  Gilbert B. Lee, M.D.
Dr. Gilbert Lee grew up in Portland Oregon and went to college at Willamette University and University of Oregon. He completed medical school at Portland’s OHSU and Internal medicine specialty training at Charleston Area Medical Center before spending 18 years in private practice in Newport Oregon. He relocated to Bend in 1999.

Dr. Lee has been past president of the Oregon Society of Internal Medicine, past president of the Lincoln County Central Coast Independent Practice Association, and twelve years as delegate to the Oregon Medical Association. He is on the faculty of the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center in Portland and teaches physician assistants, medical students and internal medicine residents on rotation in his office.

Dr. Lee’s philosophy is that Healthcare is a personal service industry requiring volumes of detailed sensitive information which must be integrated into each healthcare decision. The paper paradigm clogs the system and takes valuable time away from patient care. Therefore he is committed to electronic medical records.

  C. Frost Lee, M.D.

After earning her M.D. Degree Dr. Lee practiced in rural Appalachia and later returned to her Oregon roots to practice primary care internal medicine in Newport, Oregon.  Dr. Lee's 20 years in Internal Medicine provided her with the hands-on experience to build and manage an innovative company.


In 1995, as In-Med’s founder, she began her search for a user-friendly software application to assist in the management of her own medical practice. Unable to find a suitable software tool, Dr. Lee conducted extensive research to create a software program that would address the specific needs not only of her practice, but of small medical practices everywhere. The result—In-Med’s CompletePractice.

With her experience as a physician, developing a secure practice management solution, Dr. Lee has become a recognized expert on HIPAA legislation.   She worked closely with the Oregon Medical Association and Siemens Medical Corporation to educate healthcare on the practical implementation of measures for HIPAA compliance and training and created e-healthcare learning and certification tools nationwide.

She is passionate about science and education.   A passion recognized by the governor of
Oregon, who appointed her to the Oregon Council for Knowledge and Economic Development.   Empowered by the state legislators, this council is developing a blueprint for linking economic growth for the state of Oregon with business and higher education resources.
