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.

I was Sonja’s patient for many years and she literally saved my life when I divorced my husband of 36 years. She also sent the aforesaid husband to SF for treatment that diagnosed his Parkinson’s disease. She has saved my daughter’s sister in law from kidney failure, and helped me take care of my mother in her final years

Patient abandonment. I was a patient with real back problems etc. she defamed said I called her office being disrespectful and calling her names and cussing. That is not my character you can ask anyone. She. Ended dr patient relationship through a text message. Not even the four steps they need to take. I asked twice for my medical records she won’t give them to me. There is plenty of people who hit. There with no issues. The office manager does not have the credentials to hold that position. She put med on disability 4 months ago I’m still under her care and she won’t take any of my calls. She blamed this on her office manager saying it was her fault but come. To find out it was Sonja’s doing the whole time. She handed me off to martin Falappino in portervile to do her dirty work he told me on my last visit not to come back he can’t see me any more he was doing Sonja Fontana a courtesy favor. Proving the things she said I said was not true. You wait over an hour for a 5 minute visit with her.

Keeps prescribing me meds that don't work honestly might loose my job due to lack of sleep and anxiety induced through the medication.

Upon describing my symptoms of a sore neck to Ms.Fontana, she immediately wisked me away to get an X-ray without any form of thorough examination what so ever ! I not only felt real uneasy about her methods, but it just seemed as if she was trying to rack up a bill instead of actually showing due diligence and trying to actually solve my problem ! The whole visit seemed rushed and not very professional at all. I should have waited for the Actual Doctor!!!!!
