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.

Great found him to be very careful and wanting to see exactly what he could through MRI
Very caring and conservative doctor! Did not make me feel rushed and pushed into surgery. Suggested numerous other avenues for my pain.
Possibly the nicest most thorough Doctor I have ever met.
Very informative about the procedure and have us the pros and cons. Would definitely recommend him to anyone else.
He was very Friendly and took his time going over my diagnosis and the options for it!
My visit with Dr Fountain went well. He took his time to thoroughly explain everything about my condition and he answered all of my questions. I recommend him highly.
Dr.Fountain is top notch as well as his team! I’m so grateful for having being sent to LOS.. Years I’ve been battling my neck and scared of surgery. All I can say is I should have came years ago.
A doctor with integrity who listens to you and makes a plan for your ailment. Not like the ones that just don’t want to deal with your problems. Dr Todd Fountain has the best bedside manner and wants to get to the root of your problem. He really wants to help you as best as he can.
Explained everything so we could understand. Very nice.
Good man and spinal surgeon. Easy to communicate with and I like his clear easy to follow explanations with realistic expectations.
