Horrible experience. Not a good doctor, not a good person. Had a fall down stairs. Had to suggest physical therapy myself. Told me I was old and compared me to an old car...no good after a number of years!! After a year, went to another ortho doc. Told permanent damage, should have come sooner. Pain management suggested.

Dr. Fontana is extremely rude and condescending. At my second visit he made me wait almost 4 hours in the waiting area in the back, and took every patient that arrived after me in before me. I followed his instructions he gave me for my broken leg exactly, and when I went back for my follow up he blamed me for my slow progress and insisted he had never given me the instructions that he had at the previous appt. I had 2 family members with me at my appointments and we all heard the same thing.
