I love Dr. Fontenot, she is extremely thorough and works very hard to explain everything to me so that I can understand. I followed her diet tips with the medications she prescribed and have lost 24 lbs. I don't feel rushed when I see her, she spends the entire time with me. I typically wait less then 5 minutes to see her. Love her and will continue to follow up.

Have been a patient for 5 years, doesn't run many tests. Have been going back to her for the same issue for the last 2 years but still no real attention or tests. Her referrals usually are a disappointment.

This person should have chosen another profession. If you want someone that has no compassion for her patients, doesn't listen to what you have to say, and can't diagnose a medical problem, make an appointment.
