This is California's worst. She told me I cancer without performing a biopsy. She referred me to a cancer doctor. Instead I went to a different OB/GYN for a second opinion who did the biopsy...... the test came back, "no cancer." Dr. Fee is medically incompetent! She doesn't even deserve any star rating. read more

Too rushed didn't offer to listen to pre surgery questions. I had to stop her before she dashed out of the room. Didn't feel comfortable asking all my questions. read more

Dr. Janice Fee is awesome, she is very professional and very sweet, made me feel comfortable every visit, just had my hysterectomy less than a week ago and I feel great, haven't experienced any pain at all, I now know why they call her the wizard of the robotic hysterectomy doctor at St. Joseph Hospital, she is simply the best, I'm so blessed she was my doctor. I highly recommend her, her opinions about my health issues were very professional and sge explained and educated me on everything regarding my health issues. Thank you Dr. Janice Fee for all you do for your patients. God Bless you and your hands always. read more

Janis D Fee, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Orange, California

Dr Fee as a doctor- 4.5 star Wait - total 2hr 40 mins for first time app - ZERO star. Get together admin staff. DO NOT overbook patients ALL THE TIME. Everyone else, besides doctors, have schedules too. Wasted my time in that small waiting room. I was her patient two years ago. read more

This doctor is negligent and uncooperative. She neglected advise from other doctors about my case, and didn't bother putting in her part and now I have to deal with the consequences. I had asked consecutively for 1.5 months for a special test to be done to see if I was positive. Her office neglected to do the research or look into care options for me while MFH and infectious disease doctors gave advise on my case.. she brushed it off and here I am with a chronic condition because it took so long from the get go. So If you want to be another number, enjoy waiting hours 45-1hr just to leave appointments with her after 8-10 minutes, feeling unheard and unnoticed.. she's the right one for you. She doesn't want to deal with anything that's not an easy pay day for her, do yourself and your baby the favor, there are so many other OBs who genuinely pay attention and care.. had I chosen right from The get go things would have been so different. Such a shame her NP Amy was amazing read more

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. read more

Extraordinary care for over 15 years. Thorough, takes her time, friendly and immediate coordination for necessary procedures. Taryl Nothern,her NP, provides excellent communication between patients and the office. read more

This post is LONG overdue. I've been going to Dr. Fee since she was in Anaheim Hills (many years ago). I couldn't praise her and her office any more, they really are amazing. From the ladies at the front desk, the ones in the back, the ones I talk to on the phone regarding results (especially Myrna) and the nurses, every one of them has made me feel super comfortable through everything I've been through there. Through infertility and them being super positive and helpful for over two years. To an Ectopic emergency surgery, they have truly been there for me through it all! Dr. Fee did my ectopic surgery and she greeted me before, during, and after. It was such an emotional time but she made it so much easier and I loved knowing she was the one doing my surgery, I knew I was in good hands. Later, we finally got pregnant with our baby boy. I saw Terry for most of my appointments because I know Dr. Fee is a busy woman. Terry is absolutely amazing! Love her to pieces. When it came to delivery time Dr. Fee was a burst of energy that I needed after 4hrs of pushing and her telling me I could do it! It's exactly what I needed at that time, and she also did our sons circumcision. I don't think people give Dr. Fee enough credit for all she does. She's seriously amazing, I had no idea all that she did until I went through all that I did (which is why I tried to briefly share it all). Does she talk fast when you see her, yes. Do you have to wait longer to see her, yes. It's truly worth it to me and if you don't want to wait just see one of the other Nurses. You have to keep in mind that Dr. Fee could get called away at any time to deliver a baby, hence throwing off appointments the rest of the day. Thanks Dr. Fee for all you've done for me and my family, you truly are the best! read more

I love this office, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I especially love Teri, she is the nurse practitioner that has been seeing me for past months, she is extremely knowledgeable and super sweet. I've seen Dr. Fee once and she is also very knowledgeable and sweet, couldn't ask for a better team to take care of my baby. read more

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 efficient.is my review of Dr. Fee and her staff. read more

See all

Dr. Fee did not answer my questions, she did not listen to me, she was condescending and she seemed in a hurry to be done with me! She seems like she just wants to bill for Unnecessary procedures! Do not go to her! read more

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. Yelp 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. read more

Everything about pregnancy is hard, getting pregnant, all those fun body changes, things you can and cannot do, etc. But the most important thing is finding the right person to help monitor and provide the right medical guidance along the way. We were so lucky to have found Dr. Fee and her staff! I cannot rave enough about how friendly each and every person is in this office, from the girls up front to the medical assistants, the two nurse practitioners and Dr Fee herself. Throughout my pregnancy I would be in the office every month until the end where I would visit biweekly and then weekly. Anytime I had any questions of issues with billing or appointment conflicts, they would be quickly resolved by her friendly front desk staff. The medical assistants were very knowledgeable and with each visit they would review the visit and go over any concerns I was having and would explain any procedures that would be happening at my appointment. When making the appointments you have the option of seeing Dr Fee, Tary or Michelle. Many of my appointments were with Tary. She was wonderful, so warm and easy to talk to. There are very few downside to this office. It is important to note that there is often a wait and visits with Dr Fee are brief - she is very to the point and likes to get down to business. My advice to you is to come prepared for your appointment, if you have questions write them down so when the time comes you don't forget. Also, they do not do ultrasounds here so you will have to go to another facility which depending on how anxious you are to see how your little nugget has grown (gonna go on a limb and say very) can be a bit irritating. When it comes to birthing, Dr. Fee delivers at St. Joseph's which thankfully is very close by. And despite her brevity during our visits, this woman knows her stuff and remembered things about our birthing plan. I had a back birth (which I would never wish upon anyone) and usually those require c-sections but I was very adamant about a natural birth. And Dr. Fee is one of the only doctors out there with the knowledge and skill to make that hope come true for me! I am so appreciative for her and her staff. read more

She's an amazing doctor-5 stars. Yes, the wait is horrendous and the front office staff is rude (I mean really rude and very dimissive) but the doctor is great. I feel comfortable with her and her nurse is top notch. read more

I had my baby (1st baby) 2 yrs ago but I am still tramatized. If you want to go in and out quickly then you have to see one of the nurse practitioners or you'll end up waiting an hour or more for Dr. Fee (the receptionist told me waiting for the Dr. is normal) Since I was working and needed to go back to work quickly, I always saw the Nurse Practioner. The day I went in for my 7 month check up, I told the NP i was having slight cramps. She checked me and sent me to work saying everything was normal. About an hour later, she called me and says " You need to go home asap on bedrest, your urine test shows Preterm Labor Contractions" I was told not to walk around too much that was it. No medications were given . No other instructions were given. That night , I started having strong contractions so I went to the ER. I was given shots to stop the contractions and then sent home. This kept happening. Contractions kept coming back and eventually a few days later, I gave birth to a 7 month baby. This was the first time i saw Dr. Fee. Life with a premature baby was the hardest thing I've ever endured. He was in the NICU for over a month and we had a really rough time for the next year I would say. He was only 3 lbs so we had to constantly feed him day and night which wore both my husband and I out . He was weaker than a full term baby so everything was tougher than usual. I had postpartum depression because I was so tired and being a new mom made it worse. I would say this Dr has way too many patients (I think only cuz other doctors recommended her. That's why I went to her. I figured if other doctors are recommending her, she must be good. WAS I WRONG )and so I was only another sheep in the herd. I feel like if she (or her NP) was paying more attention to my situation ( having preterm contractions ) somehow maybe they would've been able to prevent him coming so early. When I went back for my postnatal check up, I decided to make an appt with the actual doctor. I fell asleep on the couch waiting for her, it was like an hour and a half and she saw me for literally 5 minutes while she did a pap smear ( WHICH HURT LIKE HELL - TRAMATIZED ME FOR LIFE) . She did not warn me that if I'm breastfeeding , it will dry me out so the pap smear will be painful. I actually let out a scream Overall, I will never forget the awful experience and hope this review will prevent other women from going through what I went through .... read more

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. read more

Took my teen daughter to Dr. Fee and I was impressed. The wait times are short and the staff is amazing. Thank you!

I was recommended by my primary physician to visit Dr. Fee. I called during the lunch hour (12:30) and was told to call back at 2pm to make an appointment. No problem, people need lunch....A long lunch?.. but I get it. Called back at 2pm and the same receptionist answered and said that they were out to lunch and to call back at 2pm. I responded that it was 2pm and she retorted back rudely "It doesn't say 2pm on my clock!" A simple "They're not back yet" or "They need to get things organized" "..blah blah blah" would have worked. But the response oozed attitude. Needless to say I took it as a sign that if the staff works like this, I don't need to visit this doctor. I promptly called my primary physician, told her my experience and got a new name of a doctor. read more

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!!! read more

My last office visit proved that Dr. Janis Fee isn't worth my time or insurance money. She spent about 15 minutes with me in the exam room. This gynecologist never ordered any blood tests nor did she ever give me detailed instructions on the proper dosing or monitoring of my estrogen hormone replacement cream. When I had contacted my pharmacy, my faxed prescription didn't have any physician refills. The office staff also sent in the wrong prescription to a compounding pharmacy. I had to make a separate trip to their office to straigten out this serious medication mixup. When I recently went to pick up my medical records, the front office staff was disrespectful towards me telling me to leave their office as they wouldn't release all of my medical information to me. read more

What an exceptional duo. Dr. Fee & NP Taryl are everything a woman is looking for. I was long suffering and went to various doctors who couldn't figure out my issues. Went to see the NP who has an incredible bedside manner and was very empathetic to my concerns. Sent me out to complete labs and ultrasound. Came back and found out that I needed surgery. Dr. Fee consulted with me and had all the info from the NP and gave me her honest opinion and expressed her concerns. I put my life in her hands and she like the awesome doctor she is took care of me. I can't thank them enough. I also don't want to leave out the great front and back office staff along with their surgery coordinator. Those girls are also an asset to the practice and it shows that they care. Especially love seeing Morgan's warm smile. It's nice to know that you are being taken care of and I can't recommend them enough. read more

I have no doubt Dr. Fee is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in her field. I had surgery with her earlier this year and she did a wonderful job- minimal scarring and recovery process had no complications . I am filled with gratitude with Dr. Fee's knowledge and work on me. She caught my fibroids quickly after my primary doctor has missed them. Thank you Dr. Fee!! However with that being said, a few notes: 1) wait time in her office is about 30 minutes in the lobby. It seems like she has a ton of patients. Plan accordingly 2) contrary to previous yelpers, the receptionist, nurses and office staff is very polite and helpful. They always greet me with a smile especially Brandi! 3) She is quick and can be brief. Dr. Fee's bedside manner is not the best. Maybe it's because she has so many patients? Each time I would see her for an appointment, she was brief and didn't explain things thoroughly. I ended up going back to ask a lot of questions afterwards that could have been addressed by Dr. Fee during the initial consult. After my surgery, I did not see her and was cared for and discharged by the hospital nurses. I did not see her until my two week post op. Maybe it's not necessary to have the Dr. there while in the hospital, but it's incredibly reassuring to see your Dr. after surgery and I didn't have that experience. 4) Dr. Fee does surgeries on Wednesdays which means she doesn't do appointments on those days. Her Nurse Practitioners are very friendly, knowledgeable and will see patients on those days. That also means Dr. Fee is experienced with surgeries because she does them so often. Do I trust Dr. Fee with my health care needs? Yes absolutely. Could her bedside manner better? Yes indeed. read more

This being my second pregnancy, I can say this is the best OB that I've seen. The staff are extremely nice and attentive. The NPs are very knowledgeable (of course) and patient with all my questions. The office in a good location with plenty of parking and a nice view from the patient rooms. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Fee and her office. I saw her NP Taryl for most of my check ups, and Dr. Fee when it was getting closer to my due day. Everyone was so helpful and gave us so much support every step of the way. During labor Dr. Fee was amazing, super calm and professional. I was overall very impressed and grateful for the love and support they showed me! read more

LOVE all the NP's and LOVE Dr. Fee. Yes, there is quite a wait for Dr. Fee but she is the best. She is quick and direct.... if you want to ask 50 questions make an appt with an NP. They have more time. Dr. Fee is not gentle but she is the best, I cannot stress this enough. All of the nurses at the hospital I gave birth at even go to her. What better recommendation could you have? When I was 5 months pregnant I got kidney stones and she had me admitted to the hospital, she called several times to the hospital to check my status. When I had my baby she was supportive of my wishes and I felt like she "had my back". She was very quick when it came time to have my lil guy. As long as I don't move far away I will always go to Dr Fee! read more

As a new patient was very happy with the office staff and nurse practitioner I saw. My wait was minimal. Test results were provided promptly. They even obtained my records from my previous Dr. very quickly. Very happy!!! read more

Great OBGYN, she's friendly but professional. The Nurse practioners are awesome also and so are the office staff. When giving birth to my first I had to have an emergency c-section and she was calm and comforting during a stressful time. The only issue would be that she's super busy so you may not be able to see her every visit. But overall a great environment and would recommend her to anyone! read more

Dr. Fee is okay! She's a very sweet lady. Her NP has waaaaaaay better bed side manor. As far as her staff make sure you call with a quite background, I unfortunately made the mistake of calling with my toddler near by and was told by the office manager to call back when I was ready to schedule an appointment because I wasn't giving her my attention. I remember saying to my my son, be careful then proceeded with my conversation but was then hung up on after I asked my toddler to hold on. I mean come on she delivered by child but I'm not allowed to have him around. Terrible customer service. Most of the medical assistants are ok, however I did get a follow my health message from one of the medical assistance NORMA giving me a life threatening diagnosis not confirmed with Dr Fee. If you can avoid it do go here. I was alway on egg shells during my pregnancy because I was told with no regard that I would be give birth to a steal born. read more

I've never written a negative review in my life. I just felt compelled to do so. I had an appointment with Dr. Fee for a biopsy today. I've been mensturating for two and half months now with little breaks. A few weeks ago nurse Michelle prescribed a medication to stop the bleeding. About a week ago I fainted and hit my head. I had to go to the ER and get staples. I've been extremely tired, sleeping 12 to 13 hours every night. I asked her if I could get a doctor's note to extend my absence from work for two more days. She responded with, "You're not disabled." I couldn't believe it. She seemed so put off to say the least. If you're looking for a caring doctor, save your money and your time. I will not be going back. I don't care how qualified she is. Bedside manner is on the top of my list. I want to add, nurse Michelle was very warm and empathetic when I called to inform her of how the medication didn't agree with me. This is why I'm giving this office two stars. read more

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 Yelp (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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The ladies at this office are always so sweet, very informative and super helpful w all/any of my questions! Dr. Fee is very nice and professional. I've also seen Dr. Washington and she's very nice/professional as well.. all Drs I have seen have made me feel very comfortable. I love coming here because it's no hassle, and they check up on me once a year to remind me I need to make an apt. for my bc! read more

I would like to thank Dr Fee and her staffs to help me going through high risk pregnancy with my twins. Dr Fee was able to deliver my twins at St Joseph naturally. Pros: - staffs are helpful, friendly and on top of things. Brandi always smiles and greeted me. - Dr Fee is a genius. During my delivery, there were three other doctors and at least seven more nurses and Dr Fee took charge of everything. Me delivering my twins naturally was the easiest part of the whole pregnancy. - Everyone knows her and speaks highly of her. She handles a lot of patients but she remembers everything. I know some reviews mentioned about long wait and very short exam, unfortunately if you want the best of the bests, you just have to wait in line and get the best of her valuable time since there are other patients waiting to see her also - both nurse Teryl n Michelle are great also. The office will ask who you will want to see. - Dr Fee is very thorough with making sure my pregnancy stays healthy, lots of lab orders and monitoring. I was on disability weeks prior to my delivery because she wanted to make sure the pregnancy was sustainable. She had to provide so many letters to my demanding employer. - Dr Fee is very friendly and personable. She has this positive energy that helped calm my anxiety Cons: - no ultrasound technician in Dr Fee office, you will have to go somewhere else. And the two imaging places I went that the office referred, were not willing to show the ultrasound due to legal restrictions. - if you have to deal with Susan at the office, you will need to push her a little bit, she is a bit reluctant when you ask her for some help that requires more work. I would highly recommend her, if I could give her 10 starts, I will. read more

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!!!!! read more

This staff is cold and incosiderate of your feelings and your time. As far as the Dr. I really can't say. After going to this doctors office 5 times I only met her once. They will give you a hard time transferring your records and and they will treat you like less than just another # while you're there. If you like waiting an hour and a half past your appointment and then being told that you might not get seen because they may not have time then this is the office for you. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Fee for over 12 years. I travel from Riverside to OC because I think Dr Fee is probably the best Ob/Gyn in Ca!! She has delivered all three of my children.. She was there also when I miscarried one pregnancy. She is very professional also very caring and I would trust her with my lIfe! When I was in labor With my second child she came in the middle of the night to deliver my haby! She was not on call and didn't have to.... but she did! Because she is just that way! She gets too know her patients and if I have to wait awhile longer to see her I will... She is worth it! She never makes me feel rushed!! I'll continue to travel to get the care Dr Fee provides!! Can't say one negative thing about her!!! read more

Dr. Fee needs to retrain her employees. I was there recently and there were few pregnant ladies in the waiting room ...so it was shocking to see the lady behind the desk sneezed couple of times without covering her mouth or turning away from the waiting room! I don't think anyone noticed this but they should. If anyone who is pregnant and sitting close to her desk, they should be concerned. It is just common consideration for others, that's all. read more
