Dr. Susan Lee, DC

Dr. Susan Lee was born and raised in South Florida, where she grew up surrounded by family, school life, and close friendships. She has a younger sister just one grade below her, which made school feel like a shared experience rather than a competition. From an early age, Dr. Lee loved learning and consistently excelled academically, participating in a wide range of extracurricular clubs throughout elementary, middle, and high school.

One of the most influential experiences of her youth was competing in Business Professionals of America, where she advanced through regional, state, and national levels for multiple years. Combined with her academic performance, this helped her earn acceptance to the University of California, Berkeley on a full-ride merit scholarship. Although staying close to her family was important to her, she embraced the opportunity to grow independently and later studied abroad twice, broadening her perspective on health, culture, and service.

Dr. Lee comes from a family deeply rooted in hard work and care for others. Her parents immigrated from China—her mother practiced medicine, and her father worked as a chef throughout his career. Her mother’s use of herbal remedies and natural approaches to health meant medication was rarely the first solution at home. This upbringing naturally shaped Dr. Lee’s interest in holistic, preventative, and nervous-system-focused care. While she enjoyed recreational activities such as tennis, table tennis, and badminton, her passions were always more academic, driven by curiosity, service, and purpose.
