Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Happy So Far
My previous gynecologist retired and, after looking up many reviews, decided to see Dr Fee as my new provider. So far, I am extremely pleased. I have been struggling with obvious endometriosis symptoms for YEARS and Dr Fee immediately treated it as an urgent matter. I could not be happier with her sense of urgency. My quality of life has suffered dramatically, especially in the past 5 years, and I felt like no other doctors seemed to care. Dr Fee ran tests and saw some concerning cysts on ultrasound, and quickly got me approved for excision surgery. I am 5 days post-laparoscopy and healing very well! Dr Fee shows genuine concern for her patients and she is a very competent doctor. I feel well cared for by her and her staff

The high ratings are misleading. She’s nice during the consultation but after you return she becomes cold and drops the act. She brushed me off and dismissed my chronic pain saying that it couldn’t possibly be endometriosis since my ultrasound came back negative. An ultrasound isn’t even the definitive way to diagnose! She treated me like I was insane and she was extremely offended that I asked questions. She told me that because I have chronic pain I couldn’t have endometriosis, which is incorrect as well. I’m tired of doctors brushing off my chronic symptoms, I’ve been suffering for 14 years and she’s just another doctor to add to the list of medical providers who haven’t helped me. Avoid her!

Completely blows all issues off like I am wasting her time by being there. I have begged multiple times for her to do a lap to even check for issues, but she doesn’t believe that “it’s necessary.” Claims that I cannot have endo at all, because of my lower back pain. I’ve tried so hard to be patient with her. I’m at my wits end. When I asked what to do about my pain issues, and brought up that I take hot baths and use heating pads, the response was to “Keep it up.” It genuinely surprises me that she is so highly rated. I don’t complain or do negative reviews at all. This is my first ever one. I feel the need to warn the younger women who feel like they have issues. If you’re young, you’re fine to her. Her office staff is the ONLY reason why I kept returning. At this point, I need to find a doctor who actually listens and has more of an open mind.

She’s polite but can’t remember the patient , her condition, her treatment etc. I had a failed IVF and asked her to help me with fertility as I didn’t want to go through IVF again. She said if IVF didn’t work for you nothing else will...without going through any of my paper work. Also every time I’d go to her office she’s ask how many Kids I have and rushed me out every time. even with my chart in front of her I’d have to explain my conditions to her over and over again EVERY TIME. And the wait time at her office is at least 1.5 hours so be prepared to wait.

Long story short, Dr Fee saw me after I had an untrasound and she wanted to do a uterine biopsy in her office. I was suspicious so I got a second opinion. Not only do doctors do this type of biopsy in a surgery center because of how painful it is. But, she also lied on why I needed it in the first place. (I read my doctor fee's note to the second opinion appt.) She wrote in the notes that I had severe bleeding. I didn't NOT. The entire experience was a lie. She just did it to charge for a lot

I saw her over my first pregnancy. She was nice, knowledgeable and highly recommended. Long wait. She is very busy and would leave right after seeing you without waiting for me to even think of a question. I had to wait for her to answer questions so many times as I was checking out. On delivery day she was off so a male delivered baby but she came next day. when I brought baby in for my followup, he napped, she didn't even notice or ask about him. bedside manner needs work but good doctor.

I came to Dr. Fee because my doctor tried to do a endometrial biopsy which was not a pleasant experience by any stretch and was unable to do it. He was going to put me in the hospital to do it, but he called Dr. Fee and she told him to send me to her office because she said she would be able to do it. She was amazing, not only did she do it but there was less than minimal pain. I am going to be having surgery and hopefully she will do it.

Been seeing her for years but she's either too busy or should stick to the prenatal patients. After waiting in the exam room for 40 minutes (theres always an excuse) I felt rushed through my exam and did not get my questions answered. Time to move on I guess. Too bad because there was a time that she cared.

Any time we spend waiting for Dr. Fee is worth it for me and my family. She has seen me through two pregnancies, the first of which was complicated and required surgery at 22 weeks pregnant. My children are both healthy and thriving. She's also helped me with cyst removal. She works quickly and efficiently. I'm sure if you don't know her, she may seem abrupt or that she's rushing. The more you work with her, the more you realize how great she is at what she does.

Dr. Fee was recommended to me by friends and doctors. She was knowledgeable and professional. I saw her throughout my pregnancy and was pleased. She did always seemed in a hurry and was in and out so quickly that I often forgot what questions I was going to ask her until she left. The day I gave birth, she was off, so I cannot rate her on her delivery. She came the next day to do circumcision, which went well. She does not have a great bedside manner. I loved the staff and nurse practitioner.

Doctor Fee delivered my first baby, Titus, at St. Joseph Hospital on 7/25/11. Though it was an overall good experience, my recovery time was longer than necessary because of what I thought was mild tearing... I found out later from my husband that Doctor Fee had given me an episiotomy against my wishes which I had expressed both verbally and in a written birth plan. I remember her telling me as she stitched me up that it was a mild tear and I know now that it was a flat out lie. I guess she
