Pediatric Dentist
Part of the practice family with a quiet warmth and a gift for putting nervous kids and parents at ease. Trained in pediatric dentistry with a focus on preventive care and special health care needs.
Board-Certified Anesthesiologist
Dr. Adams and Dr. Hurng have asked Dr. Edwin Lee, M.D. to help take care of your child in the office with anesthesia. Dr. Lee's goal is to provide your child with the safest level of medical care in the comfort and convenience of your pediatric dentist's office.
Office-based anesthesia is a unique subspecialty in the field of anesthesiology. The State of California, the California Medical Board, and the California Board of Dental Examiners carefully regulate the qualifications of anesthesiologists in the dental office setting as well as the routine and emergency equipment that must be available on-site. Dr. Lee uses the same monitors that are used in hospital operating rooms and he will be right next to your child for the entire procedure.
Dr. Lee has been in private practice since 1987. He obtained his B.A. from UCLA, M.D. from UC San Diego, completed his medical internship at the University of Hawaii, and his anesthesiology residency at UC Irvine. In medical school he was a UC Regents Scholar (one of six in a class of 128). During residency, Dr. Lee was one of three doctors selected (from more than 200 residents in all specialties) for membership in the medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha (medical equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa). He is board certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology and has more than 28 years of hospital-based experience in pediatric, cardiac (open heart procedures), thoracic, vascular, trauma, neurosurgical, obstetric, and general anesthesia.
Dr. Lee has provided anesthesia for pediatric patients for more than 30 years and most of his current patients are children.
