Dr. Fontanet is the best cardiologist around. When we 1st move to FL from PR in 1991 my mother got Dx with CHF. Dr. Fontanet treated my mother and Im forever greatful for all he did for her. He always went above and beyond. After a while he became a family friend (even had Thanksgiving together). This is a Doctor that really cares about his presientopatients. 1000?

I came to Dr. Fontanet from a friend who referred me. They were right, he is the best! So thorough, caring and just makes you feel like you're his only patient. My husband referred him to someone at work and they say the same thing. He is someone I trust with my health care and has a wonderful and caring staff. Wish they had more stars - especially bedside manner and time spent with me!

Dr. Fontanet was my doctor after a conjestive heart failure in 1999. Their is no doubt that he saved my life, unfortunately I moved away in 2005. I have yet to find a Cardioligist that compares to Dr. Fontanet. If I could offer a rateing higher then four, I would rate him 100. In selecting the best, I would urge that you go to him, you will not regret it.

Dr Fontanet kept me from having my fourth heart surgery by correctly diagnosing something that another Cardiologist misread on my echo.He's been my Cardiologist since 1997 and has helped me MANY MANY times over the years!I'm very fortunate to have him as my Cardiologist!
