Mr Edward Lee is a consultant Ophthalmologist and Surgeon practising at a number of private hospitals around London, including in Ashtead, Croydon, and North Cheam. His NHS base is the Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, where he is the College Tutor and lead for training.

The doctor studied at Oxford University for his undergraduate training, which he completed in 1999. During his time at Oxford, he won several prizes and accolades, including the Open Academic Scholarship from Brasenose College.

Dr Lee is an outstanding professional with excellent conduct. Very patient, polite, considerate with great listening and explanation skills. I felt very comfortable taking my father for an appointment with Dr. Lee and we left knowing we are in good and safe hands.

Mr Lee has done cataract surgery on both of my eyes and I have been very pleased with the result. He is very professional, clearly very highly qualified and always takes the time to make sure you understand everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
