Dr. Lee specializes in musculoskeletal conditions affecting the adult hip,
not only in open and arthroscopic hip preservation surgery, but also adult
reconstruction surgery using muscle sparing techniques such as the direct
superior, and posterior hip approaches. Dr. Lee is trained and interested
in robotic total knee arthroplasty, and minimally invasive, quadriceps
sparing techniques. She has trained in both fellowship and residency utilizing
multiple total hip and knee replacement systems to best suit each individual
patient's anatomy.
As an avid rock climber, snowboarder, trail-runner, and dog parent, Jess
recognizes the importance, and joy of movement, especially in the beautiful
mountain state of Colorado, and hopes to help patients get back to doing
what they love. Her goal is to pick the right surgery for the right patient
at all times, as she offers skills in both hip preservation and replacement.
She is therefore primarily interested in working with each patient to
customize the best and most individualized treatment strategy based on
joint characteristics, functional expectations, and activity goals.
