"Every day I consider it a privilege to work with children and their families with neurologic disorders. Their strength and courage inspire me to do my best each day to deliver the best care possible in the clinic and in the operating room."
Dr. Amy Lee is an attending neurosurgeon at Seattle Children's Hospital. She is also an Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Dr. Lee received her undergraduate degree from the College of William and Mary. She then received her M.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She went on to complete a seven-year Neurological Surgery Residency at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine/Barnes Jewish Hospital. She then went on to complete her Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowship at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Dr. Lee is not only an accomplished neurosurgeon but a fabulous communicator. She and her team helped us navigate a very perplexing case with our daughter. They provided us with all of the information and expertise to make the right decision. Post op - Dr. Lee was very reassuring and could relate with our daughter on a level that provided her with comfort as well.
Dr. Lee is an incredible person. Not just an incredible surgeon, but an incredible person. She was a key player in saving our son's life. Thank you, Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee performed a surgery to remove a tumor in my daughter's spinal cord on 2/24/15. She's an excellent surgeon. The surgery was very successful and we think that she's not just a good doctor but a real life saver. She's also very caring and willing to listen to you. Our daughter was so lucky to have her as one of the surgeons.
When my younger son complained of a lump on his head – I thought he had just bumped it on the ceiling of the basement stairwell – he is growing so fast. I was shocked when a CT scan showed a lesion in a bone in his skull, and he needed to have neurosurgery. However, because of Dr. Amy Lee’s surgical expertise, my boy was back to normal and back to school in a matter of days. Neurosurgery can never be considered “routine”, yet because of her compassionate and skilled care, the only thing noticeably different about my son is his haircut. It is abundantly clear that she is completely devoted to her work, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Dr. Amy Lee is an excellent surgeon as well as a very approachable person with a great sense of humor. She interacts really well with us, the parents, as well as our baby girl. It's great that our daughter can have such a nice, female neurosurgeon as a role model so early in her life.
Dr. Lee was part of my infant son's surgical team for CVR to treat his craniosynostosis. She was incredibly calm and kind and explained her role to us thoroughly. We felt so lucky to have such a great team. He recovered and healed remarkably well and all the doctors are pleased with his progress so far after such an intricate procedure. I'm glad Dr. Lee will be with us for the next surgery as well. You are in good hands if she is on your team. Thank you Dr. Lee!
