Dr. Fontenot is knowledgeable, personable and came highly recommended by another physician. He took time to answer my many questions while being efficient and clear. Though it was only an initial meeting, Dr. F quickly established rapport and trust.

I had a right knee replacement done on June 16, left one was done on September 22, both turned out great! Dr Fontenot told what to expect, what needed to be done afterwards, and how long recovery might take. His staff was also helpful. I used the messaging service on their app & received prompt phone calls back addressing my concerns. I could not ask for a better, well informed and capable doctor.
