Meet Winnie W. Lee

After graduating from Cornell University as a Howard Hughes Scholar, she attended West Virginia University School of Medicine and completed her general surgery residency at Tufts-New England Medical Center. She finished her Cardiothoracic Surgery residency at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill including a summer in London at the Great Ormand Street Hospital for Sick Children for congenital heart surgery. After a successful career in Thoracic Surgery, she then pursued her passion for creating natural beauty by completing her fellowship in cosmetic surgery with Dr. Alberico J. Sessa in Sarasota. Dr. Lee loved the community so she decided to move her LA practice to Sarasota and join Sarasota Surgical Arts.

Outside of her practice, she is a concert violinist having performed in Lincoln Hall Alice Tully Hall in NYC and been a teacher of the Suzuki Method to children. She is also a mountaineer having climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kinabalu while also enjoying nature hikes and all aspects of the outdoors. Her many interests include global travel, arts, sports, marathons and triathlons with a Half Ironman under her belt, and is in the process of writing an interactive e-book for children. She looks forward to adding more to her list with her new home in Florida.
