Ikeemah Lee
Practice Manager

Ikeemah's interest in health care began at an early age when her great grandmother lived with her family and she helped to care for her. She wanted to become a nurse but became interested in pharmacy when her grandmother became ill from taking the wrong medications because of a dispensing error at a pharmacy. She become a Certified Pharmacy Technician and worked for several large pharmacies including Humana Healthcare, Bioscript pharmacy, Long term health care pharmacy and Commcare pharmacy.

Although she enjoyed pharmacy she longed to work directly with patients and decided to become a Registered Medical Assistant. She thoroughly enjoyed patient care at Specialty Clinics of Georgia and was disappointed when they decided to move the clinic out of town. It had to be divine guidance when she landed a position at Atlanta Lifestyle Medical Center because she was not aware of it before but this area of medicine is her true passion.
