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!
