Dr. Rob Lee was born in Columbia, MD but raised in Chicago. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He went on to attend the College of Pharmacy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, for two years before deciding to switch to dentistry.

Dr. Lee is Board certified through the American Board of Endodontics, a distinction only one in four Endodontists hold. 

Dr. Lee’s experience as both a general dentist and an endodontist gives him a broad perspective when caring for patients with complex dental needs. He understands that patients requiring root canal treatment are often experiencing discomfort or anxiety, and he strives to make their experience as comfortable and straightforward as possible while providing precise, high-quality specialty care.

Committed to advancing his knowledge and the profession, Dr. Lee has contributed to endodontic research and is the author of an article published in the Journal of Endodontics.
