Todd E. Fountain, MD is a board-certified neurosurgeon who specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery and robotic-assisted spine surgery for cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine conditions. In 2023 and 2024, he was even recognized as a Top Doctor in Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery.

“During my training at the Mayo Clinic,” Dr. Fountain said. “The motto was always clear, ‘The needs of the patient come first.’ This is my continued and constant focus—to treat every patient with respect, truly listen to them, assess their needs, and provide the absolute best care for success.”
Ready for a new adventure, Dr. Fountain and his wife, Rebecca, found that the Lafayette area and Louisiana Orthopaedic Specialists have fulfilled all of their expectations in what they are looking for in a new home. On behalf of the entire LOS team, we are excited about his addition to our practice and medical community and the positive impact he will have in Lafayette and beyond.

Excellent Dr.Fountain and Adam and the nurse Tammy
He is awesome truly cares for his patients !!
Very caring.
Explanations with clarity
Very thorough
I have never been treated so unprofessionally in the medical field. He could have let me know prior to my appointment with him ,that I waited over 2 1/2 months for, that he did not want to treat me.
Great Doctor, and the staff is even more amazing.
My concern is the lack of direct communication with the specialist who performed my surgery. I have attended follow-up appointments but have been seen by the PA without the surgeon coming into the room to speak with me directly. As a patient receiving and paying for specialist care, I expect some direct follow-up and communication with my surgeon, particularly after surgery. Although I appreciate the PA and the care provided, there is a disconnect in the doctor-patient relationship as my specialist.
