Lee and Lee Orthodontics: Rodney S Lee DDS

Orthodontics offices in the Presidio Heights area tend to blend into the neighborhood’s quiet, residential rhythm—except when you’re actively searching for one. This part of California Street is lined with low-key professional spaces, where braces, aligners, and retainers get more attention than flashy signage. The building at 3501 isn’t an exception; it’s a second-floor suite that assumes you already know what you’re looking for. No neon, no fanfare—just a standard office door with a plaque.

Inside, the work revolves around the kind of adjustments that take months to notice but years to forget: palatal expanders, bite corrections, the slow shift of teeth into alignment. It’s the sort of place where appointments are scheduled in advance and follow-ups are part of the routine. The address puts it a few blocks from the bustle of Laurel Village, which means parking is neither a guarantee nor a nightmare—just another San Francisco calculation.

Calling ahead is the usual move, especially for first visits or adjustments that need precise timing. The number, (415) 751-1700, connects to the front desk, where someone will confirm whether it’s time for a new wire, a progress check, or just a quick tightening. No walk-ins, no surprises—orthodontics doesn’t really do spontaneity.

If you’re mapping it out, the entrance is on California between Maple and Cherry, above a stretch of sidewalk that sees more strollers than foot traffic. The directions will point you to the right doorway—no detours, no guesswork.
