About John Fenice, MD, FAAFP, FASAM

Every patient’s health is a complex, interconnected story. My journey to family medicine began with the realization of just how holistic that story needs to be. I began my medical career training as a podiatrist; I focused on a specific path and not the whole person.
 
While I valued the clinical precision of the field, I quickly realized that I did not want to be pigeonholed into treating only one aspect of the human body. I wanted to understand and care for the entire person. This desire to see the bigger picture, to connect the dots between lifestyle, biology, and well-being, ultimately drove me to family medicine. As a family physician, I am privileged to treat the whole individual, recognizing that no system in the body functions in isolation.
 
My professional journey also led me deep into addiction medicine. This experience fundamentally shaped who I am as a clinician. It taught me how to meet people exactly where they are, without judgment. In my practice, there is no room for stigma—only empathy and collaboration. My patients know they can bring their most difficult, sensitive, and vulnerable topics to me. Creating a safe, compassionate space is the absolute foundation of effective healthcare.
 
Too often, modern medicine focuses strictly on lifespan—simply adding years to a life. My goal for my patients is longevity, which encompasses both lifespan and healthspan. I want to ensure that the years you live are vibrant, active, and full of cognitive and physical vitality. Achieving true longevity requires moving away from reactive "sick-care" and moving toward proactive, highly personalized wellness.
 
To practice medicine this way, the most valuable resource is time. This is why I am transitioning my practice to MDVIP. In my new practice, we are not rushed. By limiting the size of my practice, I can offer you:
•    Comprehensive screenings and diagnostics that go beyond what’s usually covered by insurance. An in-depth analysis and advanced diagnostic testing that look far beyond standard blood panels.
•    Time to listen deeply to your history, concerns, and personal goals.
•    A true partnership where we co-create a proactive roadmap for your long-term health.
•    Same- or next-day appointments
 
Whether we are managing chronic conditions, navigating complex transitions, or optimizing your baseline wellness, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will build a foundation for a long, healthy, and exceptionally lived life.

I’ve had a really good experience with this doctor’s office. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The doctors takes the time to listen and actually makes you feel heard instead of rushed through the appointment. Scheduling has been easy, and I’ve always felt like my concerns were taken seriously. Overall, I’m very happy with the care I’ve received and would definitely recommend this office to others.

Literally the worst 'care' I've ever witnessed. I cannot advise against going to this office more. If I could give 0 stars, I would.
I accompanied my mother to her visit for an unknown, serious issue. She was "seen" by Brooke who could barely look up from the computer she was typing on. She hardly examined her before deciding she should be treated for constipation - well 1 month later my mother couldn't take it anymore and went to the hospital where it was quickly determined the constipation Brooke 'treated' her for was in reality a SEVERE spinal fracture and infection in her spine - currently she has lost all mobility in her legs and is unable to walk.
Had this office, and Brooke, actually given her proper care and time at her appointment, my mother would be in a completely different situation than she is now. The lack of care received by Dr. Fenice's office only allowed her infection to grow and her condition to worsen.
Again, I CANNOT advise against going to this office and their doctors or physician assistants any more. You will get the opposite of care.

I've been coming here to see Dr. John Fenice and Brooke, his Physician Assistant for the last 3 years, got my physical, vaccines, and other needs address with their prompt, expert service.

The office is easy to get to off Kirkwood Highway right near all the majority roadways and businesses. The office is misleading, with many patient rooms surrounding the reception desk with the team taking care of incoming calls.

Don't get me wrong, the medical expertise of the team is unparalleled with Dr. Fenice catching up with you before address and listening to your issues and medical concerns but the star of the office is his furry companion Charlie who will make his rounds say hi to his patients and making sure that you have your needed dog doses.

I try to start the healthy best I can, but when you need medical needs address the team at Hertitage can support your well-being.

I have a script that still has medicine let on but need an updated authrization form. I called my insurance company and Sherry faxed information needed and a phone number where to call and get updated information from doctor. Insurance told me to contact my doctor as well and this was Monday morning. I get a call back to call them. I called Tuesday and got answer machine and another call back to call them. I called 3xs Wednesday and one time got machine and asked them to let me know in a message what I needed to do next. Then I called again twice and got answering service who either could not hear or spell to write name and number down. So bad, I had to hang up. Now I am still sitting here without needed medicine and cannot get anyone from your office to help me. What a staff and are very rude. I pray someday they do not need meds and cannot get them. Dr Fenice please send in authorization form to my insurance company for Laura Roberts, 6/18/2969 so I can get my meds today. Your staff is not able to do it.

Worst medical experience ever!!!! Very unprofessional!!!! Had a 2:45 appointment and waited hours. Office worker was disrespectful and rude. The patients waiting in waiting room were told to keep it down this is not an AA MEETING but I guess they were there for prescriptions so their behavior was tolerated!!!! I never go back again!!!!

Terrible customer service. Had to get into a long unnecessary discussions out coming in to get a prescription for blood work. Instead of getting the blood work done, then making an appointment to discuss the results. Just another healthcare provider looking to scam my health insurance with unnecessary extra visits and copays. Extremely disappointed.

I was referred to Dr. Fenice by a friend. From the moment I called for an appointment, the staff was so nice and made sure I got in as quickly as possible. When I met Dr. Fenice, he was immediately so understanding and supportive and knew so much about my condition. He made me feel very understood and comfortable!

Dr Fenice is an excellent doctor who is compassionate, intelligent, understanding, and very good at what he does. He has worked with me for a year and a half even when I’ve been in difficult situations. The only complaint I have is that the wait time is often very long. I would recommend Dr Fenice to anyone who needs a primary care doctor or substance abuse treatment.

I called them to make an appointment, It was scheduled after 5days. I went there for an appointment after 5days at 9:30am. I waited there for 1hrs and then I was told that Dr. has an emergency, he cannot take you today. I understand the emergency situation very well but they were taking another patients ... if it is emergency then how they can take another person and not me. I was still OK. but when I ask for reschedule they said we can only give u an appointment after 15-17days. Does it make sense?

If Dr. Fenice has emergency today but he should accommodate me within next 3-5days. Such a bullshit.

Generally I don't take a time to write this kind of reviews, but here I felt that something is really wrong and how Dr. can be irresponsible.

God bless him

4 stars because I love Dr. Fenice and Dr. High, I'm writing because of some recent concerns, I've been a patient since the Milltown office opened and have always been loyal and don't want to change that. yesterday I called to make my quarterly appointment and Jake answered, now I answer phones all day so I know the ringback pickup and put me back on hold trick, that happened twice then I was hung up on. it seems the inside staff is constantly changing and the office seemed over-booked on my last visit, I've never waited more than 20-30 minutes. I hope this calms down and gets rectified, as I said I'm a long time patient and don't deserve to be hung up on, or have to wait an hour just to get to see my Dr. who I love. they were there for me and helped me when I struggled and still do. please know I'm writing this because I care and saw no other forum to comment more privately. you wouldn't regret having these 2 for your physicians, they are tremendous.

HORRIBLE. Doctors are scatter brained and staff is incompetent. First appointment my husband waited 2 hours in the waiting room because they "Couldn't figure out how to say his last name" so he got skipped by "accident". His last name is HUGHES. Not that hard! Second visit, he showed up and they told him there was no appointment booked for him in the system. So they sent him up to the other office for another appointment, an hour and a half later than the first appointment. He gets paid hourly and has lost significant income because of these idiots! When I called to find out what happened, they put me on hold for 6 minutes and let me talk to this lady who sounded clueless and said she had no idea what happened and didn't offer to fix anything. Leaving ASAP.

Dr Fenice is a kind, thoughtful, funny, compassionate, and intelligent doctor with a wide range of expertise. I appreciate the small practice - one doctor, a PA, an NP, and a small staff, all of whom quickly come to know you. I don't mind that this occasionally means a little extra wait in the waiting room. All that means is that one or more patients had more complicated needs than the appointment scheduler expected. It assures me that, should my situation ever require the doctor to spend extra time with me, he would stay as long as was necessary. I have recommended Dr Fenice to several people I know.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
