Jonathan Fellus
Introduction
Jonathan Fellus is a Morris County, New Jersey neurologist who primarily practiced at Advanced Neurocare in Randolph and who was suspended from the practice of medicine while the state seeks to revoke his license — after investigators found he allegedly evaded and concealed his noncompliance with a 2018 consent order requiring a chaperone whenever he saw female patients, restrictions imposed because of his previous sexual misconduct. Fellus agreed to the temporary suspension in an interim consent order filed January 14, 2026; the state announced it on February 6, 2026.
Background Information
Fellus’s medical license had been revoked four years before the 2018 order as a result of an improper relationship with a patient. The chaperone requirement was the condition of the Board of Medical Examiners’ reinstatement of his license, and the 2018 consent order went further — banning social contact with female patients to prevent future misconduct and protect the public. He had since built a practice at Advanced Neurocare in Randolph and served as medical director for the Complete Wellness Spa chain.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Suspended, not criminally charged. This is an administrative licensing action pending a hearing; the state’s allegations are not findings by a criminal court.
The Division of Consumer Affairs found that Fellus sought to evade the chaperone requirement and tried to conceal his failure to comply by falsely claiming he sees female patients at a location in New York, where he is permitted to practice without restrictions. Investigators also allege Fellus contacted female patients to discourage them from cooperating with Board investigators who were checking whether he was complying with the chaperone requirement.
The interim consent order suspending Fellus pending a hearing also expressly prohibits him from serving as medical director at any Complete Wellness Spa location or other medical practice in New Jersey, bars him from treating New Jersey residents anywhere in or out of the state until a full trial on the verified complaint concludes, prohibits him from supervising any health practitioner in connection with medicine in New Jersey, and bars him from charging or sharing in any fee for professional services in the state after February 4, 2026.
Public Reaction and Consequences
Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said: “Patients place a great deal of trust in their medical providers, and allegations that a physician has repeatedly ignored safeguards required to protect patients are extremely concerning.” She added: “Physicians who continue to place patients at risk will lose their licenses and face serious consequences for their misconduct.”
Jeremy E. Hollander, acting director of the Division of Consumer Affairs, said: “This doctor’s alleged conduct, if proven, demonstrates an utter contempt for the Board’s authority and a disregard for patient safety that will not be tolerated.” Temporarily removing Fellus from practice until the matter is resolved, he said, “is necessary to protect the public.”
The suspension also cost Fellus his medical-director role across the Complete Wellness Spa chain, which the interim order expressly bars him from holding at any New Jersey practice, and the state directed patients who believe they were treated inappropriately by a licensed health professional to file complaints with the Division of Consumer Affairs.
Current Status
Fellus is suspended from practice under the interim consent order while the Board of Medical Examiners considers the state’s petition to revoke his license. A full administrative trial on the verified complaint remains ahead of any final determination.
No criminal charges have been reported in the matter. Whether the Board revokes the license outright, whether Fellus contests the state’s evasion allegations at the hearing, and whether additional patients come forward remain open questions.
Impact on Their Career/Life
The suspension strips Fellus of everything the 2018 reinstatement allowed him to rebuild — his Randolph practice, the medical-director role at the Complete Wellness Spa chain, the right to treat New Jersey patients anywhere, and any fee income from New Jersey professional services. A physician who had already lost his license once for an improper relationship with a patient now faces a revocation petition built on the state’s finding that he engineered his way around the one safeguard meant to make his second chance safe.
