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.

Excellent
Dr Fountain spent a long time with me discussing my condition and my options. He was very patient with me and allowed me to ask a lot of detailed questions. I went to him for a second opinion and I scheduled my surgery with him for surgery on my neck. He is very conservative and will only do what is medically necessary. I needed that reassurance I have never felt more comfortable with a provider than I did with him.

1st meeting
Dr Fountain’s friendliness put me at ease right away. Secondly, he really listened and conducted his visit with me in a way that did not make me feel he was off to the next patient. His honesty in telling me what he thought was sincere. He wasn’t rushing to have me go through surgery. Very grateful!

I visited with Dr. Fountain today. We discussed my options and decided I because I am not ready for surgery. Not that I won’t need it in the future but I may need a colleague of his to fix my problems.

Dr. Fountain and his entire staff made my whole experience positive. I was scared and uncertain about my double cervical fusion, and he and Anitra (as well as the whole team) were a tremendous source of patience, support, wisdom, and kindness. Their level of patience and professionalism is unparalleled. I am very thankful.

Todd performed my lumbar fusion. He was very conservative in my initial treatment. Surgery was only recommended when the conservative treatment (PT, nerve blocks, RFAs) no longer was providing any relief. My surgery went well and 5 years later, I have no lumbar-related pain. Todd was incredibly informative at every step. He very clearly explained the treatment and what I could expect. I give Todd my highest recommendation.

Great neurosurgeon – Dec 09, 2019

October, 2016, he fused 3 & 4 in my lower back. Nerves in left thigh were severed w numbness of knee and lower leg. He gave me 50-50 that surgery would help. It did not but I am w/o pain and, through physical therapy and continued exercise can walk again. Dr Fountain did a great job.

Dr. Fountain is a great neurosurgeon who performed cervical spine surgery with fusion on me in October 2017.. I no longer have chronic pain in my neck. I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering with spinal problems! Thank you Dr. Fountain for giving me my life back.
