The background of Dr. Lee DO:
Dr. Lee migrated from Bien Hoa, Vietnam at the age of 12 with her mother and seven siblings to join her father and a brother in Honolulu Hawaii in 1998.

Dr. Lee first attended Washington Intermediate School and excelled and graduated as valedictorian from Kaimuki High School in 1995, then honor graduated from University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2001. Dr. Lee then moved to Wynne, Arkansas with her husband and three children, to work for Forrest City Medical Center – East Arkansas Family Medicine and Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, as well as being a supervisor/collaborating physician to three nurse practitioners in their clinics (urgent care, family practice, and wound care).
Dr. Lee missed her military life after four years of medical school; therefore, she decided to serve the Oklahoma Army National Guard as a military provider. While serving with OKARNG, Dr. Lee was deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan in 2010; and mobilized to CB-WTU, Rock Island, IL in 2013- serving the wounded soldiers coming back from Afghanistan. After serving a total of 20 years in the Army National Guard, she retired from OKARNG on 15th July 2018 as a Lieutenant Colonel. Her blended family lives in the same neighborhood that she grew up in, to be close to her extended family including her mother, 7 siblings, nieces, and nephews in Kaimuki, Honolulu- which she always calls ‘HOME’!
