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??
