I had a TKR one year ago. My knee is doing great and I couldn't be more pleased. He was proud that my range of motion exceed his expectations.

Dr. Fontenot was lovely, especially when he called me earlier in the week. He also made a decision that was really helpful to me and that I appreciate very much even though it is not exactly what their protocol dictates. I appreciate his discernment in this matter.unfortunately, I am still not used to the usual practice in which you meet with your surgeon for approximately three minutes. I can’t think quite as fast as they move, but I know that is how medicine is practice these days.
