Dr. Simon Lee is a USCIS Designated Civil Surgeon who serves the very need of Green Card applicants' for the obtainment of their I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. He is an incredibly efficient and frank communicator who would provide you with all the information you are required to know as well as the vaccines, and the very delivery of the Report itself in a matter of just a few days, in a sealed envelope which, you as a Green Card applicant are required to submit with your I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Your blood and urine samples are also collected by conversationally supportive nurses who act as literal catalysts towards the finalization of the time of your visit, making it super comfortable and STEADILY FAST for you! The time of my permanent residence application to the USCIS was in 2020 when the pandemic caused a delay in the USCIS's processing times which quite unfortunately resulted in a letter that I have received from them, letting me know that my initial I-693 was already outdated by the time they started with the processing of my application and so, I was asked to RENEW & RESEND IT; which at first felt frustratingly burdensome, as you would agree!.. ...however, once I paid a re-visit to Dr. Simon Lee's super efficient office, he concluded everything literally with the speed of LIGHT, which eventually MADE ME FEEL GRATEFUL - ONE MORE TIME - FOR HAVING CHOSEN HIM for the delivery of that particular service to myself and thus, the USCIS. Thank you Dr. Simon Lee and HIS entire office & lab staff. read more

BEWARE: Dr. Simon k. Lee MAY DISCHARGE YOU ABRUPTLY AT HIS CHOICE!! After my insurance company and I had a 3-way phone call with Dr. Simon K. Lee's clinic inquiring his billing procedures and accuracy of his Billing statement. Only an hour or so after Dr. Simon K. Lee sent me an e-mail to discharge me as a patient. read more

Very fast and efficient immigration medical exam for a family of four. Beautiful price $180 per person. It took a week with blood work and filling out all 4 forms. read more

Dr. Lee has been our primary physician for a few years. He is gentle, caring, thoughtful, and empathetic. Of course he is a good doctor whom I trust a lot. He has a busy schedule but he carefully listen to you and answers my questions and concerns, I strongly feel I can trust him. I also like the lady NP (nurse practicer) a lot, caring, attentive, and understanding. She is such a Gem. I got a lot of help from her. After seeing Dr Lee and NP Ms. Zhao( does my memory services me good), I feel much relieved! Woking as a front desk at a busy medical office is not easy. The front desk lady Meggie is the same, she is helpful and understanding. My appointment had been changed a few times because of my personal schedule conflict. Every time I called Meggie, she did her best to accommodate me to make everything worked out perfectly. read more

Glad to have found them on yelp. Went for immigration medicals and they know what they are doing. Paper work provided at the end was thorough. Getting an appointment was easy. Called in on a Friday and got a Monday am appointment. The front desk was quick to check in and the wait time wasn't long. Don't expect great customer service at the reception. They were as nice as they can be for the amount they charge. A blood test was done on site and results came back in less than 2 days. Coming to Dr.Lee, he was very soft spoken and answered all my questions and had a really nice bedside manner. Highly recommend and carry cash if you don't want to get charged extra for using CC. read more

Terrible front desk staff. Rude and inefficient. Kept you waiting indefinitely without explaining why or setting the right expectations.

He was recommended by my Harvard Dr.Ho who retired( also a think tank MIT )..I AM SO GRATEFUL..my husband is a critical diabetic case..and Dr Lee monitors him 24/7..with an equipment he provided..for the 1rst time I can rest..I can take a breather..I know my husband is safe..Dr. Lee is a very wise-wise.. dr..he is a think tank who's thought process is very unique..he goes beyond the medical book..I am a daughter of a professor of neurosurgery.. who constantly created new approaches to surgery that were shared internationally..He is like my father..training and inteligence is never enough..there has to be this inner wisdom ..very unique..this inner guidance..which allows quick assertive cross reference-data..enabling him to make quick accurate desicion in cases like my husband read more

USCIS Medical Exam: Needed a 693 on super urgent basis (Same day) and Dr. Lee's team was able to accommodate me for same day and I was in/out in 30 mins with completed 693. Very professional and courteous. I am based out of Sunnyvale hence requested appointment in Burlingame office and it worked out well. Recommended to other coworkers as well who need i693 read more

I don't know how they got such high reviews. I booked an appointment. Went there on time. Knocked on the door. Then no one opened. I knocked so many times. Heard at least two people inside. One was actively picking up phone calls. After knocking for like 5 different times, I called their number, and it got hung up. I was honestly so pissed and left. I would rather spend more time figure out a new appointment elsewhere then having them take my money. read more

Terrible horrible front desk staff! The front desk staff doesn't explain the long wait. There's no such thing as appointment because the wait is long. They get the immigration patients go through first even without an appointment. The wait room is overly crowded. The examination room is dirty and messy. The doctor is nice, friendly and ok. The quality it care for assessment is mediocre not through. Just vital signs and weight and basic standard reassessment. Needs improvement on their appointment times. read more

USCIS Medical Exam: I booked an appointment two weeks before my Greencard interview and I'm so glad I chose this place. During my appointment I noticed several other visa-related patients also visited, it's clear these guys deal with a large number of USCIS Medical Exam patients. As a result they're efficient and educated in the process. This is like a one-stop-shop for USCIS Medical Exam appointments. Tips: - Bring passport - Bring insurance card if you have it - Bring vaccination history - Your results will be ready within a week, leave time for this. - Don't judge by appearance, this place is professional and the lab testing is super-clean! - Bring your paperwork if you're worried about credentials being recorded incorrectly - You can use cash or card, they accepted card on my visit read more

Came here last week for my USCIS medical exam People here are wonderful staff Are very friendly office is clean got my paper work back 5 days later plus a copy of it I'm very happy I found this place read more

My reasons to go to Dr Lee: * He's approved by USCIS * He has good Yelp review * I needed an appointment really fast * I needed an affordable solution since it seems like Kaiser doesn't have any USCIS approved physicians... My experience: * This is real Chinatown, so yes it looks scary at first, especially since you definitely doesn't want to end up in a sketchy situation for such an important matter. But don't be scared by the building facade, the old elevator or the tv show looking waiting room. * Dr Lee and his staff are pretty welcoming and professional. * I lacked explanation regarding the whole process but I could have asked more questions. * I paid $370 for the whole medical exam, 3 vaccins including the flu one and on-site blood testing ($60) The process / My advice: * Make an appointment, probably on Wednesday if you're in the city. * Go there with your USCIS forms, your passport, your insurance number and your vaccins certificate. * Give everything to the counter, they will only keep the first 2 pages of the USCIS forms. * Dr Lee will quickly exam you (15min) * He will also vaccin you if necessary (sit tight, I got my 3 shots in the same arm in less than a minute haha.) * Get your blood tested next door (makes it easier and it's pretty quick. You will pay for your consultation before blood testing. Don't forget the receipt.) * Come back a week after to get your sealed USCIS forms and your vaccin certificates. There probably are places offering a better experience, but if you want something fast, and affordable because your insurance is lame, then don't hesitate to go to Dr Lee. read more

As many other reviewers have mentioned, this is a solid spot for your USCIS medical examination. I called a couple of other places and they quoted $400+ for just the exam (not including shots) but Dr. Lee's office offers the examination for $180 and if you have insurance it will probably cover the shots you need. I had to re-do the exam because the previous one had expired while I was waiting for my interview. If you've done your medical examination before, make sure you bring a copy of your previous medical exam so you don't have to get additional shots. The examination itself was very quick and there's a lab right next door for the blood/urine tests. read more

This is my second time going to Dr. Lee for my Green Card medical examination... thanks U.S. Government for being so slow that I needed another one(!) Another solid visit - very efficient and no messing around. Since he saw that I had already been in and had my injections last time, I just got a flu jab and a blood test and it "only" cost me $200 with insurance. One thing I wanted to make known on here though is that Dr. Lee's office now takes credit card payments. read more

Went to Dr Simon Lee for a medical exam. The process was quick and affordable. If you have insurance, the total cost with vaccinations and bloodwork was $290. I called other civil surgeons and majority were 2x more. While we were there, there were several other people getting the same exam. He has an office in Burlingame as well and is only in SF couple times a week. read more

Great service at a great price, there's a reason this is the top result. If you're looking for a solid green card interview and are trying to minimize costs (you should, this is pretty much a government scam that a lot of civic surgeons abuse a lot in terms of pricing) I cannot recommend this place enough. The doctors were very helpful, I just showed up with my passport and everything happened within 30min (doctor test, shots, urine sample, blood sample). read more

I came in on Monday with a one-page printout of my vaccination records and $180 in cash. Blood taken, urine taken, tuberculin test injected. Came back Wednesday evening and got my I-693--I'd forgotten my A-number the first time, so when I came back with it the number was filled in on all 13 pages by hand within a couple of minutes without a whisper of a complaint. I was told to come back if I needed a correction or more copies. Really prompt service over the phone, too. Look, I don't even care. It's $180, all services included. If you can find a better price in San Francisco, be my guest. Until then, I'm recommending him to everyone I know. read more

Since he become a SPA Dr. He doesn't care about the regulars anymore. I have to wait over one and half hour in his office, with a appointment and with no other patient. read more

I went to Dr. Lee's office for my Green Card medical exam and everything went smoothly. It was really quickly handled (they have a lab within the building), I spent total 15 minutes in the building and got my sealed envelope 5 days after. The person at the office desk was really nice too. The price is fair and definitely in the low range of prices for this type of exam. I recommend! read more

Fast, decent price, nice ppl helping you. Highly recommended. (the landlord is raising them up to 100% rent, so go there ASAP) read more

Needed a Civil Surgeon for a USCIS I-693 medical examination form in order to apply for a green card. Most of the doctors in SF charge a significant amount of money to do the medical examination (read: other places run by, ahem, 'western' doctors, can charge up to $400). Dr. Lee charged $150 + $10 for a mandatory flu shot (if your exam falls in the USCIS-defined flu season dates and you haven't had one). I had a great experience with Dr. Lee. Avoided the other civil surgeons in SF because of the Yelp reviews there. Why pay nearly 300% at a different doctor that will give you a bad experience? The price variation leads me to believe how scammy a lot of US doctors and the US health care system can be. In fact, a higher price probably indicates worse care because that doctor is probably about the financial bottom line, not your best interests. Anyways, enough of the rant. It was real simple to book. I called and I could come in immediately to do the exam. What's great is that he's in SF on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Burlingame on Tues/Thurs. He was very friendly, felt like he got to know me personally. Speaks perfect English and Cantonese (probably Mandarin too). Took all my information appropriately and gave me my shot. Afterwards, had to pay for it. As a caution, they take CASH ONLY. So make sure you have enough cash. There's a Bank of America ATM outside on the streetside as part of the same building. Then afterwards, had to walk over to a clinic one-block away to get my blood drawn for the test. That was very easy too. Came back two days for Tb reaction result and to pickup the forms. Fast and easy. Asked for a copy of the sealed form. One of the nicest doctors I've ever met. Helps a lot of the underprivileged elderly, which seems to be the clientele there. Kudos for that. Pro-tips: -Download and fill-out your information on the I-693 form so that they can transcribe your personal information without mistakes -Bring ID -Bring cash -Bring ALL your vaccination records - you must do that for ANY doctor filling out the forms, you will have to pay for any vaccinations that you don't have -Keep in mind that he's there on Mon/Wed/Fri -Keep in mind that you have to do a 2nd visit (this applies to any doctor doing the I-693 exam because they have to see your Tb reaction result) -Ask for a copy of the sealed form read more

Called on 11/18 10:45am The first time they answered the phone in Chinese once i spoke English she put me on hold for 5 min All I asked was if they accept my insurance something anyone answering phones at a doc office should know The second time I called back and was placed on hold for 5 min again The third time I called back and asked again this time I'm upset The lady on the phone starts yelling at me the kinds of insurance they take If you knew all this time why did you put me on hold for 5 min 3 different times I am 2nd generation Chinese but don't speak it And Ive experienced this type of treatment before All because I don't speak Chinese read more

The best experience I have had for an i693 medical examination. I needed a last minute urgent appointment for a medical examination, and other places didn't have available appointments soon. Thankfully, I found Dr. Simon Lee's office number and called to make an appointment with no hassle. The front desk woman was very friendly and helpful. Compared to my previous experience with another physician in Sacramento: -Faster and efficient service (total of 1hour vs. 2.5 hours at another place) -Cheap $150 vs. $300+ at other places -Professional staff (other clinics can be surprisingly unprofessional) Definitely recommended! Don't forget your id, vaccination records and your filled i693 form. CASH ONLY as expected from Chinatown. read more

If you are going to see Dr. Lee for immigration purposes, he's probably the best in the city. Cash only. $150 and additional cost for shots ( typically $30-70 ish I feel like). I paid $180 for the whole exam that includes PPD ( skin test for TB but if you have been vaccinated for TB before you should tell the doctor but he really doesn't care or look at the result) and blood test. He didn't even take my blood pressure. You have to go back to get the letter or skin test reading but he didn't even look at my skin test. I highly doubt his credibility as a MD since he doesn't even speak English but if you just want your stuff done for green card physical, just go here. Don't even bother going to real civil surgeon who would charge you $450-600. I wouldn't see him for real medical issues. read more

Fast, Easy, Cheap. Same day appointment. Immigration exam for 2 people with 3 additional shots = $420. Total processing time is 3 days. Cash only. read more

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Simon Lee for any USCIS medical exam. I needed an appointment on fairly short notice, and he was able to squeeze me in on the same day after I had to reschedule twice. All you need is your passport, your vaccination records, and health insurance. I waited for about 15 min and was called in. Dr. Lee was very friendly and down to earth. He gave me two shots and they were both painless. Exam + tetanus shot + flu shot was $300. They prefer cash so please bring cash with you! The last part was to get your blood drawn. It's in a lab next door, and that was a painless process as well. I went back to get the results one week later. The receptionist Jenny was so kind and patient - she made sure everything was accurate and up to USCIS standards. I couldn't thank everyone enough! Fingers crossed for my upcoming case :) read more

The immigration exam costs $150; a lot cheaper compared to other civil surgeons in SF. The service is quick and efficient and only takes about 30 minutes. After Dr. Lee's office visit, you will be sent to a laboratory for blood test. You will need to go back to the clinic to collect your final report after two days. Have your ID, I-693 form and immunization records ready. This is a CASH only clinic. read more

Easy and quick. Staff are friendly. Came here to get a check up since my old doctor retired. They accept a lot of insurance. When I came dr.lee wasn't there, it was an assistant and she help prescribed some medicine for my throat infection. read more

Offices in both San Francisco and in the Peninsula. Easy to get an appointment. Too early to tell how good of a doctor he actually is, but so far, he's been a-ok. I'm still alive, but still got some residual symtoms. read more

I needed a Primary Care Physician near my office, and Dr. Lee showed up as accepting patients. He was able to see me the following day, so I made the switch. Right in the heart of Chinatown, Dr. Lee's office has everything printed in Chinese and English, has Chinese television running, and lots of Chinese reading material... made me feel like I was back in Singapore! My reason for visiting was to get a referral, and Dr. Lee was super efficient about it. He asked me a few general health questions and then went to get the referral. Turned out his regular podiatrist referral was out of town, so he let me select my own specialist based on how soon they could see me. SO convenient. Thanks Dr. Lee. read more

My husband and I came for USCIS medical exam, for which the fees were very reasonable. Dr Lee is very professional and courteous, so are his staff. We showed up on time for our appointment and didn't have to wait long before he saw us. The blood drawing is across the hallway which is so convenient. Cash only for everything, but there are BoA ATMs downstairs. read more

I am from Europe and needed only one paper filled out for the green card. I took me forever to find a doctor who would do that. Many doctors in SF wanted to charge me 400 $ which is insane. Doctor Lee charged me a fair price, 50 $ and he understood what he was supposed to do. read more

What a great Dr. I was really impressed with Dr Lee & the ease of getting an apt at his Chinatown clinic. As other yelpers have mentioned most other clinics are charging in excess of $600 for a green card medical....which seems outrageous...perhaps because they were the first clinic on the list. Dr lee was friendly, efficient & overall had a really nice demeanor. $140 cash for a tuberculosis shot & appointment...great value. read more

Dr Lee is amazing! So gentle and sweet! I highly recommend him for your immigration medical exam as he only charges a maximum of $250 for the medical exam including the blood work and vaccinations that you need! Other places are charging almost in excess of $450 for the same thing! read more

Great doctor for the green card medical examination. Good availability to set up an appointment, great prices, and very nice & efficient doctor. read more

i went there for immigration medical examination. Dr. Simon is really nice and friendly. He tried to chat with me when he was giving 3 shots in few second. I didn't even notice it was all done. Thank him! read more

Everyone there is very nice and helpful. They took care of everything without any problem and very cheap compared to other facilities. I highly recommend read more

Dr. Lee is very nice and I am very impressed by his Chinese mandarin speaking. I will come to him again if I need to do immigration medical exam one more time. read more

Best place for GC medical exam. Pay less, get it done fast and most of all friendly staff with gentle Doctor. What more does anyone want!
