Ochsner Patient Verified Reviews
To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.
She always answer my questions and explain
Dr. Fontenot is very understanding and listens to me about my concerns about my mental and physical well being as I am going through my weight loss journey. She has a very positive outlook and is always supportive and encouraging me to continue with my efforts and not get overwhelmed when things are difficult. I greatly appreciate her support and encouragement.
Dr Fontenot answered all of my questions thoroughly. She was knowledgeable, more than competent and understanding. She gave me a realistic goal for losing weight. She understood my drive to do so was to take the pressure off of my back / body because of my disability caused by my back.
