Initial evaluation was professional, and thorough. Dr Fontenot’s communication style was clear, showed concern for my condition. He established a plan for my care that considered my goals.

I'll be calling to speak to your practice manager. That was the worst experience I've had with a physician in my entire life. I don't care how talented he is. To say that he was rude and condescending in the office is an understatement. He was unhinged.
