At Mason City Clinic, excellence in patient care is more than a goal—it’s a shared commitment lived out daily by our team of physicians. This year, we are proud to recognize one of our colleagues who embodies that commitment. Dr. Daniel Lee, M.D., Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) specialist, has been named the recipient of the 2025 MacGregor Award for Excellence.
This prestigious award is presented annually to a Mason City Clinic physician who exemplifies exceptional service to patients, peers, and the community. Chosen by fellow clinicians, the award highlights the values that drive Mason City Clinic forward: compassion, collaboration, and clinical excellence. Dr. Lee has earned high regard not only for his skill as a physician, but also for his dedication to teamwork and patient-centered care.

I would like to thank my colleagues for their nomination, our staff for their tireless work, and of course, my family for all they do.”
