Lee, Arthur F., MD FACS

At the young age of 7, Arthur Lee announced to his mother that he was going to be a doctor someday. Turns out, the notion was more than just a youngster's fantasy.

Art Lee followed his dream and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Dayton with his undergraduate degree. He went on to complete his medical degree, surgical internship and residency at the University of Cincinnati.

Dr. Lee, who sees all types of orthopaedic patients at the Anderson Township office, has been in practice for 10 years. He joined Wellington Orthopaedic & Sportsmedicine last year. "For me, surgery is the last resort, not the first course of action," said Dr. Lee, a board-certified surgeon.
An avid golfer himself, Dr. Lee treats many sports fractures. He also has a special interest in treating women with osteoporosis. "Especially through the child-bearing years, women need volumes of calcium" said Dr. Lee, who also serves as chief of orthopaedic surgery at Mercy Hospital Anderson. "It's an area that I see is horribly neglected."

In addition to these medical duties, Dr. Lee is a diplomate with the National Board of Medical Examiners. This qualifies him to serve as an independent, expert medical authority in cases of litigation.

Dr. Lee lives in Anderson Township with his wife, Caryn, and their three children.
