I saw Dr Fontenot today for a consultation of my left knee. 1 year ago he did a total knee replacement of my right knee, I am very pleased and wished I had done it sooner. 1 year post surgery I can report that I have recovered well, back to walking 2 + miles each day and gardening. My advice is if you are having total knee replacement surgery you must commit to physical therapy and do the home exercise program as prescribed every day, this is nonnegotiable. Emerge Ortho has an excellent group of highly trained and experienced physical therapist. I also did the pre-operation home exercise program given to me in preparation for surgery. I am team Fontenot all the way, he is a skilled surgeon who listens and gives his honest opinion and advice, I highly recommend him and his entire team at Emerge Ortho.

Dr F is always very easy to talk with. He answers questions and while the appointments are short, he doesn’t make you feel like he’s rushed. He’s also good about dealing with issues that don’t necessarily have to do with the visit.
