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.
At Louisiana Orthopaedic Specialists, he will help treat patients with different types of spinal issues, including herniated discs, spinal arthritis and stenosis, complex spine problems, spinal cord tumors, and peripheral nerve issues. With his unique expertise and skill set, he will work alongside our four other spine specialists to provide a comprehensive level of spinal care for Acadiana.
“LOS is accomplishing something special, and it was immediately apparent when meeting the dedicated physicians and health care staff,” said Dr. Fountain. “I knew I had found a new home and family where we could continue to grow both spiritually and professionally.”
Before joining our team, Dr. Fountain practiced for 15 years at the Semmes Murphey Clinic in Memphis, TN, which is a leading destination for neurosurgical care in the United States. He completed his medical school training at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and his Neurosurgery Residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN before serving as a Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of the Neurosurgical Fellowship through the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
“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.

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.
Loved Dr Fountain! Very thorough and took time to explain what needed to be done and reasons why. Highly recommend!
Lafayette is lucky to have him.
I love that he treated ME, the person, while helping to discover the underlying issues
It wa a just a consult but he was so informative, explained everything, very honest about what to expect. The staff was fabulous. Super efficient, very informative , flowed so well. Loved ir
Dr. Fountain is an excellent physician. He performed a spinal fusion for me. Dr. Fountain’s nurse practitioner, Adam-Paul, was also first class. I have had extremely good results with my recovery. I am quickly returning to normal.
Very good visit
Dr.Fountain took as long as I needed to fully explain the situation with my back after a previous surgery by another surgeon. He addressed concerns I had about the condition of my back and told me what my several options were going forward. I left feeling satisfied that concerns I had were fully addressed and explained. I would highly recommend him for consultations regarding spinal issues.
Very knowledgeable and personable; Adam was great as he was very prompt in returning my calls as we worked on balancing the pain meds.
