Danielle Lee, PA-C

Danielle Lee, P.A.-C., is a board-certified orthopedic surgery physician assistant specializing in total joint replacement of the knee and hip. She grew up in the small town of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and later moved to Lexington to attend the University of Kentucky and work at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, specializing in exercise science, Danielle relocated to West Palm Beach to join the inaugural class of South University's physician assistant program.

While attending South University, Danielle served as the Chief Student Ambassador for her class, representing the school at various community outreach programs to educate others about the career opportunities in becoming a PA, as well as assisting with interviews for future cohorts.

Before joining Dr. Noble, Danielle gained invaluable experience in multiple orthopedic surgery specialties, including pediatrics, sports medicine, upper extremity, hand surgery, and joint replacement. She has experience in pre-operative, post-operative, and new patient appointments, ranging from reviewing bloodwork and procedures prior to surgery to performing joint injections with and without ultrasound guidance. She also has experience as the first assistant in the operating room during total joint replacements, intricate microscopic vein and nerve repairs, and many other orthopedic surgeries.

While Danielle enjoys her work in total joint replacement, she also cherishes her time off, spending it at the beach playing beach volleyball, hanging out with her golden retriever, Benji, watching the University of Kentucky Wildcats play, or trying out new restaurants. An avid traveler, she aims to explore all seven continents—be sure to ask her about her next trip!
