I wish I could give 3.5 stars for Good. I believe Dr. Fontenot is better than average when it comes to his surgical skills. However, if you have any issues beyond the expected with any surgical procedure, he may not be very receptive to your concerns.

I was in to discuss possible knee replacement. Dr. Fontenot did a great job explaining the benefits and risks of the surgery so that I could make up my mind.

Listened to me, did a great job with my hip replacement and gave me back 1.5 inches I lost when I broke my hip, and is helping me at my request plan a complicated knee replacement after first taking out a tibia plateau. I recommend him and his team highly.
