Excellent Doctor.
Loved his personality, honesty, and to the point
Dr Fontenot is an excellent orthopedic surgeon and is highly knowledgeable. He’s precise, professional, and prompt. He takes time to respond to detailed questions either in office or on portal. I completely trust his decisions and would recommend him to anyone requiring a hip replacement.
He is a great surgeon/physician. Would recommend to anyone. Also is caring for his patients.
Very nice and straight to the point!
Friendly, his confidence made everyone feel at ease. His PA Michelle was as good also.
Thank you for everything.
I felt very comfortable with the Dr and he explained things well for me.
Dr. F. always takes the time to answer my questions, gives me options and is reassuring re: me health. I am grateful he is my doctor.
One indicator that it is not going well is I got my survey before I even saw the doctor. We came on time and everyone who came after us has gone in and we are still waiting.
