Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great & Caring Doctor
Dr Fontenot listens to our concerns and treat our illness and has a great staff. We have been going to Dr Fontenot since we moved to Lafayette in 2016.

My long time family doc was retiring and I thought there was NO one who could fill his shoes. He recommended Dr. Fontenot to me and at my first visit it was immediately apparent why he had! He is very thorough and is concerned about my welfare. I recommend him without reservation.... (just try not to tell too many people or go too often 'cuz then I wouldn't be able to get an appointment for myself!! ;-)
