How likely are you to recommend Dr. Fontenot?
maybe 10 yrs or so ago diff primary dr i had tried to get me in to see this remarkable man. went to another who had on blinders. (for another time). i finally referred & got appt to see this guy. no clue what to expect - except that maybe he’s gotten better n 10 yrs. he speaks english & TO me not AT me. i do believe he has a plan, but i need patience, which is not hard to swallow since he speaks the truth. ALL OF ABOVE MEANS I REALLY COMPLETELY TRUST DR FONTENOT & i’ve not been able to say that for s long time. THANKS for reading/listening!
