John C Fletcher MD

On calling his office, I found that Dr. Fletcher has retired. I thought people here would find the information useful.

I just want to mention Dr. Fletcher retired a month ago. :-(I almost cried when he told me. There is a new doctor taking his place and I will definitely try her because I know Dr. Fletcher would only hire the best. But I am going to miss him!

Dr Fletcher is the best. I have been a patient for over 20 years and seldom do I need to see him. But when I do, He will often times see me at his lunch time or early the next day. Thankfully most visit end up with me going home, cool it for a few days and
what ever it was, will heal itself. Just knowing that he is there is a provides a great sense of relief. I wish he were twenty years younger, because when I become old
I hope I have a fine person like him to consult. His office staff are a joy to talk with.

I spent several hours looking through available primary care physicians in the Brown and Toland group, and on Unilocal,for a doctor for my hubby. I am one of those people who is very picky about docs, and finding a doctor who truly comes across like they are patient, and are listening, is really important to me.
Thanks so much to all the Unilocalers who took the time to praise Dr. Fletcher. It was worth it for me to do all that research here on Unilocal (so, thanks to Unilocal,as well!). You would not believe how many doctors either had NO ratings, or they had low ratings, either because the doctor didn’t have good bedside manner, OR because the staff was rude or disorganized. But not the case with Dr. Fletcher’s office!
I was overjoyed to find out that an appointment had just opened up the next day, so I booked it right away. As the reviews indicated here on Unilocal,Dr. Fletcher’s bedside manner is incredible. Oh and his staff was awesome too, very polite and accomodating, organized, explained everything well. I worked in a doctor’s office once, over 20 years ago, and know it is a HARD job. So kudos to these ladies for keeping things running so smoothly!
We had an appt. booked with a very young, female primary care physician a few days prior, but my husband cancelled that appt. because he really wanted someone who was more experienced. Several times, during the appointment with Dr. Fletcher, I kept thinking about what a huge difference there would have been, between the two primary care physicians. I am guessing the other doc (who was a young woman focused more on pediatrics… I had only booked her because she had several slots available) would have just taken a quick look at him and referred him to a specialist. No offense to her, she just didn’t have the years behind her!
But Dr. Fletcher had decades of experience and knowledge to draw from, and really took his time with my husband, asking many details. Instead of sending him to a specialist, he was able to give my hubby his own recommendations, prescriptions, etc. I was very impressed.
One thing I want to point out about going to this office… be careful when using a GPS, especially if you do not live in the city. When I saw 3838 California on the map, I assumed it must be the California Pacific Medical Center, where my brother had his baby. I should have just skpped the GPS, but nooo. And for some reason my GPS (the one on my phone: an Android MyTouch Q) told me to drive straight past it! It had us going all the way down to the 4700 block of California, insisting the doctor’s office was in a residential area?!? It did not help matters that we were already late due to an accident on 101, so I really appreciate Dr. Fletcher’s (and the staff’s) patience, and the fact that Dr. Fletcher didn’t rush my husband through his appointment.
Thank you again Dr. Fletcher and your great staff, for all that you do. My husband actually said to me, as soon as his appt. was over: «I like him.» And coming from my husband, who is just about as picky and sensitive as I am… that is saying a lot.

The most amazing, warmest, intelligent, patient doctor I have ever had. He knows his stuff, has a calming demeanor, and LISTENS. Love Dr Fletcher and am so grateful for all of his help over the years.

So I had my first appointment with Dr. Fletcher this morning, and he was the best! Listened to all my questions, asked some questions, and was very thorough. I’m so glad that I picked him as my new PCP.
If you are looking for a good doctor go see Dr. Fletcher if you can.

Since my Doctor retired (I think I had been seeing him for 20 years). I did a search and came up with Doctor Fletcher.
Well the Doc is not a spring chicken but he is a great doctor none the less. Dr Fletcher still has a very personal touch and is more concerned with the patient than with the insurance protocol.
I think the only downside is that he will probably retire in a few years (heaven forbid). And probably you have to be a bit more proactive of what you need… but that is probably the trend in healthcare.
If you want an old school, caring doctor, who takes the time to listen to you… Check Out this Doctor.

I’ve had three appointments with Dr. Fletcher and he has been incredibly warm and kind each time. In addition, I was amazed by how he quickly ruled out my past diagnoses and nailed the actual etiology of my adominal pain within the first 20 minutes of meeting (after years and years of being misdiagnosed by 3 – 4 GI docs, with GERD and acid reflux)! He gave me a prescription and I have not experienced the symptoms since
He has excellent clinical skills and he put me at ease immediately and has been a strong advocate for most all my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Fletcher for his excellent quality of care.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Fletcher yesterday, on an urgent basis, to determine a course of treatment for a tiny blood clot found in my leg post-​achilles rupture surgery.
What a delight he is. Great bedside manner, without rush or leaving me with the feeling (as so many MDs do) that he had to get to the next patient. I have found this a recurring theme in established MDs, who are well into their careers and accomplishments.
I feel confident in his care and, quite honestly, look forward to seeing him again at my follow-​up visit and subsequent overall physical exam.

Dr. Fletcher is incredibly nice and thorough. I am kind of paranoid about health, and he really helped put me at ease. The only problem I have ever had is with his reception staff — they seem pretty disorganized at times.
