Totally impressed by Dr Fountain's knowledge, demeanor & compassion. For surgery, his bedside manner calmed me & gave me confidence in his expertise. I woke with minimal surgical pain & zero cervical stenosis pain. He is a remarkable physician who truly cares about his patients concerns & healing. First folliw up visit was remarkable. His surgical expertise has made a big difference for my life. Looking forward to living with no stenosis pain. Thank you Dr Fountain!!
Dr. Fountain explained my diagnosis with much care and I’m grateful and trusting on him to manage my condition. Thank you Dr. fountain.
Dr. Fountain is a very professional & talented orthopedic surgeon. He is also very good at explaining the surgery and what to expect. He used Non Invasive Surgery to remove a bulging disk and to fuse two vertebra which allowed for a very quick recovery.
Love his perspective ‘what I do is FOR my patients not TO my patients’.
Very kind. Thorough and explained everything well.
