Dr. Walstir H Fonseca, MD

I love Dr Fonseca, I know her for many many years. She was my parents dr and she took good care of them now I’m the next patient lol I never know I will be seeing her too as my care provider. Thank you Dr. Fonseca!! ??????

Dr. Fonseca is a wonderful person and a very competent physician. She is professional, yet warm and engaging. I had suffered with migraines and cluster headaches for decades, yet after my first visit with her, and the prescribed medical “cocktail”, I have been headache free for over three years. Were it possible to give this wonderful doctor 10 stars I would give her twenty!

I’ve been a patient if Dr. Fonseca’s for a long time and she’s good. Very direct and doesn’t beat around the bush when talking to patients. She’s a kind lady. The revere health staff isn’t the best. The receptionists are very rude and don’t care about patients.

Terrible patient care. Went here for years and she was terrible at communicating or caring. I doubt she remembers my name and I’ve been going there for 6 years. Completely screwed me over with my anti-depressant prescription. Details in google review.

Love dr. Fonseca she always takes care of me but Ididn't have camera working on my phone, but I told them about that and they said no big deal. So after spending 20 min trying to get the phone camera to work she just called and because my neurologist asked me to have my dr take care of my anemia I felt like my mind fog and fatigue may be because of it. So she just said I'll have them draw blood in 2 weeks. Just felt like she wanted to get off the phone fast and sending me to get blood drawn in 2 weeks was the best way. I have had blood drawn the last 2 weeks. From both of my Drs. I think they are giving me anemia.

I feel that you are very knowledgeable and provide helpful advice and care. Thank you very much.

It all began with 2 visits to the ER for suspected TIAs, because of slurred speech, droopy eye lid and unsteady gait. All tests were clear, but the ER referred me to some neurologists anyway, just in case. They also advised me to make an appt. with my GP. I made an appointment with Fonseca. As I was telling her about what happened and my symptoms, she cut me off and said that the reason for my symptoms was fatigue. She asked her assistant to run blood tests on my iron and thyroid. She didn't even offer to refer me to a neurologist, like the ER did. I actually cried in her office because I was so frustrated. She told me to call her if I still had symptoms the next Wednesday and to set up an appt with her that Friday. I thought that she should of been more serious, since the ER thought that what I had was a TIA. but nope. The visit lasted 10 minutes and then she was gone. After I left I decided to get a second opinion. I found a very good PA in West Jordan and made an appt with her.… She listen to me and did neurological tests. That visit lasted an hour. She even offered to refer me to a neurologist, but since the ER referred me I told her that she didn't have to. The ER referred me to a neurologist at Intermountian Healthcare in Murray. He listen to me and the story of my symptoms. He did more in depth neuro tests during my visit. He had a hunch that I had myasthenia gravis a neuro-muscular autoimmune disease, which can get serious if left untreated. I had a EMP and nerve conduction test the next day. It came out positive. I also had blood tests to confirm suspicions. He had put me on medication even before the final blood test. It took a week to get a diagnosis, by getting a second opinion. I don't know what would of happened if I took Dr. Fonseca's advise to call her if I still had symptoms a few days after. I was at a place then where I couldn't swallow, chew or speak by the end of the day. I told her that. She ignored me. Oh and her office sent in refills for a medication that I get from another doctor. The dose was wrong as well. Avoid her.

I have been a pt of Dr. Fonseca for a few years and, unfortunately, I am in agreement with the poor reviews here. When I first started seeing her I was quite satisfied but it hasn't been that way for a long time. I had not changed doctors hoping that the initial Dr I had met might once again show herself. After all, she was familiar with my history, my records were there, etc. . But it didn't get any better. It got worse. She became more dismissive, didn't listen, cut me off. The presence of the assistant was uncomfortable, embarrassing and even invasive. When I said something they even looked at each other like, "Can you believe this?" I finally had enough and I have not gone back.

I've seen Dr Fonseca for a long time and at first would have rated her highly. But over the last few times I have seen her, she rushes in and out, barely listens and even cuts me off. Its discouraging. And now there is always an assistant in the room charting and writing notes. I feel like I can't have a private conversation even if she did sit down and take a minute. It seems like her verbal and nonverbal communication is more in tune with the assistant than with me. I don't like it and am considering switching.
