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.
Dr. Fontaine did a thorough analysis and took the time to listen. He created a thoughtful treatment plan. My results have been amazing! Highly Recommend.

I came to Dr. Fontaine to seek relief for menopausal symptoms that I've been experiencing for some time. In the initial consult we talked about me and what about we can do to not only treat these symptoms, but make me feel better overall. It's been just over a month and I feel great. Dr. Fontaine is very personable, listens and is enjoyable to "patient" with. I feel better than I've ever felt - excited for the rest of this journey with him and his lovely wife, Julie.

For years I haven't felt great, physically unable to figure out my body. Its been 16 weeks since I've started with Dr. Fontaine and I couldn't be more pleased. He's helped me understand how my body works, what I as an individual can and can't process, and helped move towards optimizing my body. He is 100% focused on helping me become the best me possible, and I couldn't be more thankful.

I have had multiple laser treatments for my face, neck, and hands to reverse sun damage and aging. I am SO HAPPY with the results and the patience, care, and expertise Dr. Fontaine has provided! After a very detailed consultation of how I was hoping to improve my skin (wrinkles, sun damage, loose skin), Dr. Fontaine came up with a wonderful plan to reverse the signs of aging and I couldn't be happier. The office environment is comfortable and appealing and the office staff is super friendly!

I loved Dr. Fontaine during the 6 years he worked with me for my neck condition that caused chronic pain, and wish he didn't leave the clinic I went to. He had very good beside manner, was down to earth, honest, and listened with compassion. It's hard to find good doctors with these qualities, plus I'm a nurse, so i know??

Dr. Fontaine is honest, friendly and makes it easy to understand his process. I received an epidural from him yet it did not help the back pain, he could have tried another epidural yet referred me on to the spinal surgeon as he didn't feel a 2nd epidural would help the situation, I appreciated the honesty. Referral to Dr. Long resulted in excellent results.
