As Dr. Fee states it best, “I try to place myself in my patient’s shoes with the goal of getting them back to a productive and active life as soon as possible. Their happiness is what is important to me and I want to make sure I take the time to address their concerns and answer their questions.”

A native of Sioux City, Iowa, Dr. Fee received his medical degree with honors from the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine. Subsequently, he completed his residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center and a fellowship in Infectious Disease at USC+LA County Medical Center.
