Janis D Fee, MD

I can’t rave about Dr. Fee and her staff enough. I had both my babies delivered by her. She wasn’t even the Dr. On call at the hospital, but made sure she came in to be there for both of their births! Her office staff is super friendly and always answer every question I have. They all make you feel more then just a patient. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!

Update: they went above and beyond dealing with my insurance. They took care of all the paper work and long phone calls and even offered me sample medication till my insurance covered it. I think dealing with the inconvenience of waiting a bit on the phone or in the office is worth the customer service.
Better than I had expected based on the reviews but not shocked. Unilocal is good for restaurant review… Not so accurate for healthcare providers.
On to the appointment itself. I got there half an hour early as they had asked. I got called in less than 10 minutes after I finished my paper work and Terry came in to help me shortly after they went over my medical info. Terry made me comfortable, answered my questions and she did her work quickly. I was out of that place in less than half an hour. The only down side of this place is the phone line… I’ve had long waits each time I’ve called to talk to someone.

Have been going to Dr. Fee for many years, including back when she was located in Anaheim Hills before she moved to her current location in Orange.
5 stars for Dr. Fee and her nurses who are knowledgeable and kind.
The prescription nurse (I believe her name is Myrna) is also very personable and helpful.
3 stars for the frustration of long waits, overcrowded patient room, and filling out paperwork that I’ve filled out so many times when it has not changed.
1 star for the frustration of coming in this month for my visit just to be told I needed to return a different day because whoever scheduled me did not check to see when my PPO was eligible.
New location has easier parking than the old location which is an improvement.
Overall I would still recommend this office.

Dr. Fee has been my dr for about 5 years now she delivered my first son and takes care of my mom, mother in law and cousin. My whole family loves and appreciates all she does for us she has helped us in so many way! Thank you Dr. Fee and all your staff for all you do!!!

Whoa, avoid at all costs!
My experience, 20 visits, time in waiting room, 40 hrs, time in front of doctor Fee, 17 minutes. I’ll give it to her, the nurses aides are nice, you’ll mostly be seeing them, they are the reason Dr Fee earned her one star, hard earned that is, petitioning Unilocal to institute a negative star rating as we speak and may update if they do,
Possibly she has aspergers, very brusk personality, yes it’s ok to look up the meaning of that word.
Do not expect to see Dr Fee and company at the hospital when you deliver either, (Maybe she is busy donating medical services to the local homeless shelter, saving puppies from being abused, making people wait in rooms, or going to conferences (possibly how to invest in Florida real estate? jk., that part is speculation). Seriously she does not spend face time in front of patients or any time at the local hospital.
At the hospital you will be handled by young and inexperienced «staff» doctors, I say staff in the loosest sense, since the doctors that actually work there are contractors that haven’t built up enough business to maintain their own offices yet, unlike Dr Fee.
Delivery was a traumatic, horrible, and not to be repeated experience, though the real staff (nurses) at St Jo’s are pretty good.
Speaking of, to be judged good at something, you can’t just be good sometimes. At the Fee Medical Group, I’m pretty sure the words «service», «excellence» and «compassion» are not in the mission statement.
That was our experience, I guess you could cross your fingers and toes and hope you don’t have the same, but why would you? Go anywhere else.

If you want excellence in medical care, this is the place. I went to Dr. Fee’s office as a referral from my primary physician and I wouldn’t go anywhere else after the care I’ve received there. Dr. Fee delivered my first child and I’m currently under her care for my second expected child.
Yes, wait times can be long but that’s where scheduling smart comes in to play. If I want to see Dr. Fee, I schedule for first appt. in the morning or first after lunch, otherwise I risk a long wait time. Seeing her nurses for appts is just as satisfying — they are extremely knowledgeable and take care of business. The staff of Nurse practitioners is AMAZING! Taryl & Michelle are awesome and their triage gal, Myrna is great. Front desk staff is so helpful too. These ladies truly care for their patients and I’ve honestly never felt like «another number.»
You have to be reasonable and use common sense when judging medical offices — they are busy for a reason and this place is not there to get patients in and out of the door so they can bill insurance companies. They take care of their patients and sorry folks, that takes time so it will mean you’ll have to wait your turn. I look forward to returning for regular visits post pregnancy too. Highly recommended.

Dr. Fee came highly recommended from my regular obgyn for a mini surgery I needed. When I initially called to make my appointment, the first available was a month away. I knew that it might help to call often to check for any cancelations and my persistence finally paid off! I got lucky and was able to cut my wait time by 2 weeks. I found the office staff to be very helpful and supportive. They told me i was always welcome to call to check for a cancelation. This office is busy for a reason! Dr. Fee is amazing! She has very personable and truly cares for her patients. When I went to the hospital for the pre op work, all the staff told me how great she was! I knew I was in good hands. Everything went well with the surgery. Dr. Fee’s office staff could not have been more helpful with all of the scheduling and with any questions I had. Two weeks after the surgery, I had a lot of difficulty finding the office. My phone directions took me to the wrong place. I called the office to tell them I would be late. I ended up arriving one hour and fifteen minutes after my appointment time. They were still able to see me! What other doctors office would do that? I did have to wait a bit before each appointment at this office but I didn’t mind because I knew I would be taken care of! Thank you to Dr. Fee and the wonderful office staff!!!

Dr. Fee is not the reason I’m giving a one star rating. It is her office staff who are rude and talk to people as if they are doing them a favor and you are wasting their time by asking a question. I hope Dr. Fee will realize that having good employees is just as important as being a good doctor.

There are ONLY so many DRs. to go around.
I found the appt. process easy and smooth
Dr. was on time and so was I.
I recommend this Doctor.
I will return.
Sometimes we the patients… Need to share some patience and understanding with these folks in this Medical offices. Yes, some ARE bad. Most probably are doing their best.
Simple and
my review of Dr. Fee and her staff.

Dr. Fee is great (but be prepared to wait an hour to see her), but the staff is HORRIBLE. I know two people who no longer go to Dr. Fee because of the front office staff and I thinking of doing the same.

Worst office ever! Always overbooked, crowded office, complaining women waiting to get answers (myself included). If you are having serious female issues… Go somewhere else!!! You will waste your time here!!!

The customer service and the wait times are comparable to what you would find in a free clinic. An 11 o’clock appointment really means be there at 10:30 or you’ll be turned away. The mean lady at the counter is quick to spout out that policy is to arrive 30 minutes early. The waiting room was stacked full and the Dr. wasn’t even there! She was in surgery and was 2 hours behind in office visits. ALL of the women waiting to be seen said this is a common occurrence. EXCESSIVE wait times, and NEVER honor their appointment times. SEVERELY LACKING in professionalism.

I’ve been to this office three times now and I have never met, seen, or even been introduced to Dr. Fee. Her name is on the door, on my bills, and on my paperwork, but I don’t even know what she looks like.
Dr. Fee was listed as a new participating OB/​GYN in my medical group. She was the only female on the list taking new patients so I decided to give her a try, despite the many negative reviews on Unilocal (alongside some good ones).
Regardless of her abilities as a physician (I’m sure she’s great because some of her reviews are glowing), bottom line, I think that the biggest problem is that Dr. Fee’s office takes and has too many patients. There are always at least half a dozen people in the waiting room. The wait time as a walk-​in at Quest to get your blood drawn is less than at Dr. Fee’s.
Most specifically if you have a regular job and are on a tight schedule, this is not the ideal office for you. I have a limited window of time each day to take off work to make doctor’s appointments. The difficulty in getting an appointment, the long waits on hold on the phone, and the lack of warmth and welcoming by the staff (they slam shut the little receptionist window after every patient signs in – seems so rude and distancing) aren’t favorable points for me.
I really wish this weren’t the case, because on a positive note, I have to say that the nursing staff and the nurse practitioners are knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. It’s nice to know there are females who are on your side and treat you like a person. The receptionist staff could use more work on being more approachable, warm, and pleasant.
If waiting isn’t an issue for you, and if never seeing Dr. Fee (the actual OB/​GYN) doesn’t bother you (nurse practitioners are more than capable), then you might not see it as a big deal. If you prefer to see Dr. Fee, know that her schedule is crazy busy and it will be next to impossible to get an appointment with her unless you’re willing to wait weeks or months. If I didn’t have a job and had the luxury of time, I don’t think I would mind it that much. But, I may have to keep looking for a better suited alternative for me.

Awesome choice if you like to wait around for 30+ minutes for a 5 — minute long appointment.

I have been a patient of dr fee for 15 years. She is a very busy doctor but is always worth the wait! She is very knowledgable and caring and her staff is amazing. If I need to get in for a quick visit her nurse practitioners are always available and they are great too!

I have been seeing Dr. Fee since 1996 after my ‘original’ doctor retired. Dr. Fee was part of that Women’s Health Care group and took over my case. She has performed 2 surgeries for me in 1996 and 2003. I have to admit, I never felt a real connection with her. Nevertheless, I stayed with her because, for the most part, she is competent and cordial, even if she was not warm. She did always answer my questions when I had them. There were a couple of times I was not very happy that after waiting for almost 2 hours, they cancelled my appoint because she was running late. But you can’t really blame her. When the baby wants to come out, she has to be there.
It’s been 7 years since I last went to the office. I finally went again today b/​c I needed a mammogram that is long over due. I really like the new office in Orange than the one in Anaheim Hills. The people working there are MUCH nicer and friendlier. I didn’t see Dr. Fee. I saw Ms. Tari (Taryl Nothern, RNP), the nurse practitioner. I LOVED her! She was kind, warm, friendly and funny. She listened and answered my questions and had great bedside manners.
For my office visit, I didn’t feel I needed to see Dr. Fee. I hope she is more personable now. But I would make my appoint to see Tari again next year. Unless you have specific condition that you feel you need to see Dr. Fee, I highly recommend that you see Ms. Tari. If I were solely writing this review on Ms. Tari and the office staff on today’s experience, I would have given 5 stars. But combing with my past experience, I am giving 4. I am really glad to see the office has improved its customer service.

I am in the process of looking for another OBGYN. I have been working with Dr Fee for the last 8 years. I have worked with Dr Fee all of these years because of the proximity of her office to my home. It is VERY difficult to schedule appts. at her office. When I recently called, I was on hold for over 10 minutes. I got so frustrated with waiting, that I finally had to hang up. I called back about 3 hours later and I was placed on hold once again. URGH!
On a few occasions I have waited in the waiting room for my appt with Dr. Fee for over 1 hour. After waiting in the front room for over an hour, the office staff then moved me into one of their private rooms. I continued to wait at least another 30 mins. Finally, I couldn’t wait anymore. I left my room and started to walk around the office in my cloth robe asking when the Dr. might finally come and meet with me. The staff quickly stopped me and ushered me back to my room.
I have learned my lesson to request my «well women» appts with the nurses in the office. Most of the nurses there are very friendly, knowledgable arrive on time for my appts. My time is valuable and I can’t wait around for hours to meet with Dr. Fee.
Dr Fee has WAY TOO many patients and she cant give the personalized care that I deserve. She wasn’t even available to deliver my baby.

Just got a phone call canceling my appt for tomorrow morning after waiting two weeks. Now I have to wait another two weeks very disappointing and not even an apology.

Working in the medical field and being around different types of doctors I can honestly and genuinely say the Dr. Fee is one of the rare amazing ones.
The primary fact that she actually knows her craft backwards and forwards is enough to trust her with my well being and care. But add to the fact that she treats everyone as unique and special and as an equal while upholding a sense of respect is another amazing factor. When talking to Dr. Fee you’re not just another number waiting to get a cookie cutter response. She acts on your problems and responds to treatments that are right for you and only you.
I switched OB/​GYN and I am never going back to another ever again.
Added note: I LOVE her nurses. Funny and smart and just plain amazing. I strongly recommend all of them as they are just as equally capable in anything that pertains to OB/​GYN!!!

Although I know this sounds harsh, Dr. Fee is essentially participating in insurance fraud and she is a woefully negligent physician. If there were a zero stars option, I would be clicking on that one.
I could go on and on about the fact that she was my doctor for over one year while I had a female issue I needed to get checked out, and yet of all my visits, I only saw her in person one time, for 5 minutes, to tell me essentially nothing. I waited one hour in the waiting room and half an hour in the examination room just to see her for 5 minutes. It was clear she had never even read my file until that very minute.
After this 5 minute visit, Dr. Fee (without my knowledge or consent) sent a prescription for a random estrogen cream to my Express Scripts pharmacy and ordered three auto refills. WE NEVER EVEN DISCUSSED the prescription and I certainly DON’T NEED IT. I am already taking an estrogen pill and I certainly would never need an estrogen topical cream! I was charged one hundred dollars multiple times for this cream– I called her office and had to go back and forth with the manager and practically threatened them with legal action over the course of three weeks until I reached Dr. Fee. Her response was that doctors and patients talk about a lot of things in their visits and I must have forgotten. She is the one seeing dozens of patients a day and yet I’m the one who forgot about an estrogen cream I supposedly need in the rare 5 minute meeting I had with her?
She then said that she orders the cream for a lot of her patients on a trial basis and that it wasn’t her fault that my pharmacy filled the prescription (she knows that Express Scripts works on a mail-​order, auto-​charge basis so this not any sort of justification for her actions).
She is rude, irresponsible, and in my opinion most likely fraudulent in her activities with whatever pharmaceutical company is working with her to order estrace cream for any patient that walks in her door and may be a candidate for this random cream that your insurance pays $ 280 dollars per unit for. $ 280 dollars. One tube of cream. Every month. If hundreds of patients are having the same experience… you can do the math and figure out why any doctor would be doing this this and save yourself from what I went through.
My pharmacy, my insurance – Anthem Blue Cross, and my credit card company are currently investigating her actions. Please don’t waste your time and money with this horrible, horrible doctor. A doctor’s visit for a female issue should be one of calm and reassurance, not long waits, stress, pressure, and then thievery. This is one of the most ridiculous events I have ever gone through in my life and I highly suggest that prospective patients look elsewhere for a positive experience with their doctor.
