Dr Jeffery Fontenot is the first doctor that I have ever gone to that doesn't make you feel like you are a number. He takes your concerns and ailments and includes you in the care plan.
Dr. Fontenot is very responsive; timely follow-up with phone and portal communications. Clearly explains care plan, and targeted outcomes. Friendly support staff. Highly recommend.

I'll recommend Dr. Fontenot to anyone. He's what the healthcare system is in need of. Someone to not only listen, but follow through.

I think the nurses and the doctor was exceptionally good I really appreciated the way they waited on me and took care of me

I have had many primary care physicians in my lifetime. Dr. Fontenot was the most professional, informative, and easy to talk to doctor I have ever encountered. I am very pleased I came across their office close to work. I moved back to the Lafayette area and needed to find a primary care physician. He intently listened to my history and explained everything fully. I feel blessed to have found him. I would recommend him to anyone needing similar services.

First visit was a wonderful experience with Dr Jeffrey. He is extremely knowledgeable about medications and was very through in going over past illness as he wanted to be on track and find new ways to treat me with new medications that would work better for me. I will continue to see Dr Jeffrey and would highly recommend you visit with him soon. By the way his wife is a Doctor and works in same clinic (what a plus)

Very hard to find a GOOD physician these days. Also, good to know that Dr Fontenot IS accepting new patients (unlike more than half of physicians in Lafayette’s “close knit” health club). And when you do find one, have to wait 3 years for a visit, but was able to see Dr Fontenot within just a few weeks. Highly recommend Dr Fontenot!

Thank you for your kind words, we will make sure they reach our team. Best wishes!
