Tricia Lee, MD

Dr. Lee brings a unique combination of clinical excellence, academic leadership, and community engagement to her practice in Decatur, Georgia.

Her career began in private practice in Manhattan, where she gained extensive experience treating diverse patient populations before relocating to Atlanta. At Emory University, she served as Assistant Professor and Associate Program Director for the Allergy/Immunology Fellowship Program, helping shape the next generation of specialists. As a physician at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), she provided comprehensive care while serving as co-investigator on several notable food allergy clinical trials. Her passion for the intersection of medicine and technology led her to participate in Epic's inaugural Physician Builder Program, where she focused on informatics and implementation research.

Commitment to Education
Mentorship remains central to Dr. Lee's professional identity. She regularly guides learners at every stage—from pre-med Emory undergraduates shadowing in clinic, to Emory medical students, Morehouse pediatric residents, and Emory allergy/immunology fellows completing clinical rotations. She has also served as an instructor for Agnes Scott College's post-baccalaureate program, sharing her expertise with students preparing for medical careers.

Community Involvement
Beyond the exam room, Dr. Lee actively works to improve food allergy awareness and management throughout the Atlanta area. She participates in community events like the Teal Pumpkin Project playdate, teaches the Elementary Pediatric Health Curriculum at Burgess Peterson Academy, and consults with local schools on best practices for managing food allergies safely and effectively.

Life in Decatur
Dr. Lee lives in Decatur with her husband Matt and their two sons, who attend local public schools. She's deeply invested in her community—volunteering in her church's children's program, presenting at school career days, and supporting neighborhood initiatives. When she's not in the office, you'll find her exploring Atlanta's restaurant scene, browsing farmer's markets, or enjoying local theater productions.
