I am a fairly recent patient of Dr. Fontenot. He takes an appropriate of time explaining my situation and treatment options. He also gives me ample opportunity to ask questions. His assistants are excellent and helpful.

Daniel is a no nonsense doc, which I like. He does not hesitate to ask for a consult, which I also like.

Dr Fontenot has been my Cardeologist for several years. in the time I have been his patient I have had a heart attack and two set of Stints. Dr Fontenot has always been a straight shooter with me but is able to break it down in layman’s terms. I would and do recommend him to anyone in need of a Cardiologist. He also has a little bed side humor??
