About the Doctor
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the care and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison
Dr. Bob Lee graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic-West in 1996 and comes from a family of chiropractors. Two of his older brothers graduated from the original chiropractic college, Palmer College of Chiropractic, which was founded by D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa, over 100 years ago
Dr. Lee worked as an associate doctor with his brother in the South Bay area before moving to Southern Orange County in 1998, when he became an associate doctor at a busy O.C. clinic and played a vital role in its growth and success. After 4.5 years, including over 50,000 treatments, extensive involvement in the worker's comp., personal injury, and insurance industry, Dr. Lee founded the O.C. Spine & Rehab Center in Irvine in 2004.
Dr. Lee has been involved in competitive organized sports most of his life including football, track and field, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and golf. Recreationally, he has participated in table tennis and snow and water skiing at advanced levels. Dr. Lee’s extensive athletic involvement included many sports-related injuries and hours of treatment and rehabilitation. This experience was part of his inspiration for pursuing a career in chiropractic. He knows firsthand what hurting patients are experiencing, where their pain is, and the anatomy and biomechanics involved in their injury. But more importantly, Dr. Lee knows how to heal and rehabilitate the injured area and prevent or minimize future occurrences.
He has helped many people with work and automobile injuries, sports and recreation injuries, the “I don’t know what I did…” and “I just woke up like this…” injuries, and has treated healthy people who want to stay healthy, active, and prevent future diseases. Dr. Lee’s patients include children, senior citizens, the disabled, athletes, pastors, housewives and CEOs.* see testimonials
