Robert Lee
Robert is our behind-the-scenes business partner who makes it possible for Renee and Charlotte to spend more time treating patients. In his day job, he works as an Aviation Meteorologist at a private government consulting firm. He studied at Texas A&M where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. He earned his MBA at Oklahoma City University.
He passionately believes that there are multiple paths to healthcare, having benefited greatly from receiving alternative care options when traditional Western medicine did not have options to help him feel better.
If Robert is not in the office, he is probably looking up at the sky, working on puzzles, building something, spending time with his family, or exercising. He loves camping and being away from the daily grind of regular life. He rarely shies away from a great road trip!
