Bio
Dr. Michele Lee grew up in Los Angeles, California, and was a competitive pianist on the international stage until she had a vision-threatening corneal ulcer from overwearing her contact lenses. She never forgot how terrified she felt when told she may lose her vision and has since devoted her life to the field of medicine and ophthalmology.
Dr. Lee graduated cum laude from Harvard University and received her M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Lee then completed her medicine internship at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital and her ophthalmology residency at Stanford University, followed by a fellowship year at UCSF in cornea and external diseases of the eye.
Dr. Lee is a board-certified ophthalmologist with experience mentoring and interviewing at the undergraduate, medical school, and residency levels. She is excited to be a part of the MedSchoolCoach team and work with the next generation of health care providers!
