Dr. Clarence Lee Jr. Wants to Flip the Healthcare Script
Who’s the guy?
Meet Dr. Clarence Lee Jr., MD, a physician who’s got a knack for turning the ordinary into extraordinary. He’s riding the entrepreneurial wave and has set a bold goal: give doctors a fresh, liberated role that’s free from the shackles of corporate back‑stabbing. In his own words, “Medicine is typically an employment model, and I intend to take the profession of medicine back for the physician and allow us to fix all of the problems private equity and business influence has caused in the practice of medicine.”
Exhort Health – The Real Deal
In February, Dr. Lee opened his flagship urgent care center, Exhort Health, in San Marcos, California. But Exhort isn’t just a brick‑and‑mortar clinic; it’s a philosophy that refuses to stay glued to a single location or a single state line. In a healthcare industry tangled in red tape and sky‑high, often black‑box costs, Dr. Lee’s mission is simple: deliver cost‑effective, patient‑focused care that turns the usual “you’re out of the doctor’s office exhausted” trope into “you’re out ready to kick butt.”
Guarantees: We’re All About Empowerment
- Encouragement – You walk in feeling drained? Not at our place. We guarantee to leave you feeling “encouraged.”
- Uncluttered Transparency – No hidden fees, no confusing billing—just straight‑forward service.
- Patient‑First Focus – Every step is geared toward your well‑being, not the bottom line.
- Uplift From the Door – As soon as you step in, we aim to lift your spirits.
Why It Matters
Dr. Lee’s vision addresses a long‑standing gap: when private equity and corporate interests start steering medical practice, doctors lose their voice, and patients end up feeling unsatisfied, overwhelmed, and financially burdened. Exhort Health is the antidote—empowering physicians to reclaim their profession, and giving patients a dignified, affordable, and uplifting care experience.
