Brian Lee, MD, PhD
About Me
My aim is to provide the best possible quality of life for patients by utilizing the latest in evidence-based medicine combined with compassionate care to tailor each treatment on an individual basis.
Dr. Brian Lee specializes in radiation oncology because it combines the rewards and challenges of cancer care with his interest in physics and biology. He enjoys interacting with patients while using cutting-edge technology to treat their cancer. He feels privileged to be in a position to help patients going through one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Dr. Lee likes living in Portland because of the city’s amazing dining, accessibility to top-notch science and arts as well as outdoor activities. He spends his free time biking, hiking, traveling, cooking and being with family.
