Both my dad and I have been patients of Dr. Fondren for almost 3 years now and I couldn’t imagine going to anybody else! I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait before at least being seen by the wonderful staff, who take my vitals and take me to the back. Dr. Fondren doesn’t just diagnose and kick you out... he genuinely cares about your overall well-being. Dr. F meets with each patient for a solid amount of time and uses his expertise to either cure you or assemble a team to get you on the right track. There is nobody else I’d rather see regarding my health. Thank you Dr F!

Dr. Fondren is "out of network" for my insurance, but I would not be treated by anyone else. I have been seeing him for many years now, and I am doing better and feeling better than I have in years after following his advice. One Great Doctor!

I've been going to Dr. Fondren for several years. I've been extremely impressed with the time, and follow up he spends with his patients, how he remembers details about them, and his overal skill and mannerisms.

Dr Fondren does a very complete and thorough examination every time I visit. I have never waited over 5 minutes, which is a testimony to his friendly and efficient staff. I have had 3 to 4 doctors in the past, but Dr Fondren will be my last. Give him a try, you will be happy!!
