How likely are you to recommend Dr. Fontenot?
Dr. Fontenot was the anesthesiologist for my mother's triple bypass and valve replacement surgery. My mom also has severe C.O.P.D., which made his job even more challenging. Due to his skills and experience, my mom came through surgery with flying colors. We are very grateful to Dr. Fontenot for his expertise and his "reassurance" when he said, "she'll be challenging, but, I love a good challenge".
