Dr. Fontenot took his time with me, did a thorough assessment of my history, physical examination and imaging studies before making suggestions for treatment. He really listens and cares and is not just to schedule another surgery quickly.

To this point the surgery is like a night and day compared to the last total knee replacement on my left knee. Less pain mobility seems to be better to this point.
