Samuel Lee, MD

Sam Lee, MD joined Esperanza in 2023 as an Internal Medicine Physician. He was born in Queens, New York, but calls Kyrgyzstan his home, as his family moved there to serve the Kyrgyz people. He returned to the US for his undergraduate studies and completed his medical training in Norfolk, Virginia, before heading to San Francisco for an internal medicine residency and a fellowship in addiction medicine. He was drawn to Esperanza after meeting several incredible staff members at the CCHF conference in 2019 and God was faithful in providing a job here. He is passionate about working with people who use substances (especially teenagers!) and providing women’s health. Outside of healthcare, he is an avid public transportation enthusiast and a huge proponent of K-Pop, night runs, and maximizing airline mileage points.
