His ability to hear his patients’ hopes and desires enables him to develop and execute a treatment plan that offers them the highest quality results while assuring the best quality of care.

Academically, Dr. Fee earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Denison University with a double major in Chemistry and Biology.

Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), the doctor is board-certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The mission of the ABPS is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education, examination, certification, and continuous certification of plastic surgeons as specialists and subspecialists.

His commitment to his profession and to the highest standards of care has encouraged his travels to third world countries, where he has provided plastic surgery to children through Interplast.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

As a testament to his success, Dr. Fee has been the recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award (2011, 2018), Newsweek Magazine Top Physicians and Surgeons Award (2011), Sunshine State Safety Award, America’s Top Plastic Surgeons Award (2002-2005, 2007, 2009-2010, 2018), Best of Jacksonville Award (2010, 2016-2018), and Vitals Top 10 Doctor.
