run across a man who is exhibiting similar symptoms to those I experienced for most of my life, I tell them, “Get your testosterone checked!”
Having low testosterone levels DOES NOT mean you are less of a man! It only means your body is out of balance. Do we just neglect our cars when the front end gets out of alignment? No! And that’s our CARS. Our bodies are so much more important, aren’t they?
Get your levels checked! Start bringing your body back into balance. You will feel better because of it.
I am living proof.

“I’m 62 years old and I feel great!”
I’m 62 years old and I feel great! It wasn’t always that way. For the past 15 years or more I have been overweight (5′4″ and 200 lbs.) and extremly tired. I felt as though I was on a downhill spiral of gaining weight, always tired and depressed because of the way I looked and felt.
April, 2008 I went to see Dr. William Lee at the Lee Clinic in Winchester, Va., within 2 months of my initial visit I was feeling better, started to lose weight, as he had said I would. I now walk 2 miles daily, lost 15 pounds and instead of depression I am so optimistic about my future. I truly did not know how bad I felt until I started feeling better. And the best part of all this progress is…No Drugs!!!!!

“Running at Full Speed”
I am like you. I was concerned about using Bio-Identical Hormones. I had questions like does it really work and will it help me feel better? I decided to give it a try. Now I know that they do a great job! Doctor Lee delivered this benefit and much more for me. He helped me understand how my body works and what I need to do in order to get it up and running at full speed. I was so depleted in so many areas and it was never brought to my attention by other doctors. Doctor Lee took the time to get to know me and my body and then we made a plan and put it in effect. I can feel the difference it has made in my life. I have more energy, control over my moods, less headaches, loss 20 pounds and less anxiety.
I highly recommend that you use him if you want these same benefits.

“Nearly All My Symptoms are Gone”
After over 10 years of suffering from anxiety and depression, and over a year of experiencing severe PMS, I was desperate to find someone who could help me. I had been to countless psychiatrists and counselors, none of whom could help me. I was literally feeling suicidal.

I found out about Dr. Lee through the kindness of a stranger in a store, and I can say that Dr. Lee has changed my life. Unlike the psychiatrists, Dr. Lee to an active roll in helping me figure out the roots of my problems instead of trying to mask the problems with antidepressants.

It took about one year, but I can say that nearly all my symptoms are gone. Through a combination of supplements and bio-identical hormones, I am a new person. I am happy, energetic, and no longer suffer from PMS.
