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.

Actually listens, is thorough, and caress
Dr. Fontenot takes the time to listen to what you are saying, while ensuring that the appropriate symptoms are followed up until a diagnosis is reached. He is prompt in everything he does as well as being thorough and accurate. The cherry on the top is how much he really cares! I send my entire family to him, including siblings. They all feel the way I do about Dr. Fontenot as our primary care physician. He is the cream of the crop!

Dr. Codey - AMAZING PCP
Dr Codey is AMAZING! He is thorough, knowledgeable, attentive, personable, and always polite. Every visit that I have gone to, he dives into what my concern is, and provides me with the best treatment plan. I would and have recommended everyone I know to Dr. Codey. He is the GOAT of PCP’s!!

I needed to establish a PCP and after looking online, decided with Dr. Fontenot. He addressed the medical needs that I went in for and explained everything in great detail. I haven’t had a doctor to sit down and talk to me the way he did. His bedside manner was amazing and I have definitely found my PCP.
